Hi folks,

I still have my boat for sale, if there is anyone out there looking for a setup like this please feel free to let me know. I am willing to listen to offers as i need to move this setup. thats the boat, engine and trailer. I simply do not have room for it as i live in an apartment and we may be moving soon to another where i will lose the space.

Boat runs great, took my daughter on the bay yesterday.

the boat is a 2002 and the engine is a 1987 that runs like a top. always maintained.

I also have a penn fathomaster downrigger set for the boat if you want it as well.

Trailer has perm. plate and the boat has the 2013 regis. i have all papers in hand.

I can show the boat tomorrow (sat) but not sunday since i work starting at 2 am! We can even take it to the harbor for a test drive in rwc at chesapeke.

my number is 650 533-3694.

Thanks for reading!

john

I had an SD 124 Achilles and I loved it. This would make a great little dive boat for 2. Im interested.

thanks folks, i forwarded some photos out to joe (bloodbath) and here are a few. i need something older and little bigger for my own family, looking for a 12-14' fiberglass with a decent motor. i have been looking at older starcraft fiberglass boats and will be setting something like that up for center control. this achilles is great and i have used it on some big days out of hmb. last year i was in about 12-15' seas hauling my crab pots several miles out.

the trailer is nothing to brag about, made from a harbor freight base with bearing buddy's i had to make fit, they should be replaced but they have been greased well each time. this trailer has taken the boat to fresno, monterey, santa cruz, hmb pretty regularly and can be pulled by most any car. total package is around 300lbs., engine, boat and trailer. the 8 hp > motor cover is not so great as i bought it this way but it has been regularly serviced and is clean inside. its cleaned and flushed good after every single outing. typically its a one pull motor. starts easy. 50:1 mix.

i have two motors that work on this boat, the one on the boat is a 8hp 2 stroke nissan from the late 80's and another is the nissan 4 stroke from 98. the 2 stroke is much quicker, bigger displacement and overall speed. the 4 stroke can plane one person.  the boat is a year 2002 104 (10 feet 4 inch). the lifters in back are maxi marine sb-1's. they help the boat get on a plane faster and in big water its more stable.

i dont know what market value for a setup like this is so if you guys have any idea please tell me what you think its worth and it will help me to decide if i can part with it and afford to put together something else.

some of my most memorable runs in the boat was out of horsehoe cove marina in sausalito and out of the ggb. i went around and north towards bolinas and came back in after some fishing. also tried to go for sturgeon out of the port of RWC and motored south past the dumbarton bridge, i didnt know how to fish sturgeon so i caught some sharks and released then headed home. the most mileage i have done in the boat in a single morning of fishing is around 20 miles or so.

thanks!

john

How much?? I am looking if the price is right.

i'd like to get around 2000.00 for everything but i would like also to know what sounds reasonable to others. i am not too familiar with the boat market. everything is registered as well and i have papers for them.

if the price seems high i'd like to know as well. if i dont sell it i might have to wait to change boats next year and just use it through this crab season as well.

i didnt mention this earlier but the mickey mouse hypalon patches are removable (my daughter likes mickey) , there were 2 pinhole leaks on the air floor which were patched. no other patches on the boat.
