[ibergstein1]

Hey guys. Selling my arima. Sad day! Here is the Craigslist add. If you have any questions about the refit ask away! I put a ton of time and effort into it. Thanks

    Please don't shoot the messenger, but did you know, you're boat is listed on Craigslist for the "whopping" sum of $280,000?  Might be a bit high...........even for the West Coast.  (haha)

[ibergstein1]

Hahahaha thanks yat! I'll fix that.

Iber, you need a proper link for a proper boat.  Somebody's going to get a polished gem in this one.  A lot of care and pride of ownership is apparent here.  Good luck with the sale.

Thanks Mooch! Didn't see that. I'm just a dumb welder, computers aren't quite my thing. Much appreciated on the kind words. I was back from alaska last summer on a layoff for a couple months. I put well north of 1k hours into her! Thought she was gonna be my forever boat, then I got the tuna itch and a 23' Stieger craft and a brand new KEM 350 fell into my lap!

Nice looking boat.

Would you mind pm'ing me with a phone # to reach you at? I couldn't find one on the ad, and I'm having issues with the pm function.

Or if I'm just not seeing the number someone could point it out.

Cheers

[Mooch]

Iberg, i get the tuna thing and I love the Steiger.  If you fish out of Westport and you need a last minute deck hand and some help with fuel give me a holler.  Good luck this season and hope they're in close.  We never made it out last year.

[ibergstein1]

Ben - pm sent. I believe to see  my number on CL there is a blue telephone button somewhere at the top of the page. When you click it my number should show up.i will check it and If it's not there then I will put it in the ad.

Mooch. I at least know I should be in Westport for the Washington tuna classic, my company is one of the event sponsors. We should definitely link up tho! Last year was a bad one, I heard of lots of skunk days from the guys I know. Lots of high mileage days too.

Hey sorry guys! I have a sale pending right now. Someone flagged the damn post and I was working ridiculous hours so i didn't have time to go through the whole b.s. of finding all the pics, reposting and stuff. If the sale falls through I will let you know and the boat will be for sale at Boat country at that point.

PRICE DROP $23500
Circumstances have changed and i need her gone. may be obo if dealing with someone from this group. This boat has everything done to it and is READY TO FISH, with a WARANTEE ON THE MOTOR TILL 2022. Electronics alone were pushing 6k not including the time on the install. This boat litterally has more goodies than most pilot house boats.

[amazing grace]

 This is sounding like a great buy on a 19 Skiptower. Which is an awesome model of an Arima. I owned one and loved it. You really need to post some pic. I went to the boat country website and could not get a pix to load. This unit sounds really, really nicely outfitted and the price sounds great. Mine was a 1989 (first year model)  and there was nothing I did not like about the bones of it. Just a great boat.  Oh, and a late model E-tec Yeah baby!

[Markshoreline]

Awesome boat for the money and all the work is done!

[ibergstein1]

Thanks guys! I haven't had any issues viewing the images but here is the link for the boat country add again.

all my photos were on my other phone that I killed the other day and I haven't been back up there in the last couple weeks to take more pics. Earliest I could make it up there to take more would be end of next week.

Like I said I am willing to negotiate with a member of this forum and we can get the number down more towards the 20k range. Really the only thing this boat needs is a good buffing/wax. Other than that I tried to lay the boat out smart, all the lighting switches electronics are set up for convienence at 4am or 4pm . It fishes amazing too. The bones on this boat are as solid as they come. I have had her completely stripped down and even went as far as cleaning the fuel tank for the hell of it and pulling the skip top and recarpeting it. None of this needed to happen but i did it anyways. This boat was built to be my fishing boat for the next long time and will give the next owner good times for a long time.

[amazing grace]

Pix do work. That is a great set up. Tell us about the rails on the top of the skiptower. That is unique and never seen that before. Tempting for sure. That boat does look like it would fish very well.
