I may have found my new boat

[Fisherdv]

I used to like the little C-Dorys also. I used to see two of them regularly on a river I fish. One was about 22', the other was about a 16. Nice little boats. I tried to post the link but it doesn't come out highlighted on here from my iPhone

Does the salmon and crab come with the boat

[Markshoreline]

Not mine, but a couple of those crabs look small!

One thing to consider... re-sale.

Heavy gauge welded tin cans from known Pacific NW builders don't depreciate in value much, which is why it is so hard to find something like a Hewes Pro-V cheap.  The flip side is when it comes time to sell, they pretty much sell themselves (for brands like North River, Duckworth, and Hewes, they seem to hold their value even better than Arimas).

If you may have sell this boat down the road at some point, that is one thing to consider when pricing against cheaper Smokercrafts, Klamaths, Bayrunners, etc...

[Fisherdv]

As much as I liked my Klamath I had the bottom thickness is not that thick. If you plan on beaching or banging around on rocks I would use caution. Although gravel should be fine. The  more offshore oriented Klamath or Bayrunner Baja models have a thicker aluminum hull

[Fisherdv]

This should do it, 16 ft, not sure of the cost, but probably $$$ Looks like a solid boat

 I really like the raised bow on the Bayrunner Bajas, looks like it could take some good water. So many choices, sorry Salmon King It's really up to YOU what you want and fits your needs. I almost feel like I'm boat shopping again

I agree with you about the look.  They are deeper, and wider than a standard Bayrunner. 
It looks so seaworthy.
Unfortunately this model is extremely hard to come by in our area.  Of course when they do they demand a PREMIUM price.  Owners get ridiculously high dollar for them.
Regular bay runners come up frequently however.

I really don't have a need or a want for a 18' Boat though....
I should have stepped up for the 16...it was pretty nice and had 2017 main and kicker motors...

[StreamFixer]

Sounds like Arima 19SC pricing and demand..

Here's a new, 17 ft. Actually pretty reasonable starting price @ $20,995

Some info:

[Salmon King]

Everyone...

I have decided to suspend my search until the boat/sportsman shows roll around.
At that time I'm going to see about a new one.
Then I can set it up how I need it and not have to deal with inheriting someone else's "custom" items.

Thanks for looking though...

[Fisherdv]

Sounds good SK. I remember you saying you weren't in any hurry to get another boat as you still catch a lot from shore. Waiting may be a good idea. That way you can take your time and get what you really want once you find it. Good luck!

Here's your new boat. The tounge option on the trailer would sell like hot cakes in the northwest.

It sure does huh. I love it, every square inch is functional.

    The problem with that boat is, every time you step on board, you have to be dressed in camouflage.  Hey........it's the law!  I still think one of those Smartwaves is the way to go........at least for what Salmon was planning on doing.   My personal favorite is that SW4800 Cuddy.  15'-7"L, 6'-6"W and 750 lbs?  Man....I'd get pretty exited seeing that with a 60 Honda.  I'd probably even pay a little money to see the performance stats. I think there's a pic, somewhere out there, of one of those with an arch and rocket launcher over the canvas.
