$13,500 with looks to be decent newer 4 strokes. Not mine but definitely a unique design. If I was closer I definitely would want to take a peak :-)

Interesting. Wonder how much that DIY hardtop weighs?

   Looks funny on land, but put it in the water............and it's a whole different story.  Kinda cool! :biggrin:

Nice boat and I am sure the top works well, somebody will get a good set up.....but, I only like modifications that look like they belong, for me I'm not too fond of it - I also would like to see it in person, but too far.

Agreed.

X3, I like the one with the aluminum top with the slant forward windshield that I think another member here had or sold much better

I've fished around this boat a few times on the Columbia around St. Helens... I would second the note that on the water it looks pretty cool.

With the price he's asking for a 17' in nice shape with 4 strokes and gear, the top is just a bonus.

That was Eric's boat... he was active on the Arima forum until he sold it and got a Parker.

I believe he was asking $20k for that boat down in S. California.  Not sure what it ultimately sold for. 

$13,500 for this boat in OR/WA seems like a pretty good deal to me.

I got over asking 45 mins after posting it forsale down here. Ironically there is are multiple copies of my boat down here now, but mine lives on in San Diego/mx with a world class spear fishermen

The top on your previous boat looks like it belongs, it fits the look of the boat well. Has that no frills, commercial, down to business look. I like it. I might get beat up for saying this, but any pics of the new Parker?  :biggrin:

Rokefin, I've seen a video on you tube of a 17 Arima 30 miles offshore in San Diego fishing tuna

Mostly off cal but we do run down to mx water from San Diego

The big tuna we caught this year around 20-60miles offshore... my arima had been to all the same areas aswell

Thanks Scericz, I just started to follow you on Instagram.  I have a bow tank along with the rear tank so my range is pretty good on the 17 Chaser - hopefully I can soon graduate up to the tuna. I'll enjoy the video now...

Ssericz

YA Greg no need to run radar with 40+ mile vis haha

Since that was filmed I've done a lot of changes on the boat
