Family-safe walkaround with a real fishing/dive cockpit. Ready for the San Juans.
This ProLine 26 Walkaround is the rare 26-footer that actually does both jobs: high gunwales and wide sidedecks so kids and grandparents can move around without hanging over the water, plus a deep cockpit, fishboxes, livewell, and rod storage for people who actually fish and dive these waters. Fun fact, the large storage area in the aft compartment will hold 2 prawn traps, bale of line, and the buoys and flag poles needed to catch your next meal! Based in Anacortes — launch and you’re in Rosario, the islands, and the banks.
POWER (the part that matters out here)
-300hp Evinrude ETEC Gen2 — main power, 537.9 hrs on the display
-25hp Yamaha high-thrust kicker — trolling motor and get-home motor
-Trailer included, with a high-power winch WITH brand new battery that will pull a 40+ foot boat and not even notice it
Optional: twin Evinrude 250hp backup motors available for +$5,000 each. Take one, take both, or leave them.
The kicker is the difference between a fun boat and a boat you trust with your family on a falling tide or a long run home. High-thrust Yamaha is the right tool for salmon trolling and for creeping over dive sites.
WHY FAMILIES BUY THIS HULL
Walkaround layout = you can get to the bow without climbing over people or the windshield. Deep cockpit and high sides. Cabin for weather, a nap, or a potty stop instead of a bucket. Dual-motor setup (big ETEC + kicker) is the reliability story parents actually care about. Priced so you’re not stretching the household for a project that still needs a year of work.
WHY SERIOUS FISHERS AND DIVERS BUY IT
Classic ProLine fishing layout: room to fight fish, insulated fishboxes, livewell, under-gunwale rod storage, and a cockpit that doesn’t turn into a living room the second you leave the dock. 300hp ETEC has the punch to get to the banks and back. Kicker for slow troll and for holding over structure. Walkaround and typically a swim/dive-friendly transom so you’re not wrestling tanks and wet gear over a tiny platform. Anacortes home base puts you on salmon, lingcod, crab, shrimp, and San Juan walls without a two-hour commute.
CONDITION — honest and true, she isn't pristine, but she is reliable. With a bit of cleaning and new isinglass for the enclosure, you are set to boat year round!
Runs and is set up to use. Comes with the trailer. Interior needs a real cleaning and detailing — cushions, cabin, and cockpit cosmetics. That is already in the $35k price. Not a showroom flip. Not a hidden wreck. Come look at it in the light and decide.
