At 27 feet overall, it’s a near-perfect Northwest boat. Big enough to feel solid and safe, yet still easy to maneuver in tight quarters and find a slip in even the most popular harbors on holiday weekends. It’s been ideal for family days on Lake Washington, with seating for up to 10 people, plus a proper head with macerator and holding tank—a feature usually found on much larger (and slower) boats.
It’s equally comfortable in saltwater. Quick day trips to Gig Harbor, Bainbridge, or Poulsbo are a breeze, and longer runs north toward the Canadian Gulf Islands have been effortless. The Carolina-style bow flare keeps the ride smooth and dry, and on calm days the boat will run right around 47 mph.
This is a boat you don’t see come up for sale very often—largely because of how well it’s been cared for, both cosmetically and mechanically. All service has been performed by Yamaha-certified technicians only, with ALL MAINTENANCE RECORDS ON-HAND!
This boat works just as well for a solo owner as it does for a full family. It feels very safe thanks to a well-engineered hull that handles larger sea states with confidence. Power comes from a 250hp Yamaha, known for best-in-class reliability, and the electronics package includes Garmin radar, chartplotter, sonar, Fusion audio and VHF—everything needed to go anywhere on the water. And because it’s trailerable, “anywhere” really does mean anywhere: lakes, rivers, or saltwater destinations.
While it may not have the same name recognition in the Northwest as Grady-White or Boston Whaler, a little research goes a long way. You’re getting the same capability on a newer platform, with modern mechanics and electronics—without paying a premium just for the name. One thing that’s always stood out to me (and my passengers) is how much attention this boat gets—nearly every outing comes with a compliment.
We’re selling simply because we’ve relocated to SE Washington and are now spending most of our free time in aviation rather than on the water. The boat is currently stored indoors under a custom heavy-duty full-length cover, in Walla Walla for the winter. I’m happy to take a serious buyer on a sea trial on the Columbia River in the Tri-Cities, and I can help with delivery to Western Washington or Oregon if needed.
Clean title in hand.
