BGA's Dually is For Sale

[Bygracealone]

Hey guys,

I've always wanted a center console and after spending a considerable amount of time looking, I've found a couple that I'm interested in. In order to do so, I have to sell the Dually. My dad is going to kill me. This is the second boat he's helped me with through the blazing MD Summer that I've put up for sale. Sorry pop. I hope the next boat will be one that doesn't require any hard labor :-[ Next visit will be purely fishing, Lord willing.

MJ, I know the timing stinks and I apologize for that, but given that our boats are different models I think it will be okay.

So, here's the rundown.

The hull is an 86 Dual Console with a full transom and a Gil bracket.
Motor: 1996 200HP Johnson Oceanrunner 25" shaft with less than 400 hours. Motor is counter rotation with SS prop.
60 gallon fuel tank
New Racor fuel/water separator
New primer bulb, fuel filter, and fuel line
New throttle and shifter cables
New NFB 4.2 Steering
New bow light
New horn
Dual batteries and battery compartments with battery selector switch.
Not sure if fishfinder works. It's one of the cheaper Humminbird models.
There are no other electronic frills on the boat.
Factory installed baitwell
Self-bailing deck
Bimini top in great condition
1986 Torino aluminum dual axle trailer in great condition. Approximately 1k miles on new rims and tires (no title for trailer, bought in FL that way)

She performs very nicely with those 200 horses on the Gil bracket. I'm working on getting the VRO disconnected. I'm getting a false alarm reading for no oil, even though everything is hooked up. I've been running her premixed nevertheless.

As you might have guessed, she's not perfect; she's over 20 years old. A couple of the compartment hatch covers are a bit weak (storage bin and fish box on front casting deck). Other than that, the deck and transom are strong. The wiring is ugly, but works. She doesn't have windshields, as most of you know... Even so, with a bit of work, she might grow up to be like Lumber's Dually one day ;)

Take a look at my gallery for pics. I plan to update them soon. I'll even try to make a video of the engine running. If you have any questions, please ask. I'll do the best I can to answer. Feel free to stop by and check her out.

I'm looking to get $6500 for the package.

I'm willing to sell the hull, bracket, and trailer for $4000 (minus motor and controls).

I may also consider other combinations sort of like MJ has done with his trailer. If I find a center console with a single axle trailer, I may consider switching trailers and sell for less. Or I might choose to swap motors and sell for less.

You guys get first dibs. I won't be listing it elsewhere till tomorrow evening or Monday.

Please allow me to say how grateful I am to have found this forum. I have gained a huge amount of boat knowledge and have made some really good friends. Like Franco and Willy and others, I hope that if and when my V sells that I might still have a spot here among you all. Who knows, maybe I'll find a sweet V20 center console 8)

I found a small soft spot on the deck near the captain's chair. The wiring isn't pretty, but works. With a bit of work, she might grow up to be like Lumber's Dually one day ;)

You're going to miss the Dually. Being someone who's fished all three styles, the dually has the best of everything. Now, if you're a hardcore fisherman, the CC is right up your alley.
