linesider 159 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 I wouldn't totally trust someone that says it does 50. It's a 38-39 mph boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16bayfisher Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 That doesn't look like a 2000 bayfisher platform or seat. Both could've been changed I guess. Looks more like a Maverick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linesider 159 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 It's not a hewes. 99% sure it's a 17 master angler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 One thing I learned the hard way while shopping on e-bay is, what's in the picture is not always what they are selling... Never underestimate the lack of knowledge people have.. when I bought my bonefisher the guy told me only did 40.... I looked at the 150 TRP(duel counter-rotating props),and went hhhmmm.. we'll see about that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lap it Up Posted February 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Kind of why I figured it could be a good buy for someone if it checked out. It looks like a MA to me as well. I've bought quite a number of things off people that didn't know what they had. Low ball of 7,500 or 8,000 could get you in on a MA? That ain't too shabby in my book.

justfish Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Something just isn't adding up to me with this boat. Mostly the long range pic, (possibly) not knowing the make of boat, and the fact that it's been for sale for at least 12 days in Miami area according to CL ad. We're not talking Walla-Walla Washington where this isn't a popular boat, lots of folks in Miami like these... The manufacturer of the boat is on the CG plate. Even if it's a Hewes it will say Maverick boat company, which really makes me believe somethings odd. That said, I too have bought some stuff that people don't know the value and gotten good deals. If it were close, I'd prob look at it, which makes me surprised someone in So FL hasn't...I hope it ends up being a good deal for someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipTide Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Sure squats like a Hewes. That back rest is what looks out of place for a Hewes unless MBC or current owner changed it out at one point. All in all, think this is a scam as who owns a boat who is trying to sell and takes a FAR away pic of the boat?? WTF May be a perfectly legit deal but sure is strange, then again, everything in Miami is strange. Hey Dino and Don, how you guys doing do there? :laugh: Buyer BEWARE!!!

gnarlydog Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Morning guys. Figured you would appreciate some more info on this boat. Purchased her last night. This is my first boat and am excited to be a part of the Hewes family. Can't wait to get her out on the water. She was used as a tender on a 61ft Viking for her first 10 years and the second owner didn't have much time to take her out on the water these last few years. Appears to have been well taken care of. Below are some photos.

Lap it Up Posted February 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 People like to pick ads apart, but I do the opposite. I like ads with spelling errors, bad pics, no pics etc. Sometimes you can get some good deals with a lot less pressure from other tire kickers. Glad to see you got a nice boat. Enjoy!

snookman9 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Agree. I am waiting for the day when a listing comes up that says: 24ft Yellowfan with 300hp Mercruiser Varedo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MA18Colorado Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 LOL, I bought my MA 18 a year ago from a guy in Kennewick, WA for $8K. Had to fly up from Colorado and drive it back with a UHaul. Fun trip with my son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
