Intrepid Fishing Boats
Fishing with Intrepid
Fishing boats must be made to accommodate the fisherman or woman as well as provide ample power, steering, stability, and comfort to the passengers. Whether the vessel is to be used for charter or for personal use does not matter in the overall intent of the fishing boat, it just must be suitable for catching fish. But when there is a vessel manufacturer which is dedicated to the manufacturing of high performance craft with angler features, such is worth noting. Intrepid boats, specifically the walk around and Center Console boats, are ideal for the avid fisher.
An industry norm
When looking into purchasing a fishing boat for sale, you will find that the Center Console, or the CC as it is commonly referred to, is the most popular of vessels. Intrepid fishing boats in the Center Console category range from the smaller 245 CC to the large 475 Panacea. In most instances personal fisherman and women will find that the CCs in the 245 to the 375 range are ideal. They are large enough to allow access to offshore fishing without the high risk or rolling and rocking, but at the same time they are small enough to trailer. Professional fishermen and woman may find that the 327 CC Tournament Edition or the larger boats are more idealistic for his or her needs.
Should you purchase a Cuddy for fishing?
Generally, a cuddy does not make for an ideal fishing boat. The Cabin space dominating the design is more appropriate for leisure and socialization. That being stated, should you wish to have a leisure boat which offers some of the features of a fishing boat, you may find the Intrepid 400 Cuddy to be accommodating. Fishing would be limited to the stern, though you may get some casing from the front console. The alternative to this design would be to use a walkaround boat (should you need the cabin).
The walkaround
The Intrepid Walkaround provides a different fishing experience from that of the Center Console fishing boats from Intrepid. The Walkaround has the aesthetic blend of the traditional walk around mixed with that of the cuddy. Specifically, the boat has a low-slung look of the cuddy while maintaining the features and the functionality of the walk around. This means that you get ample space throughout the vessel, perfect for casing and for reeling in fish, while at the same time you get the full galley, the cabin space, and the V8 tri configuration adding power and comfort to your fishing adventure.
Angler Features
Apart from the hull and the interior layout, the Intrepid fishing boats for sale are filled with the features that fishermen/women desire. This means that you have rod holders throughout, live wells, rocket (hardtop) rod holders, horizontal storage areas, ease of access to the stern and the bow of the vessel, and plenty of under deck storage room. Additionally, depending upon the model and the packaging that you choose, you may have a fishing tower or upgraded consoles to further enhance your offshore excursion.
Price of an Intrepid Fishing Boat
Intrepid walkaround boats have a price medium of $280,000 for pre-owned vessels. Newer models may go for a higher price, depending on the features. The Center consoles are based off of the LOA with the smaller boat, the246 CC, selling for around $35,000 and the larger 2018 Panacea selling for an average of $875,000+. Cuddy boats average around $559k for 2017 models.
The price will fluctuate depending upon the year and the features available. Consequently, the pre-owned fishing boats will have a lower price bracket than the newer.
