This 1983 Seaway 19 was just brought in to my friend's Boat Shop for tune up. Being offered for $5000.00 with trailer. Heavily built. No electronics but reasonably priced for inshore fishing. Thought I would let the board know....

Salty vessel

Yes. Appears to be solid. Could be fished as is this season and then dive into winter project to dress her up.....

That's Ben Gardner's Boat. It's Ben Gardner's boat. Sure I know him. He's a fishermen.

Those are great little boats.
Motor not the greatest choice.

nice boat / but age & age of the mariner /priced at top dollar ...........9/10 the motor will need to be replaced soon ><

Ok I think i'm a few years away from considering a boat (but my new locale seems more conducive to boats than yaks so who knows) but this would scare the hell out of me as a total newb to boats! looks ancient!educate me on how this chit works..

you mean "gateway" boat

a habit-forming boat that, while not itself addictive, may lead to the use of other addictive boats. "many believe that starter boats are gateway boats that increase the risk of subsequent involvement with larger and more expensive boats"
