Stable DRY RideThe Roamer is stronger and more seaworthy than all other boats of its time,this RSE model was designed and used as Police and Fire patrol boats and is an excellent model for enjoyment for YEARS.

The boat is rare, in all my research and all pages devoted to Roamers, there not another to be seen.

The Good

Excellent hull- No damage or even scuffing on the rails, the hardware looks rechromed but is original, only the spotlight shell has very small pitting. Twin K engines are original with 620 and 621 low hours with NEW or re manufacturedregulators, starters and generators. The original anchor is still there.

Trailer was new in 2009, has been used to store boat. Has never been used over the road with the boat. Electric brakes on all wheels Twin axels rated at 5400# ea.

The boat has not been bastardized. and is an excellent base for a boat for the next several decades

The Bad

Through hull shaft logs need welded, or (I can supply bronze shaft logs but do not recommend),

The Ugly

Upholstery, Headliner, finish linoleum, brightwork and prior owner had hole in bulkhead for a depthsounder and s-s radio (included).

Asking $19,750 includes trailer and extras. Will consider partial/full trades, and please, no more brokers.
