Gday.  I have found a 660 trailcraft 2007 that has never been in the water here in Canada. Boat was imported by a dealer, but never used. We have never seen these boats here. How are they in rough water? How are the welds? What HP are required… ? How is the track when trawling ? Any help is appreciated . They are asking 75k Canadian dollars with a new 200hp Suzuki .

They're a good solid platform. 

Welds are fine, Aussie built mate.

Over time, depending how hard you are on it, you'll probably have to touch a few welds up, but that aluminium for you. 

200hp will push that along nicely. 

 

 

Never been in one to give opinion on the ride. I'd say it'll be okay. Been in a few like it, and they ride nicely. 

 

Don't know Canada's pricing but here in Australia that amounts to a bit under 85k.

That's what a 2023 model goes for. 

 

While it's never been in the water, it still has ageing of components to take into consideration.

Thanks for that… why did they go broke ?

Not sure they went broke. 

 

From all reports they've moved to Chinese manufacturing.

There's a few companies doing it now.

The 2007 should still be aussie made not chinese so it will be a lot better built.

The aussie made ones had a great reputation with owners. 

Does seem a bit expensive but a new 200hp 4 stroke is a fairly large chunk of that money.
