TATA is in winter storage (on the hard) in 100 Mile House, BC. Our lakes here are usually ice-free late April/early May so a sea trial cannot be completed until then. Delivery can be arranged. TATA is in very good condition, runs great and is very reliable. New Price $31,000 CAD OBO. Marine survey 2023. As is. Please contact Roger at 250-945-5288

How far would you consider delivering and what’s your $/mi? I’ve been looking for a 27FC on a trailer but I’m in Michigan. I know that’s pretty silly but this looks like a nice boat and thought I’d ask.

Hi Nate, We picked the boat up in Ontario, brought it to BC and then decided to do the Loop so drove back to Ontario and then back to BC again. So used to driving it around. At current prices my fuel costs alone would be $2100 CAD return. Then there's getting it across the border...which I know nothing about. If you want to pursue let me know. It is a very nice boat, runs great, very reliable. We were in Ludington when we did the Loop. Roger

Small world, boat would be back in a slip in Ludington. Yeah I’ll do some work on thinking about logistics. Thinking would possibly meet you at the border in North Dakota.

-Nate

I dropped the price to $34000 CAD...hoping to sell by end of May.

Roger, Can you forward a copy of the last survey to me as well as information about the trailer. Pictures of the trailer would be great. I am located near Thunder Bay, Ontario. Are you able to deliver to my home? Thanks Doug 807 633 8289 dmasnkb@gmail.com
