Here's my boat. With my growing family, growing expenses that goes along with it, resulting in no time, wife says it has to go.
It's a 2006 ACB 23' Sportfisher (28' LOA) with rails added on. It's essentially an RIB that is all aluminum.
It has an Evinrude 225 E-Tec with about 80 hours, Mercury Bigfoot 9.9 kicker, Raymarine C-80 system (radar, gps, fishfinder), and suspension seats. Max speed is about 30 knots. It handles well in rough water very well.
Boat qualified to be documented with the USCG, and is.
Contact me if you are interested.

Looks like a very capable boat Bryan.
Would suit our west coast - lots of treacherous harbour bars, solid swell etc.
Seems a pity to have to sell it, but family comes first...
Hope you can still get out on the water from time to time!
Good luck with the sale, Justin

That's one great looking boat Bryan, I could really use it here in the NE, I don't remember the last time I came home dry. It's a shame that it is wrong timing for me, college tuition kicking in. I'm sure that it is in great shape, I've noticed on how maticulous you are when servicing reels. Good luck with the sale, it must not be easy getting rid of it.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Brian,
I'm not in the market, but for anyone who is ACBs are fantastic. We use them a lot in the Navy, and if I could put my family in anything to go over a PacNorWest bar, it would be built by ACB.

That was my idea too. Great ride in snotty surf and weather with soft landing most of the time. Following seas are great as well.

Nah, just send it up here, I'm closer.  I promise I won't go out on sea trials - I'll just exercise it every 1-2 weeks to keep it limber.  Whatta gorgeous boat!! I'd love to help you out, Bryan. |

Thanks. It's a great rough water boat.
One of the times we went fishing, it was nice and calm in the morning, but the run back, was windy, and the was 8-10 ft. swells every 8-12 seconds. Very snotty for me. These boats do extremly well in following seas as it floats right on top, but I didn't want to wait that long to get back, so I was at full throttle most of the way back to test the boat out (within my fear factory of course). We jumped waves and it landed softer than any other smaller boat that I had ridden in. We also broke through the backs of waves as we approached and the boat just popped right up and through. I would never do this in a fiberglass boat of fear the bow would bust. With the Alaskan cab, door shut and sealed, we stayed warm and dry the whole ride back. There were times that we could not see anything because the water sprays (felt like I was on the Deadliest Catch), but I never felt like we were in danger unlike my previous boat.
Comes with a pair of Scotty Down Riggers as well.
