This is a 2002 VIP Bay Stealth 2230 Center Console with a Yamaha F200TXRA 200 HP 4-stroke, and made to order tandem axle, galvanized trailer w/disc brakes, all in excellent condition. The motor is a 2002, but has the upgraded 2003 intakes installed. A new water pump was installed at 150 hours. I’m the original owner and have all of the original papers and maintenance records.
This boat has been babied, meticulously maintained and always garaged. The motor has only 210 hours. It has a full boat custom canvass cover and canvass motor cover for when I take it on multi-day fishing trips away from my primary fishing areas of the middle Chesapeake Bay.
I’m a light tackle / fly fisherman and got this boat in large part due to its 12” draft / phenomenal shallow water capabilities as well as being able to handle big water exceptionally well with an incredibly dry ride. It’s set-up with a Minn Kota Rip Tide 24 V Bow mount motor that allows me to cover lots of skinny water without spooking the fish – it’s a MUST if you like a shallow water bite. If you don’t want this motor, I’ll remove it and sell it separately.
Since this is a liner boat, it has storage galore – plenty of room for rods, tackle, and anything else you can imagine. It has a live-well and bait well – both are aerated. There’s a removable bow mounted lean post/seat.
It also has a Lowrance LCX-26C HD GPS/Sonar. If you don’t want this unit, I’ll remove it and sell it separately.
With 3 young kids and a new career, I simply don’t have the time I used to have 5 years ago for fishing. I have close to $40,000 invested in this boat and I’m asking only $22,000. My loss is your gain. Call me with any questions you may have 410-977-5540.
