1995 Campion Explorer 188 - NANAIMO

Seller note:

Immaculate inside and out and just waxed is this 18 1/2 foot Campion Explorer Cuddy with full canvas cover. Low hours with every upgrade done! This boat is in turn-key condition, completely stocked with everything you need to do some serious fishing or to have some fun like towing the included 2 person float complete with tow ropes. Max speed is 62km/h on calm waters @ 4600 rpm from the improved 4 cylinder late model Volvo Penta b230 red block engine. The engine is so economical being a SOHC 4 cyl, especially since I rebuilt the carburetor and installed a new cylinder head, yet it's more than powerful enough for this boat allowing it to get up on plane and out of the hole fully loaded in seconds. When I replaced the cylinder head I got a good look at the exhaust manifold and it was in great shape. The coolant system also got a flush - no leaks anywhere on any of the engine systems. The leg is a Volvo Penta SP Co-trim with no known problems. The bellows are in great condition and the hydraulic trim/tilt works great, the oil in the leg is not white or murky. The cuddy is in perfect condition with no mold and sleeps 2, sleeps 4 total on the boat using the fold down main seats as beds. The cuddy offers tucked away storage compartments, a switchable light and roof hatch. The entire engine compartment has been soundproofed which has dramatically cut down the noise levels of the engine at any RPM, allowing people to converse without having to scream over the roar of the engine. This boat is the perfect size for someone new to boating or an avid fisher, stable, fast and feels big enough to be in a choppy ocean, but still manageable that one person can load/unload her off the trailer.
I just took her for a cruise today to verify everything is working as expected and she performed amazingly. I'll encourage anyone to get a survey done on this boat as it will only prove it's worth is well over my asking price.
