2005 MayCraft 2550XL Pilothouse -- Sold

[B-Faithful]

I am considering having a semi custom boat made and am putting out feelers in this soft market to see if I can do it.

Boat is 2005 MayCraft 2550xl Pilothouse w/225 OptiMax DTS (digital throttle and shift) w/~370hours and under warranty until 07/08 (I believe it can be extended up to 3 years. I would have to check). Motor has been perfect and run on Opti oil w/ quickleen. Most hours are spent at near idle trolling for stripers in the brackish (low salt0 Chesapeake Bay outside of annapolis.

Cruise is 27-30mph depending upon seas and low 40's at WOT. Cruise in calm water yeilds close to 3mpg with regular load.

25'6" hull length plus pulpit and bracket
142 gal fuel tank

Options include:
Smartcraft guages
full transom with Armstrong bracket and full swim platform
extended hardtop enclosure (keeps whole crew out of the weather)
fiberglass bow pulpit with roller
raw water wash down
dual batteries
Opening front windows
Garmin 3010c w/ sounder box and Mid atlantic and Chesapeake chips
Standard Horizon Matrix VHF
Quick Windlass w/ Delta fast set anchor
Merc Enertia x7 alloy prop
12 rod holders topside
Storage boxes under seats
5 star roller trailer with torsion axle and disk breaks

I had the deck gell coated with non skid last year due to slick deck form the factory..

I am willing to consider any and all offers... I will just go to the custom builder with a lower offer. (cannot promise anything but will give it a whirl)

1. trailerable without permits and with a 1/2 ton truck to follow the fish from NJ to the CBBT and beyond...

3. Large open cockpit
4. large top for shade in the summer and encloseable for warmth in the winter
5. weather protection must be for the whole crew so no one suffers
6. stable at rest or on the slow troll yet a decent ride in the slop

Boat still catches fish. Fished the MSSA tournament and had 21 fish in 2 days with 3 over 40" including one 44" (that unfortunately only went 28.69lbs on the scales ).



She has a little over 410 hours now and is still under warranty. There have been no warranty claims on the boat and probably 85% or more of its hours have been spent slow trolling for stripers. OptiMax oil and quickleen have always been used and she is propped properly for efficiency and longevity. The digital throttle and shift along with the smart craft make the power a great match for fishing. Come make offers and see what a true bass fishing machine the boat is I still have the itch to have a semi-custom built by Judge Yachts



Here is the largest of the 21 fish we landed

This is the cruise with a 17" rev 4. 29+ at 4030 rpms burning 10.3 gph. I am more fuel efficient with the enertia prop on there now. Also the Garmin has been upgraded from the 2010c to the 3010c
