If you look on Yacht World there is a 40' Striker for sale in Port Clinton OH. First time I've heard of a striker for sale in "inland" waters. Thought somebody might like to take a look at it for fun. I do like the battleship spot light and the hooded depth finder. John http://www.yachtworld.co...isting_id=74977&url=

Never seen that boat around here before. The side shot looks like Sandusky not Port Clinton but cant tell for sure. I'd go take a look after work if I knew where it was. -Karl 1986, 32' Sedan, twin 360ci, 275hp Chrysler's w/ K&N flame arrestors

Peter, I've got a bunch of teak that's perfect for a Marinette's cockpit that I'd be willing to sell for less than half of the current retail price of teak :-) I bought a bunch (approx 4' x 4' x 5' pile) of it for a boat project many years ago, but ended up selling the boat before I used any of the teak. I'd planned to use some of it for my cockpit floor when it needed replacing, but w/ my son headed for med school I can't afford to keep the boat any more. Fred

YUP!!! For that boat sounds like a real good price. Down here they are a quick sale. Only bad thing I've heard is they don't RAISE FISH as well as glass boats. Sorrydog

Sorrydog Well I guess I have to respond to that one :) Story I GOT was that the Strikers with DD's raise fish better than just about anything else. Don't know if its true or not. The charter captain who ran my boat 10 years swears by it. Always caught fish. Personally we've never been skunked yet but that's more chance than anything else. Lord knows it isn't skill! You won't find many of them in charters in the US now as they were foreign built and not eligible. Battlewagon Fishing Charters Guarantee - If we don't catch fish you don't come back! John

I would be interested in buying that teak from you and working with it this winter. Would have to get a price and figure a time to drive North from old Kentuck

The picture looks like it was taken at Craft's old place next to the police station and sailing basin in downtown Sandusky. It is off of Monroe Ave. Scott Scott Ross

John, After thinking about it , mabey the guys i talked to JUST DONT KNOW HOW TO FISH!!! Striker sure built a LOT of beutiful sport fish boat and were very succesful at it. I have seen some that had to be at least 80 ft or bigger with a beam of at least 20 ft come thru St. Augustine, Fl. Tricked out with $40-50 thou in rods alone!!! Heading to S. America. Guys I talked with were down in St.Croix when I lived there. Always wanted to own one!! Sorrydog

Well like all aluminum boats there is a discount when you buy and when you sell. I have had mine 2 1/2 years and some of the ones that were for sale when I was looking are still for sale. Of course the 41 Marinette that I looked at before I ever heard of a Striker is still out there for sale.
The only thing I have ever heard bad about these boats from someone who has run one is the paint. No surprise there. They are not the same as a Marinette though. They are designed to be all weather ocean boats. As such they are not as nimble as a Marinette. On the other hand a beam sea that will toss a marinette around is nothing to a Striker. All the owners I have talked to have stories about incredible seas and cruising right through them. The boats were very high end when new. Striker's moto was that they build small ships. Sometimes this is a problem because the local marina can't identify the hardware on the boat. You have to go to a commercial yard.
I would guess that this one could be had for $55K to $60K.
John
