2005 Rosborough "short cabin"

[MouseTrap]

I am VERY tempted by this. The vast majority of these have the Sedan Cruiser cabin. This is the first used one I've seen on the market that doesn't have an I/O motor box eating up cockpit space.

Not familiar with these but seems high for an 8 year old 24 footer regardless of the hours.

There is one just like that locally in my area just down the street from me. Appears to be a nice solid boat. I have not talked to the owner. If you are truely serious, I can make it a point to contact him and get his opinion on it for you.....or perhaps he follows this forum and will reply? I knew a couple who owned the cruiser version with the I/O. They loved it. Kind of pricey though.

These are a very well made boat. I looked at these very seriously before I bought my seaway coastal cruiser. but these have a cult like following The C-Brats :: Home here is a web site that has a wealth of information on the Cdory And Rosborough boats. hope this helps

The asking price, and the selling price are two different things . But they do seem to hold their value, and people hang on to them forever. A new one set up similarly will set you back $140k.

If my situation was different, I might be more serious. But, my boating days are numbered with kids playing soccer, 4H, karate, visiting grandparents, etc., to justify it. Just thinking out loud.

MMMM she's got an ETEC

 

[MouseTrap]

I like smaller ETECs (70-90hp), but wonder how much $40/gal oil the larger ones consume?

 

[BOSBoatMan]

It's $43/gallon w/ the case discount...

I am willing to bet around the same ratio as the smaller ones...about 70-1. But obviously if ye suckin' down ten gallons an hour at cruise, well, that'll change your oil burn ratio some.

Seen a few Rosborough RF-246 nicely finished.
Fisheries and oceans use em in Nova Scotia as work boats. They are great sea boats.
