I bought a 24ft sea pro with a gen 1 verado that needed work. The main thing I was looking for, coming from a gator tail, was longevity. I can do the work to make it what I want as long as it was close to meeting my needs.

I looked for an all composite hull and a <500 hours on a popular, reliable motor.

I've done a lot of work to it and will be taking it offshore in the next couple of weeks as well as dragging it all the way to orange beach for a week.

There’s a 23’ 2011 Blackjack for sale by owner in the Pass. I think they’re asking 45 for it. It’s on boat trader. There’s a purple Blazer Bay with yellow accents at The Boat Yard.

Would sell my Kenner if Bill would make a 24’ frontier but he has a back log of 256 for north of $100,000.


Kenner needs to make the 256 version of the Frontier.

OP - I'd look for old Kenner 24. Same and original hull that Blazer Bay copied for their 24. Great all round boat!

Oh I don't disagree... Just saying I'd like to see one!

Or take the hull of the old Kenner 23 and stretch it to 26. That'd be the boat I would want.

my cousin did that on his 23. Closed it in, added hatches, etc., portabracket.
It was a game changer.

Yes, not sure the year they went all composite. Buddy motor fell off his transom in vermilion bay ten years ago. Decks were balsa cored and they were termite sanctuaries.

I think Champion went no wood in 2004. But it was years ago I looked into that so I might be off

If it's still there, and you can talk them down $5k, this is your winner

Scratch it, after further questions the motor is shot(knock). And I found out who original owner is/was and it’s been rode hard.
$20K might be a descent offer for hull/trailer but I don’t value coastlines very much.

Look at the ZCB Freemason but don’t ask price
Made in Pascagoula I think, $175,000 starting price with twin 300’s.

Ive been hanging out around perdido pass all week. Lots of very cool, very expensive boats running around here.

Im pretty sure these people have 39 yellowfins for booze cruising
