For Sale:
2007 Willie 16’ x 54” Alum. Drift Boat w/ Baker Trailer - $5,500
Pics on Craigslist. I'd post them here but don't know how yet? (I'm a new user here)

I bought this great drift boat new in 2008 and have only had it in the water (3) times TOTAL!
It’s never even had a fish in the box! No bloddy decks...nothin...seriously! Sad...I know...:(

I haven’t had the time to fish the past couple of years, so the boat has sit – virtually brand new since I bought it. Times & life change and I’d rather get it into the hands of a guy (or gal) that’s going to put it to good use – so my loss is your gain. It’s super, super clean with no major dents, nicks or scrapes. There is no rust anywhere on the boat or trailer and it includes a lot of nice extras. This boat is seriously like new! It’s got a clean title and current registration (renewed for trailer on 9.2010, boat is good through 2010). You can have it in the water fishing in style within 1 hour of purchase! It’s ready to go!!!

Someone got an excellent buy!

Smokin' deal right here as well, (on a very clean Willie) if someone is still looking.
It's down to $3750.

Whoah!!!! That is a a crazy good deal with all the goods Direct! Sure you can get a stripped down version with nothing for around 5000$ but yours seems to have everything. The fact you haven't sold it yet must be a testimony to the bad economy or some darn thing!

Nope, not mine just saw it on the other board and put it up because it looked like a bargain for a such sharp-looking Willie.

I've had a loaded '86 Willie (16+4 w/motor well) since new and I would have to get a ton more cash than that to let it go.

Crap, who am I kidding.
My wife will probably sell it on Craigslist for song after I'm gone

The economy has beat up prices big time. I hope the manufacturers can weather this out.
I paid ?4500? I think, for my used 16 x 54 Willie boat almost 5 years ago and it was a decent buy at the time.

That is, indeed, a good buy DD.

Holy crap, this thing is still available.
Genuine Baker galvanized and everything....$1500 right there.

DD,
That drifter should have been sold a long time ago.What a steal.Good luck,

Bad time to be selling, but good time to be buying... It's a little odd this boat didn't sell on the first day, though...

these are good deals in today's market. but willies have gone up a lot in the last few years i bought mine in 07 i believe it was finished just 2 months after willie passed. i got mine from willie direct 16*54. with upgraded oars to dyna light, coat it bottom, rear storage with seat mount. heater ran, baker galv trailer, all the sliding rod holders, front storage ect. for 5,600$ new. now it would cost almost upper 8-9 to build this boat again. not sure why the sudden spike in cost from them......

Bought mine brand new from willie direct in "04" got it set up with the walk thru front seat/level floors etc.Decked out the way I wanted it and it was around $6,000.00 @ that time.Last year I got on there site and went to the drifter section and built the same boat with only 1 maybe 2 extra's from what I had done in "04" it came out to be around $10,000.00.Prices have sky rocketed for a new willie.Glad I have several years left in mine.Good luck,
SZ

Bought mine new in Oct '87 ...$2400 for a loaded/rigged 16+4 w/ motor well and $1200 for a galv Baker

Last time I looked it would take about 13K to to replace hull, trailer, motor, gear.

DD,
As I look at that boat again, and the last one listed, I wish I could buy and hold these suckers. And then sell them at a profit. Metal prices continue to rise, raising new boat prices but not yet trickled down to the used boats, which are still beat up by the great recession.

Or maybe it's that retro baby blue paint that nobody but me likes!

I think that he has a sale pending.
What a deal.

I sent out a post to my fishing buds in OrYGun listing this boat.
I can imagine that the only reasons this boat has not sold is 1) no body knows about it, 2) nobody has any money, or 3) baby blue is not manly enough.
JHC!, I will buy the frakking boat if nobody else does. Has anybody who wants a boat run the numbers? It is less than $1,000 to have it blasted to bare metal, and there is still ~$1500 worth of electric motor and batteries and 2 heaters in a pristine boat.
"Back in the day," Baby Blue was THE manly color. (64-65)
