One of two sister boats built by Doug Smith at Northwest Aluminum Craft in Victoria, Reel Intent is a welded-aluminum 26 pilothouse repowered in 2020 with a Suzuki DF350 and kept on a continuous annual service schedule since 2013.
This is a serious West Coast fishing and cruising platform for someone who wants to run Sooke, the Strait, and the open water off the south end of the Island without thinking twice about conditions. The modified-V hull with hard chines and lifting strakes handles chop the way only a purpose-built aluminum boat can, and the 500-litre fuel tank gives her range well beyond most boats her size. Two full helm stations mean you can run her from the warm, dry pilothouse or work fish from the aft cockpit. With twin Lowrance HDS-12 displays, B&G radar, NAC-1 autopilot, and three Scotty electric downriggers, she is rigged and ready to fish the day you take delivery.
Key specifications:
Single 2020 Suzuki DF350 (350 HP duo-prop), 150 hours
2015 Mercury ProKicker 15 HP on dedicated transom mount
500 L / 132 US gal fuel capacity
Twin Lowrance HDS-12 GPS / chartplotter / sounder / radar, B&G radar, NAC-1 autopilot
Webasto diesel cabin heater, Shockwave helm seat, Samlex 2000W inverter
Three Scotty High Performance electric downriggers
Road Runner aluminum tandem-axle trailer, fully refurbished Aug 2023
What sets her apart is the investment record. The main and kicker are both modern, the full electronics suite was rewired and installed by Glen Varney, the AdvanTec window package was replaced in 2017, and the trailer was rebuilt in 2023. The boat has been maintained continuously by Sooke Marine Centre with full invoice records on file, so the next owner steps into a boat with very little deferred work ahead of them.
Available for viewing in Sooke, British Columbia. Contact Alexander to arrange a showing or for more information.
