This is your opportunity to take home a beautiful, gently used 16.5′ Melonseed Expedition Rowboat. The expedition rowboat features the sealed deck that you find on our sailing version, making it suitable for adventures in a wider variety of waters and weather conditions than the open/undecked Melonseed rowboat.
This expedition rowboat is great for exploring lakes and harbors, giving two people room to row on the tandem sliding seats. The box style keel enables the Melonseed to sit flat on the beach, making it easy to get in and out or unload your camping gear after a long day on the water.
This 2020 model is gently used and quite pretty, with a wide burgundy gelcoat stripe and gold detail pinstripe. The boat also includes a trailer with a hinged fold-away tongue for convenient storage, tandem sliding seats and two sets of Concept2 carbon-fiber oars. It’s loaded with all the options you need to make getting out on the water convenient, pleasant, and fun.
Included features:
- Tandem sliding rowing seats
- Dry storage hatches port and starboard
- Burgundy gelcoat with vinyl cove stripe
- Stainless steel keel rub strip
- Removeable seat cushions
- Crab pot puller
- 2 sets of carbon fiber oars
- 2 small-craft fenders with clips
- 4 stainless steel cleats
- Rowing mirror
- Canvas boat cover
- Trailer with fold-away tongue
Condition-wise, the boat is in beautiful shape. Very gently used without any noticeable scuffs or scrapes. Note that this boat cannot be converted to a sailboat, since it lacks the daggerboard and mast step that would be needed to sail.
Offered at $13,499 for a marvelous boat — a brand new Melonseed that’s comparably equipped would cost almost $20,000, so don’t miss the chance to bring home a great deal! Contact us here or at 253-851-2126 and don’t let this one slip away.
