Demo 2013 16.5′ Melonseed

, ,

Here’s an opportunity to take home a Melonseed rowboat located in our Gig Harbor shop.

The 16.5′ Melonseed is a versatile, beautifully designed boat ready to row or motor. It features a fine bow and stern, elevated ends to drive over chop, and a stunningly graceful sheerline. It has a flat bottom (called a box keel) which furnishes tremendous tracking ability. On the box keel, she sits flat and secure on a dock or beach instead of leaning on to one side like a fin keel boat such as a Whitehall. The length of 16’5″ and the substantial beam of 64″ allows the use of long sweeps without the need for custom outriggers.

This is our demo Melonseed built with woodsheer, stainless steel keel rub strip, port and starboard dry storage hatches, and a boat cover.

This 2014 Melonseed includes the following options:

  • White Exterior Hull
  • Grey Interior Color
  • Dry Storage Hatches: Port & Starboard
  • Wood Sheer
  • Stainless Steel Keel Rub Strip
  • Canvas cover

Additional Options Available:

  • Forward Facing Rowing System: $995 hardware only or $1875 with oars
  • Cove Stripe
  • 9′ Spoon Blade Oars
  • Motor Mount
  • Ep Carry Motor
  • Carnai Trailer
  • Hinged Tongue

This boat is a great value – the seller is offering the entire package for only:

$15,500!

This is a well-equipped Melonseed with plenty of adventures ahead! Since new builds have lead times, this is a great opportunity to get on the water now. A similarly outfitted new Melonseed would likely cost over $17k—making this a fantastic value for a timeless, highly capable boat.

Our inspection reports that everything is in good condition with the exception of cosmetic wear and tear. This boat is available now at our shop in Gig Harbor, so it is a wonderful opportunity to get your hands on a great Melonseed at a bargain price. Give us a call for more details.
