In need of fishing boat


Am looking for a Center Console boat between 16' to 20' range in the Mulege/Santa Rosalia area for sale at a good price. Planning on leaving it in the area. My existing 18' Bayrunnner is in need of hull repair and then some!. I'm chasing corrosion all over the hull. Don't want to drag it back to San Diego for repair. I've got my money's worth from the ol' 85 so am looking for a boat to use for at least the next 6 years before I retire and bring down my new boat. My casa in Punta Chivato is where I leave the boat. Am thier only 5 weeks in a year. Standing on the beach with fishing gear and my thumb out, doesn't seam to work. Might even think about hiring a local pangero too! Any suggestions???......thx

Put out a call on the Mulege vhf radio net every morning at 8 or 9, I forget which. Channel 22. When we were last there, we listened every morning and it was very helpful for many things...I should think 'hitching a ride' and sharing some gas money would enhance your chances.

Lots of boats and motors were advertised on Saul's Grocery windows and also at the local laundromat. You might check Mulegeonline.com and Bajaquest.com and other sites on the Internet also.

There is an exceptionally nice gringo owned panga for sale here in Loreto. 21 foot, 115 horse honda four stroke with less than 100 hours on it. Radio, depth finder, new trailer. $12,000. I may be off a horse or two on the motor and the owner is out at the moment. If interested let me know and I will get the exact specs.

backninedan's post just reminded me of another by a Nomad, capt george, I believe? He lives at Abrejos, but is maybe moving to Pta. Chivato for a spell.

You might do a 'search' here for his info.

I think his 19' center console is a Dusky with a Yamaha 4-stroke, trailer, etc.

I will get some pics and more info on electronics, etc and post it tomorrow. I was incorrect on the motor brand, it is a Johnson and the hours are under 60 for boat and motor. It is a center console also.

Uh-oh, that's a deal killer for me. but thanks for your efforts, Dan. I dont think Johnson makes a 4 stroke over 30 hp, so it is likely a 2 stroker.

I found this link to Capt. George's Dusky for sale...I don't know if it still available or not. A nice boat for the Cortez, though. Hope it helps in your search.

Punta Chivato hotel boat....circa 1979


This is not about a boat for sale, but I could not resist posting this tidbit of information on the Hotel Punta Chivato boats.

We happened to travel to this remote paradise in 1979, where we met the then-owner of the Punta Chivato hotel. We were invited to go in his boat for a great day of tuna fishing. Although not fishing ourselves, the hotel owner, a Mr. Bill Alvarado, caught quite a few. Sr. Alvarado is the person on the left in this photo. I believe the hotel has new owners today.

...WOW!!, Summanus, does that bring back memories!!! You're right, that's Bill on the left. Can't remember the name of the cruiser on the right...the photo's taken in my boat before it got a complete refit and facelift. The yellowfin were thick under the porpoise just a few miles off the islands at Chivato...we were done fishing by 8 or 9 AM...All there was at Chivato was the hotel, which was not open, and the Casa Grande, where Bill stayed, and a good number of parties were held...
