Well-Equipped Alaska Sportfisher Ready to Work — 2006 Skagit Orca 27, Ketchikan AK
A proven Pacific Northwest fishing platform with serious recent upgrades, this 2006 Skagit Orca 27 (29' tip-to-tip) is offered by its private owner at $60,000 firm — triple-axle trailer included. Located in Ketchikan, Alaska, and available for barge shipping to the lower 48 or other Alaska ports via AML or Samson.
The boat has been meticulously maintained: Salt Away flushed after every outing, Yamaha dealer-serviced, and freshly prepped for new bottom paint. Two bench seats, a full V-berth, and a complete bathroom make this a capable overnight or multi-day fishing vessel.
KEY FEATURES:
- 2020 Yamaha 300hp Outboard — Brand new from Bayco dealer, currently only 1,155 hours. Yamaha four-stroke outboards are renowned for reliability, fuel efficiency, and long service life, making this recent repower one of the most compelling aspects of this listing. A buyer gets a 2006 hull with essentially a modern engine.
-
- 2,000 lb In-Floor Fish Box. A massive insulated floor fish box is a hallmark of serious Alaska sportfishers — it keeps large catches of salmon, halibut, or lingcod properly chilled without consuming cockpit space, and the capacity here is exceptional for a 27-foot platform.
-
- Four Electric Scotty Downriggers. A full spread of four electric Scotty downriggers means this boat is ready to fish the moment it leaves the dock. Electric downriggers eliminate manual cranking fatigue on long days and allow precise depth control — a significant advantage when targeting Chinook salmon or halibut in deep Alaskan waters.
