NauticStar 2302

Purchase History & Description 3/4/25

I found this boat 2 years ago, 2022, sitting on a private dock and on a boat lift with a canvas cover.

When I turned the engine key to check the engine hours I couldn’t believe that it only had 41 hours on the Yamaha meter.  The boat looked brand new.

I had a marine survey (survey available) done and a sea trial and all repairs done [service and repair documents are available].  I purchased the boat.  I then had the boat hauled and bottom painted with 2 coats of Pettit Trinidad SR.  The 200 HP Yamaha engine was given a 100 hour service. 

I then set the boat up for fishing.  I removed the bow cushions and the back hatch cushions and added a 9” Garmin chartplotter with a transom transducer to the existing 7” Garmin chartplotter with an in hull transducer.  Because I did not have shore power at the dock I added a 10 watt solar panel for a trickle charger for the dual batteries.  I then added 2 TACO grand slam outriggers top mounts and put in 2, 15ft. TACO Tele-outrigger poles.  I then added a ZOSI HD 1920 TVL, IR night vision camera that plugs into the 7” Garmin that has a video input.

Last year I only put on 31 hours and in the 2 years I have had the boat only 161 hours total I’ve decided to sell the boat. My age is also a factor. 

On January 29th, 2025 I had the bottom painted with 2 coats of Pettit Trinidad SR bottom paint, and all of the cushions are back on the boat.
