📍 Nanaimo, BC
If you know West Coast boats, you know the legendary reputation of the 23' Double Eagle. Built heavy and designed to handle the demanding conditions of the BC coast, these boats have earned a reputation as one of the toughest, most dependable hulls ever built.
This is not your average 46-year-old boat.
The current owner has cherished this vessel for over 20 years, and it shows in every detail. It has been meticulously maintained, professionally winterized every single season, and cared for far beyond what most boats ever receive. This boat has never been abused—in fact, the owner has never even run it at full throttle, preferring to cruise conservatively and look after the engine rather than push it.
If you're looking for a boat that has been genuinely babied, this is it.
