2010 AB Inflatable Nautilis 15 DLX
Apple Valley, CA 92307
This is a brand-new 2010 boat that has very few hours on it. I bought this same model boat in 2006. I had lots of great adventures with it (see pictures below), but in 2009 it developed an unrepariable problem which the factory accepted and they replaced the boat. All my existing equipment was transferred to the new boat (see list of included eqpt below). But since it took a little while for the new boat to be ready (nobody keeps an inventory any more, it's all build on demand), I had some time to reflect. For the last 25 years, this has been my style boat, and I have loved it absolutely. But I started thinking I want to move to a bigger boat, so here I am.
List of Included Equipment:
2006 Evinrude Etec 75 HP engine. This is a phenomenal engine, best I have ever had.
VHF console radio with controls in the microphone.
Starboard side console steering, with tachometer, analog compass, trim guage, fuel level indicator, and speedometer.
Accessory outlet.
Master kill switch on front panel.
12-gal freshwater tank.
27-gal fuel tank.
Blue canvas bimini and frame.
Blue canvas boat cover.
Blue canvas engine cover.
Stainless steel prop.
Aluminum factory-issue prop.
Anchor, 12 feet of chain, 300 feet of line.
Flagstaff mount.
Lifting rings and towing rings (yes, you can pull a skier).
EZ-Loader trailer w/new rollers and spare tire.
There's more. To see the boat and all the included options as it comes from the factory, go visit http://abinflatables.com, click on "Models", click on "Nautilus", click on "15 DLX".
The pictures below are of the 2006 boat that was replaced. The new boat will do everything the old boat did. It is a great boat, comfortable, roomy for lots of camping gear, bottomless (so it seems) storage, top speed is about 42 mph, with good conditions, you can get 6-10 mpg. It has been to Lake Mojave, some of the inland lakes, San Diego Bay, Catalina (even around back to Little Harbor). This boat will not capsize. See one of the pictures below, with five guys all on the same side of the boat. It will not flip and it will not sink. It is a regular V-hull fiberglass hull with air tubes all around. If you punch a hole in the hull, it will still float. If a swordfish jabs a tube, it will still float. You can fill the boat full of water until it's pouring over thre transom and it will not sink. This is the most reliable boat you could ever own. Fishing on this boat (sharp hooks) is no problem as the hooks can't get a bite on the big tubes. Knives and ice-picks are a maybe, I would be careful. As it sits, the boat-engine-trailer package is about 1100 pounds, so practically anything can tow it. 2-inch ball.
For questions or to see the boat, call Bill at (760) 221-3377 or send email to Webmaster@ArrowheadSPS.org. Be warned, this style of boat is expensive. But the simplicity and reliability is worth it. This is the boat that runs back to the marina to pick up repair parts for the big boats that have broken down. The price new for this boat as configured, with trailer and canvas, is about $32,000 or more. I'm asking $24,000, it is ready to launch and wanting to run.
