If you’re a hardcore angler, your motto is likely along the lines of “Springtime is fishing time.” Speaking to that theme, we’ve assembled three great fishing boat deals we found while browsing Boat Trader’s listings. At the time of this writing, all of them are available at a significant savings over their brand-new counterparts And that means more cash for fishing tackle.
Albemarle 330 Express Fisherman
If you were to have searched for a brand-new Albemarle 330 Express Fisherman in 2007, you’d have found a starting price of around $330,000. While that may seem like a lot of dough for a 33-foot express fishing boat, Albemarles are built and equipped for serious offshore work in the rough-and-tumble Atlantic Ocean waters off the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Today models of that vintage are, of course, significantly less expensive while more recent models can go for a whole lot more.
There’s a ton of goodies aboard, too — these boats commonly have a diesel generator, air-conditioning, well-equipped galley, enclosed head, comfy belowdecks accommodations for overnighters, a full suite of electronics, and a beautifully crafted tuna tower overhead. If you’re dreaming of trips to the canyons this year for billfish, tuna, or deep-drop species such as tilefish, this machine should be on your short list.

Everglades 295cc
There’s no doubt among serious anglers that Everglades builds some of the finest, most luxurious, and durable fishing craft on the water. Designed by the legendary Bob Dougherty of Boston Whaler fame and assembled with precision, Everglades boats are purpose-built to get you to the big ones in comfort, safety, and style. It’s for these reasons that listings for late-model Everglades 295cc’s caught our attention.
Tipped with twin 300-horsepower Yamaha F300 four-stroke outboards, the 295cc has a sporty top-end of around 55 mph with an efficient cruise of around 25 mph. In addition to the long list of standard equipment, this boat often comes with a full complement of Garmin electronics like twin 5212 touch screens, radar, fish sounder, autopilot, VHF, and even satellite radio. The whole package is ready to be go anywhere the fish are biting.

Parker 2100 Special Edition
View this listing on Boat Trader
Parker has a special knack for building no-nonsense, high-quality fishing boats with a utilitarian flair. Instead of lots of glossy gelcoat inside and out and cushy seating arrangements that hardcore anglers seldom use, Parkers are built with more of a hose-off-and-go mentality. And that no-muss, no-fuss attitude has appeal among lots of fishermen.
On most models power is provided by a 150-horsepower Yamaha F150 four-stroke outboard. This is a nice powerplant setup for this boat, as it’s both speedy and efficient. Expect a top end around 43 mph with an efficient cruise in the mid 20s. A 94-gallon fuel tank provides plenty of range for full-day fishing sorties.
Despite the utilitarian theme, this Parker has plenty of comfort features baked in. One you don’t find in a lot of boats of this size and type is an enclosed head with porta-potty under the center console. Additional comfort can be found in optional forward and aft casting deck cushions, an upholstered bench seat just ahead of the console, and a leaning post setup behind the helm.
