I do not have any curtains for the boat. I am the owner and just registered on the site. Feel free to ask anymore questions or give me a call to discuss. Thanks.

That is a steal for that boat if in good condition. Some clown was trying to sell that same boat out here in the West Coast with a 250hp for $36K for the longest time. Please raise your price, you're hurting the value of my 1998 21ft conquest, lol!

Thanks for the kind words. I feel like I have priced it fair, hoping for a quick sale. The motor is strong with low hours, replaced the fabric on the bolsters this year, the electronics are all new with the exception of the CD player and everything is in working order with a couple exceptions. The windshied wiper does not work (never needed it so didnt get it fixed) and the holding tank for the freshwater shower has a leak. Did not fix because I did not have a use for it. Also, the trailer is in good condition but needs a new set of tires.
The boat is located on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Come take a look, the price is negotiable.

Price reduced to $22,500/OBO. This is a great striper fishing boat! Please call 757-710-8094 before 9:30 pm.

I had the motor hooked up to the computer at the mechanic to verify the hours. Only 135 hours as of 10/16/12! Also, I forgot to mention that the lower unit was replaced in 2011. When I bought the boat, it had a bad seal so I replaced with a new lower unit (over $2,000).
Somebody is going to get a good deal.

I have a new in box, OEM "Helm Station Cover" that would fit this Conquest. For those interested in purchasing this boat but looking for a little more canvas...
