Looking at 1984 26' Penn Yan IB w/270 crusader, NOT tunnell drive, 1500hrs. 2nd owner. I believe it is an open fisherman, canvas top, 10ft beam. Looks good out and under the decks. Owner claims always shrink wrapped in winter, but no mooring cover. We need dependable, efficient transportation for the family in all weather in Lake Erie to get back and forth from island home to mainland @40 miles roundtrip May thru Oct. Wife and kids couldn't handle the 23' Sea Ox walk around center console, too wet and wild when the lake whips up! Any fishing for me is icing on the cake. Never owned IB, learned ups and downs of OB and IO. Any advice welcome, older gentleman selling is asking $6k, I'm thinking more like 3-4K. Compare this to '82 Sportcraft fisherman 27' IB hardtop one owner and new stringers, bulkheads, engine just overhauled w/1300 hrs. broker asking $14,900. If I could get it at 10k I would prefer hardtop, but like the price on the PY. What say ye?
