A rugged and highly capable American-built centre console, powered by a Suzuki DF140 four-stroke and supplied on an Indespension tandem-axle trailer.
The Striper 1851 is a proper fishing boat, built around a deep-V hull with a 20-degree transom deadrise, giving it a solid and confidence-inspiring ride in a wide range of conditions.
At 18ft 6in (5.64m) with a 7ft 6in beam, the 1851 offers an excellent amount of usable deck space, with full walkaround access around the centre console and a practical, uncluttered layout designed with fishing firmly in mind.
This example dates from approximately 2002 and is powered by a Suzuki DF140 four-stroke, believed to date from around 2004–2006. The engine has covered approximately 1,000 hours, around 750 of which have been completed by the current owner. During that ownership it has performed faultlessly and has been serviced at approximately 100-hour intervals. It has also recently received a full service and is ready to use.
The boat is well equipped for both serious fishing and general family use, with generous storage, insulated fish lockers, an aerated livebait well, multiple rod holders, raw-water washdown and a large open casting deck.
A Bimini top provides useful shade and shelter when required.
Electronics include a Lowrance chartplotter/fishfinder and Icom VHF.
