Asking Price: $33,500
If you're looking for a clean, upgraded inshore bay boat with serious fishing capability, this 2015 Pioneer 186 Sportfish is an excellent opportunity.
This boat blends the shallow draft fishability of a flats boat with the higher freeboard and comfort of a bay boat, making it a versatile platform for inshore fishing, sandbar cruising, and light nearshore use.
Power comes from a Suzuki DF150 four-stroke outboard with approximately 400 hours (estimated). The owner reports the last engine service was completed October 2024, with roughly 25 hours of use since. An ECM download is planned with a Suzuki technician to confirm exact engine hours.
The package is paired with a 2024 EZ Loader aluminum trailer with swing tongue, making storage and transport easy.
The hull was also professionally compounded and polished in February 2026, improving the finish after the original photo and video shoot, but those updated photos are included in this listing photo set.
