2000 Skagit Orca 27 XLC Boat in Port Alberni, BC CA

The 2000 Skagit Orca 27 XLC is widely regarded as one of the most capable small pilothouse boats on the coast, built for serious boaters who demand reliability, safety, and all-weather performance. Designed with a deep-V hull and solid fiberglass construction, these boats are known for their ability to handle rough conditions while delivering a smooth, stable ride. This particular vessel stands out with a significant upgrade-repowered with a 2013 Volvo Penta D4-260 diesel. This modern common-rail diesel provides excellent fuel efficiency, strong torque, and dependable cruising performance, making it an ideal setup for extended coastal runs or offshore fishing. The 27 XLC layout offers a true extended cabin configuration, giving you the comfort of a larger vessel in a manageable, trailerable platform. Inside, you'll find a practical pilothouse with excellent visibility, a convertible dinette, galley, and enclosed head with shower-making this a capable cruiser for multi-day trips. This boat is well-equipped for both cruising and fishing. The cockpit is spacious and functional, and the addition of dual flexible solar panels allows for extended time off-grid. A Walker Bay dinghy is included for added versatility at anchor, and the 2016 high-thrust kicker provides redundancy and precision trolling capability. Included with the vessel is a 1999 EZ Loader trailer, making transport, storage, and seasonal hauling straightforward and cost-effective. Skagit Orcas are known as "heavy weather boats" for a reason-they're built to get you there and back safely, even when conditions are less than ideal. This is a serious, no-nonsense vessel with the upgrades and equipment to match.
