dainichi Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 I am currently looking for second hand Warrior 165 package (Boat/ Engine/ Trailer) possibly about 2002 to 2006/7. I am watching Boats & Outboards and E-bay but if anyone hear's of one for sale locally then please e-mail me at - alanjeffries@talktalk.net Thanks Alan (Dainichi) P.s. Would be grateful for any advice etc on the 165. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hi Alan Fantastic choice of boat, what sort of budget? I'd recommend 70hp as it won't be working hard and will be very economical. If you want a look at mine or see how it goes and handles let me know. dainichi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dainichi Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hi Brian, thanks for the input hopefully up to about £7000 maybe a bit more for the right boat. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Ensure you go out on one, they are BiG! I think many are surprised how big compared to other 15 / 16 ft boats. Good luck with your search! Rob dainichi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun j. Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Big enough to require a braked trailer...and that brings extra looking after....if you trail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coddy Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hi Alan Have a look on my website www.fishing-boats.info as I have a number of reports from owners. I started the site after owning a 165, wish I still had her Dave dainichi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Fantastic boat @ 16½ feet. Yes you need a braked trailer but if you have one with a flushing system for the brakes it's not a problem. I sold mine because I'm old and fat and with my dodgy knees, it was a bit too heavy for me to push around on the trailer. As Brian said, you need a decent engine. Don't let anyone tell you a 50 is big enough - - - it's not. You need a 70 to 80 so you can cruise without working the engine. They must be the most poular boat of their size in this country and with good reason. Oh yes - - - and Warrior aftersales and help are first class.

Jim Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 I went to Holyhead to pick up Tiddler. We just made a weekend of it and called it a treat for Jacqui It's just miles - - - - - with a decent car, miles are not a problem.

Brian Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Alan Have you seen this? In Blandford, so might be worth a look. Almost the same as a Warrior 165, only a 50hp motor but at the right price, you could trade the motor in for something bigger if required. http://www.pbsbac.co.uk/ipb/topic/15800-explorer-elite-165-for-sale/?do=findComment&comment=122657 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
