A 2023 Warrior V238, a fiberglass deep-V built for big freshwater — composite construction, no wood to rot. This one runs a Mercury 400 Verado SuperCharged with approximately 131 hours (seller supplied) and is rigged as a Great Lakes trolling boat. It sits at Oswego Marina on Lake Ontario and comes with its dual-axle Warrior trailer.
Freshwater use only. The fishing setup is already in place: a Garmin Kraken bow trolling motor with foot pedal, five Garmin displays (two at the helm, two at the bow, one at the stern), two Garmin Panoptix LiveScope units, an LVS34 and an LVS62 XR, Scotty Electric Downriggers on both gunwales, a Fish Hawk speed and temperature probe, an iTroll controller, and a Mercury ProKicker for slow presentations.
Why This Boat
Warrior builds the V238 as a fiberglass deep-V with a 27.5-inch inside depth and a hull rated to 450 HP. The composite hull has no wood to rot, and the deep-V and freeboard keep the cockpit dry when the wind comes up on a lake like Ontario. Warrior lists the V238 at 22'11" with a 101-inch beam.
The Mercury 400 Verado SuperCharged is about the largest engine owners put on this hull, and at roughly 131 hours it is barely broken in for a 2023. The kicker, twin downriggers, dual-side rod storage, and the five-display Garmin package with two LiveScope units are the rigging a salmon, trout, or walleye troller would add anyway, and it is already installed and wired.
For a buyer who wants a big-water trolling boat without building one up over two seasons, most of that work is done.
Condition & Next Steps
Freshwater use on Lake Ontario, approximately 131 hours (seller supplied) on the Mercury 400 Verado. The boat sits at Oswego Marina through mid-September. Serious buyers should plan on a standard pre-purchase walkthrough and sea trial. If you want help evaluating the boat, our boat buyer service covers it, and we can handle title and registration once a deal is in hand.
