2012 Pioneer 197 Venture

This 2012 Pioneer 197 Venture is a dual-console sportfisher built on a solid fiberglass hull, measuring just under 20 feet. The design balances family cruising comfort with fishing capability, making it well-suited for inshore waters, the Intracoastal Waterway, and shallow-water exploration.

The boat features a walkthrough windshield separating dual consoles and offers generous seating throughout with cushioned areas fore and aft. Storage is distributed across the hull, and the layout accommodates up to eight passengers. A Bimini top and full boat cover protect against sun and weather. Fishing-focused equipment includes a livewell, rod holders, and a Garmin GPS/fish finder paired with a VHF radio for communication. Additional systems comprise a Ritchie compass, Lenco trim tabs, navigation lights, bilge pump, and swim ladder.

Power comes from a single 140-horsepower Suzuki 4-stroke engine with 450 hours of operation. The 70-gallon fuel tank supports extended outings. Entertainment includes a Sony stereo system with four speakers. The boat has been regularly maintained with fresh water flushes after each use and marina service records on file.
