Description

2025 Hell’s Bay Marathon | Yamaha F70 | 38 Hours | Warranty to 2030
$89,900 | Dunedin, Florida

Offered by The Skiff Broker / Florida Native Boat Sales is this exceptionally clean, original-owner 2025 Hell’s Bay Marathon, finished in beautiful factory Pearl White and powered by a Pearl White Yamaha F70 with just 38 hours.

This Marathon presents very close to new and was thoughtfully factory-optioned for an angler looking for the open-water capability the Marathon is known for without sacrificing the simplicity, fishability and shallow-water performance expected from a Hell’s Bay.

The current owner purchased the boat new and is simply changing boating styles and moving toward a larger center console. The boat is now located in Dunedin, Florida and is available for inspection by appointment.

A major bonus for the next owner is the remaining Yamaha coverage. Yamaha factory warranty is confirmed through July 21, 2028, followed by Yamaha Y.E.S. extended coverage through July 22, 2030.

At the bow is a white Power-Pole MOVE trolling motor mounted on a Power-Pole quick-release system.

The trolling motor operates from a dedicated 24V system utilizing two Dakota Lithium 12V 54Ah LiFePO4 batteries wired in series.

Charging is handled by a NOCO Genius GENPRO 10×3 three-bank smart charger, allowing the trolling-motor batteries and starting battery to be maintained from one system.

The trolling-motor power connection is conveniently located on the forward bulkhead.

FORWARD CASTING DECK

The Marathon offers an unusually large forward casting deck for a skiff under 18 feet, with enough room for multiple anglers to comfortably spin fish.

A removable Hell’s Bay elevated casting platform provides an additional sight-fishing position and is finished with Snow Camo SeaDek.

COCKPIT & SEATING

One of this boat’s strengths is how open and configurable the cockpit remains.

35-quart Yeti cooler with custom upgraded silicone upholstered cushion serves as the primary removable helm seat. Remove it entirely when maximum cockpit space is desired.

The front of the console incorporates an upholstered backrest that provides another comfortable seating position.

The all-white interior, Pearl White hull and Cloud-colored upgraded upholstery give the boat a very clean and cohesive appearance.

AFT DECK, LIVEWELL & STORAGE

Three large aft compartments maximize usable deck and storage space.

The port and starboard lockers are deep, finished storage compartments with factory-added drains into the bilge. Hell’s Bay’s unlined locker construction maximizes interior storage volume and minimizes unnecessary weight.

The center compartment is a fully plumbed raw-water livewell with an ice-blue interior for improved bait visibility.

POLING TOWER

The anodized aluminum poling tower is one of the visual highlights of the boat and was extensively optioned from Hell’s Bay.

It includes:

  • Large Snow Camo SeaDek poling platform
  • Fold-down forward step/backrest
  • Anodized removable sissy/lean bar
  • Port-side bucket hoop sized for a 5-gallon/Yeti-style bucket
  • Tibor push-pole holder
  • Additional factory step incorporated with the jack-plate configuration

The fold-down upholstered backrest provides comfortable support for both the helmsman and passenger while underway and folds away when not needed.

TRAILER

The boat sits on its custom Ram-Lin aluminum trailer, specifically built for the boat and included in the sale.

Trailer equipment includes:

  • Aluminum construction
  • Stainless-steel axle
  • Swing-away tongue for easier garage storage
  • Aluminum wheels
  • Guide hardware and bunks configured for the Marathon
  • Matching factory package

Additional Features

POWER & PERFORMANCE

Power comes from a Pearl White Yamaha F70 four-stroke showing only 37.6 hours through the Simrad/Yamaha NMEA network.

The F70 is mounted on a Bob’s Action Series 6″ hydraulic jack plate and paired with a PowerTech three-blade 16-pitch prop. Jack-plate control is conveniently located on a blinker-style switch at the helm.

The hull is also equipped with Electrotab trim tabs utilizing Hell’s Bay’s custom tab configuration designed to maintain clean shallow-water clearance.

The Marathon is Hell’s Bay’s open-water-oriented technical skiff, combining its sharp forward entry and prominent integrated spray rails with a 12-degree deadrise and broad aft running surface. The result is a remarkably capable platform for crossing open bays and dealing with afternoon chop while retaining true technical-skiff fishability.

Features include:

  • Simrad NSS9 evo3S 9″ multifunction display
