2023 Warrior V238 with Mercury 400 Verado

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, four Garmin displays (two at the helm, one at the bow, one at the stern), 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 four-display Garmin package 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.
