Adria Event 750 7.5M Diesel Cruiser
A European-built 7.5 m diesel cruiser with a shaft drive is a rare find in Australia, and this one has just 190 hours on its Volvo Penta turbo diesel.
The hours are documented. The boat spent years out of commission as part of a deceased estate, was recommissioned in 2020, and was independently surveyed that year at 62 engine hours. The surveyor found her structurally sound with all equipment in good condition, and the full seven-page report is available to buyers.
Enclosed wheelhouse with lockable sliding glass doors to the cockpit. Deep, safe cockpit with fold-down bench seats. Transom door, swim platform and boarding ladder.
She has since been lightly but regularly used on the Broadwater and southern Moreton Bay, and I have had her serviced and antifouled every 16-18 months since I bought her. She is the most economical & reliable boat I have owned, with extremely low running costs.
Antifouled in October 2026, kept on my private dock at Runaway Bay, and ready for summer.
