Botterill 41 Raised Deck Flybridge Cruiser Ex Navy work boat


So Long is a well-built and impressively capable 12.6m coastal cruiser, originally constructed by Phoenix Shipbuilders in Tasmania and later thoughtfully redesigned during the late 1990s to deliver the comfort and practicality expected of a modern pleasure boat. Her raised foredeck, large covered side and rear decks, and generous flybridge provide excellent usability for extended cruising or entertaining.
Powered by a reliable and economical GM Detroit 6.71 diesel, So Long offers relaxed displacement cruising with simple, predictable handling, assisted by hydraulic steering and a bow thruster. The single-level saloon and helm, modern electronics, two bathrooms, and accommodation for up to six (including a forward master cabin with ensuite) ensure she is well suited to family cruising or liveaboard use.
Recently slipped, sandblasted, primed and antifouled in September 2025, and accompanied by service history documentation, So Long presents as a solid, practical cruiser ready for your next adventure.
