Comments from the seller
Now's your chance to own a sturdy, roomy, well built cruiser for family fun for under $60K!
*An easy to manage mono displacement 8knot cruiser with new Holland Marine bow and stern thrusters.
*Slipped in June/July 24 with many additional works including new Muir anchor winch and 3000W inverter.
*Built to survey as an ex-commercial trawler in S. A. Around 1980.
*Converted to current configuration in 2006 at Williamstown Vic. It maintained the great structural integrity of the original design as a commercial vessel to become this excellent pleasure craft well capable of handling all but the worst conditions and still come home safely. Has never skipped a beat.
Diagonal planked, hard wood frame with a jarrah keel. Fibre glassed from the waterline finished in 2 pack paint.
*Very well maintained by current owner since 2008 by the same shipwright with all record of works available.

Spacious interior with large V berth bed, shower, toilet and storage, kitchen with full size Wacco fridge, gas cook top and microwave, large newly upholstered seating arca, TV/stereo, re-varnished parquetry floor, under cover rear deck area, new Magma BBQ, deck shower and swim platform, 250w solar panel.
*We've had a lot of family fun in the Bay and up the rivers and it would be a great Lakes boat but it's time for this classic beauty to move to a new owner to enjoy.
