A great example of a vessel sought after Australiawide for their strength of construction, the materials used and their renowned seaworthiness. Yimbala was built in Triabunna as is well known and highly regarded. It is ready to use either recreationally or commercially as it is in current 3C Survey but not working.
Wherever you look this boat is in excellent condition with lots of late model equipment and a well maintained 6LXB Gardner diesel noted as being the last one fitted in Tasmania by Glasgow Engineering back in the 60's. Inclusions are an 8kva Kubota genset with only 2000 hours, hydraulic anchor winch and pot hauler, 2 plotters, 2 sounders, autopilot, 1 tonne freezer and 2 tonne wet well.
Forward there a 2 berths, a good galley with stove, microwave, new fridge and a wood heater with a dinette table for 4.
"YIMBALA" represents excellent value and an inspection will not disappoint those after a Huon Pine vessel ready to enjoy now.

Remarks
Yimbala is a much admired vessel ready to go now. Eminently suitable for conversion to a pleasure vessel but usable as it is now for a cruising couple who want to explore the Pacific. Highly recommended.
