Mews Converted Cray Boat


Purchased in 2012 taken back to bare wood with repairs by Steve Ward Boat Builder and Painting by Exclusive in 2 pack. Ply over jarrah frame in good condition. Solid vessel strongly buily for Abrohlos fishing and designed to nudge reef without dmage - converted to a pleasure craft by prior owner. Boat was a partnership (2 engineers with families) kids are older so time to move on. Majority of boat/systems have been re-worked. Hull was professionally glassed at last haul out May 25 with hull repaint (over glass) with new antifoul - photo's of sequence included. 20 knots WOT but around 16/17 sensible cruise and will do 13-14 knots comfortably in heavy seas outperforming most boats without a keel. Safe and Seaworthy craft. Fully enclosed prop with steel protected keel/rudder - 1000 l diesel tanks using 40-50 l/hr at cruise gives long range.

Boat name is Kailani which means 'Heavens and Oceans' in Polynesian. Very solid vessel capable of extended offshore passaging. Large amount of money spent over the years with everything done properly such that the boat is 'ready to go' and as good a rotto boat as you will find. Being able to use 12 m moorings is a huge advantage plus safely access all the hard to get at spots. Full survey May 2025 by Weaver Marine availabe on request. New boat coming so need to move her on.
