Nichols Bros Custom Timber Cruiser


"Westray" is very much an iconic Moreton Bay vessel, prior to her current owner she was owned by the doyen of recreational fishing in the bay for many years and has probably had more whiting and mackeral over her decks than the combined efforts of most other boats. Her plotter still holds a lot of his waypoints. She has lovely Canadian Maple interior joinery, good refrigeration an a reliable Perkins 4236 engine, Her sheltered back deck is ideal for lounging around watching the sun go down or seeing if you can catch a feed.
We don't think with her history she will be on the market for long so don't delay to book an inspection, give us a call on to arrange a time.
