CruiseCraft Explorer 685

John Crawford Marine offers the maxi trailer boat buyer a rare opportunity to own a beautifully appointed Cruise Craft 685 Explorer powered by a Suzuki 250Hp four stroke that is trailered on a 2020 built, Redco Alloy I Beam trailer.

Unquestionably, Cruise Craft have raised the bar to unpresented levels with their range of locally made Explorer models. This hull (also known as the CC 720 Explorer) is regarded as one of Australia's most respected blue water trailer boats. The attention to detail and the factories fit out are class leading and it's easy to see why these sensational boats demand the price they do - they just work!

This boat has been a local boat with only 2 meticulous owners since purchased new in November 2010. Lovingly maintained, and stored undercover by both owners when not in use. The boat has provided the family numerous trips and memories, notably the stand outs were the township of 1770 and heading to the outer reefs exploring, fishing, snorkelling and overnighting aboard in comfort.

As the photos try and showcase, every nook and cranny has a purpose and reason in its design for either fishing or comfort. Further, the package boasts an armoury of $50,000 in new electronics fitted over the past 12 months including:

o Full rewire with new electronic fit out
o New Garmin 8416xsv MFD flush mounted head unit
o East Coast Australia mapping card
o New 72" Minn Kota RT Instinct Quest bow mount electric
o New BLA 36V 105ah lithium battery
o New BLA 36v DC-DC Charger
o New isolators, wiring and bow plate for the Minn Kota
o New 240v 36v Lithium battery charger
o 2 x New start and house batteries
o New Fusion Hideaway marine stereo
o New Garmin VHF radio with MMSI
o New Garmin MSC10 Marine satellite compass
o New 12v Travel Buddy "pie-warmer"
o New Stedi LED bimini mounted light bar
o Ocean South boat cover
o New Sherpa Grunter marine trailer winch
o New Rokk dash mounted phone charger
o New Garmin GT51-TM transducer
o New Carbon switch panels
o New Carbon dash insert panels

Powered by a Suzuki 250Hp DF250 EFI four stroke that is a perfect power plant for this hull delivering excellent acceleration and fuel economy. The engine has recorded a computer ECU verified 497 hours. Hours are almost a by gone discussion when they are known for 1,000's of hours of trouble-free motoring. The engine spins a stainless steel prop, steering is light with hydraulic steering system fitted and range is assured with a 300l under floor fuel tank.

The family is not forgotten with an array of creature comforts, including a marine toilet, sliding cabin privacy door, large cabin v-berth with the infill, comfortable seating throughout and over sun protection with the extension cockpit slide out awning and a cockpit storm cover. Dual Cruise Craft 110L fiberglass eskies offer plenty of volume for the fish or food and drinks and these neatly stow under the mid ship seating.

The angler in the family will love the cockpit - this is where the Cruise Craft Explorer shines with a beautifully designed and finished area, underfloor fish kill bins, fold up the rear lounge, fill the recirculating live bait tank with livies, spread the lures with the Reelax game trolling poles, get the rods away that aren't being used in the overhead rod storage rack atop the hardtop and keep the area clean with the salt water deck wash and or wash your hand with the concealed tap under the cutting board.......

We all desire and dream about having a dash of quality electronics, and as outlined earlier, you can enjoy using the latest gear from Garmin and Minn Kota. Anchoring is simple as the boat is fitted with a Lewmar Pro Series anchor winch, and to help with lateral trim whilst underway, Lenco trim tabs are fitted.
