Pompei-style Classic Electric Huon Pine Day Boat

A rare opportunity to own a beautifully styled classic electric day boat, combining the timeless character of Huon pine and mahogany with quiet, simple modern propulsion.

Possibly dating from circa 1945 and comprehensively restored, this distinctive 6.00m Pompei-style boat offers elegant lines and relaxed cruising for sheltered waters, harbours, rivers and estuaries. The original builder is unverified; the hull is similar in style, but this is not a Pompei-built vessel. The Huon pine hull is sheathed externally with fibreglass and epoxy resin, while the mahogany decks add warmth and traditional appeal.

Purchased in Melbourne in 2016, the boat was unregistered and had no HIN/serial number or verified builder at the time. Huon pine was confirmed by a Queensland boat builder. After Kevin Dick, a master boat builder in Noosaville, fully restored it, the owners registered it by statutory declaration.

Its Bellmarine 3kW Eco Line 48V electric drive was designed and installed by Eco Boats Australia, delivering smooth, near-silent operation without fuel fumes and with minimal routine maintenance. A 5kWh lithium battery system supports effortless day cruising, with convenient charging from a conventional 240V wall socket.

Highlights include:
- Classic Huon pine construction with mahogany decks
- Fibreglass and epoxy-sheathed hull exterior
- Bellmarine 3kW Eco Line 48V electric drive
- 5kWh lithium battery system comprising 16 x 100Ah cells

With graceful proportions, quiet electric propulsion and an inviting open layout, this is a memorable boat for leisurely day trips and relaxed time on the water.
