General description:

Launched in 1997 this true world cruiser has a spacious interior and is fitted with a powerful 250hp Turbo Gardner Diesel motor. She will cruise effortlessly at 8-9 knots (at approx 1350 Revs) with a sprint speed of 11knots in right condition. Her high quality interior features white American Oak timbers. The wheelhouse allows all round viewing with guest seating. The large toughened glass windows have storm shutter provision.

 

The well-equipped galley is powered by the 7.5kva gen set and features 4burner gas hobs and oven microwave plus hot and cold pressure water.

 

The accommodation is substantial as detailed below. There is also a Navigators berth/day bed to port in the main hall way. She features ‘Walk around’ decks and wheelhouse side doors plus Walk-thru transom for fishing / diving and ease of boarding.

 

The vessel has new radar, chart plotter and fish finder.

 

We believe this is one of the finest motor yachts of its size available on the NZ market. Her design allows her to cope with a wide range of weather conditions giving outstanding ‘blue water’ performance while providing easy handling. Reluctantly for sale and recently reduced to sell.

 

Specification:
