Cruisecraft 17'6'' (5.4M) Reef Raider Fishing Boat

 CrusieCraft Reef Raider famous hull design, 89 Model I believe. 100HP merc Outboard that runs extremely well and had been serviced most years of its life at Boronia Marine. Boat originally set up for outside fishing at Bermagui and has Rocket Launchers, Big Bait prep board with extra holders, Sounder/Finder, Outriggers to trail /Troll baits etc.
Has burley bucket off the stern, a stainless boarding ladder for easy entry from the water. I have fitted a brand new (1 Hr running)  Suzuki Long shaft auxiliary motor ($2500) with its own fuel tank for security in the bay, especially if kids aboard. (Useful for trolling as well). Main cover and Bimini very serviceable but showing age. Boat could do with a paint depending on what use it will be put to. As a fishing boat its fine.
Trailer is a serviceable tandem with new wheel bearings,brakes and bearing buddies,  galvanised replacement wheels with light truck tyres. An electric winch is fitted and original hand winch is still available if wanted. Roller type drive on. Tows well.The whole rig (Boat and Trailer) is registered until Nov 2010. Boat has Alloy 80 litre tank, twin batteries and switch, 2 underfloor kill tanks, Nav lighting (main LED  type), electric bilge pump and internal boat deck lights and cabon light. Main switch/fuseboard board replaced last year. 1bay anchor fitted with rope and chain. Would suit a handy person best as in all boats this age some work can always be done.
Reason for sale is that I have to clear space for another car and I do not use boat enough to warrant keeping it. All life equipment comes with it including adult life jackets, extinguisher, Flares (I think) are in date. Does not require life jackets to be worn at all times as its over the limit . Would pull skiers easily. Flat out it hits about 70kmh.
