WILSON VOYAGER is being sold in conjunction with Seven Star Marine Sales - and comes with a recent Barry Colson survey stating its condition as EXCELLENT!!!

We could almost stop there, except there is so much good work here and so many improvements made in the conversion that we would be selling this boat short if you weren't offered a full appreciation of just how much VALUE for money this vessel has to offer. EXCELLENT indeed!!!

57 ft x 18 ft 6 x 6 ft draft.
Displacement circa 58 ton fully laden.
Originally built to survey (not in survey now). It is built to trading boat scantlings.
Full walk around and shade.
NO laid decks. All deck areas are heavily fibre-glassed and recently repainted.
WILSON VOYAGER has been splined from new, making it a tight, fair and dry hull. (Much less maintenance).
DS9 Scania main engine 3000 hours since full rebuild.
Both main engine and genset keel cooled and dry stack.
Deep reduction Twin disc @ 4.34 to 1 reduction ratio.
42 inch 4 blade prop (recently re tuned by R & L Marine Engineers Brisbane).
12 hp hydraulic bow thruster with 10 inch tunnel.
14 KVA Sea Wasp genset showing 10 hours since recent install.
5000 watt Victron inverter plus full battery monitoring.
Vessel completely and professionally rewired with everything labelled.
Vessel completely re plumbed.
Commercial style hydraulic anchor winch (by Muir) with 150 metres of 16 mil short link chain.
Hydraulic deck crane (4 years old) supplied by ATS.
Electronics upgrade.
New leather upholstery.
Engine driven bilge system to survey (all upgraded).
Fuel tanks opened and inspected by diesel professional.
Professional shipwright timber fit out in Queensland Maple.
Vessel is rigged with steadying / or get-home sails.

This is no ordinary vessel. It is designed and built by one of Tasmania's best. Planked in Celery top pine and presented in clean ready-to-go to sea condition.
This vessel is graceful, yet still masculine and bold. It is eye catching - AND as capable as it looks.
Take a look at the accompanying video that shows virtually no wake at 8 knots. Well done Mr Wilson!!

If you were to undertake the full restoration of a Tasmanian cray boat, then a $ million would only get you part of the way through it. You can have this one for $595,000.00!!

Is there a professional mariner - or maybe two sea going mates who have one more long range adventure left in them?

The sale will include a full and cooperative hand over. And this will be needed to fully appreciate the scope of the works carried out, and the detailed operations of the vessel. You will recognise at a glance what true value is being offered here and that this is not a desperate sale.
