Boating New Zealand – April 2018

(Brent) #1
8 - 24 metre custom sedan, mid-pilothouse and sportsfisher motor yachts

Seldom does a late model ‘Elite’ of this calibre come on the market. Set up for both serious sport-fishing and cruising ‘Humdinger’ is in my view the ultimate kiwi
motor yacht of this size. Off shore capable ‘Humdinger’ has now completed three seasons in Tonga with a phenomenal catch record. Built by Scott Lane Boatbuild-
ers to the clients exacting standards and equipped as one would expect for a vessel in this league, her teak joinery work and attention to detail is second to none.
Accommodation consists of three double cabins, one with ensuite, power is Caterpillar. Owners are having a change in direction and reluctantly offer her for sale.
There is also the option to purchase with a 16m marina berth. Contact owner’s sole agent and vessels designer, Bill Upfold on 027 485 3235 • info@elitemarine.

Kaihanu has been continually upgraded by the present owner and maintained to a very high standard. Towards the end of 2017 the cockpit was re-modelled to
include built-in bbq, sliding transom doors, live bait tank and teak decking replaced. New 6kva genset installed and lazerette tidied and re-painted. New paint
applied to the hull and re-varnished interior wood work. Kaihanu is an excellent family cruiser having three separate cabins and two heads, the master is aft with
ensuite giving good separation from the two cabins frd. The enclosed pilot house is a fantastic place for travelling and socializing with 360 deg visibility all round.
Economic cruise of 18-20kts from twin 400hp Cummins using approx. 4.5-5 lph makes her one of the most fuel efficient 50 footers on the market. Contact Bill
Upfold, the vessels designer, for an appointment to view. 027 485 3235 • [email protected] • Asking $749,000
