Wow. Me and my Suzi want the exact same boat in the same time frame with very nearly the same budget! Even the same headroom!

Good luck!

I have sent you a PM about our yacht for sale. Do hope you get it!

Check out Yacht Hub | Yachts & Boats for Sale Australia, New Zealand
Also Used Boats - New Boats - Search New & Used Boats For Sale - BoatPoint Australia

Yacht Hub is easier to use, and better presented. Boatpoint probably has more boats.

Hi, I have looked at a lot, still am to be honest. The folks here are very helpful in critiquing boats for you and even taking the odd look to save you hours of travel to view a garbage junk.

Make sure you ask, you never know they might know the boat or have seen it already.

Dont know about tank sizes, this recently turned up with a private seller in Sydney.

Be pro-active and look online and contact brokers for viewings yourself.
Heres a start, about 150 of them

Contact brokers and give them your wants and needs, and let them help find you a boat after all, this is their job.
