Bernard Wilson Tasmanian cray boat professional conversion Just Listed

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!!!

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 price for this unique vessel is not negotiable - but it 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.
