Markline 1000

Desperado is the perfect "do anything boat".

Family cruising, Fishing trips, New Years Eve Fireworks spotting or Long Range Cruising, she does it all in comfort and safety.

New owners purchased the vessel from Tin Can Bay and traversed Wide Bay Bar in a South Easterly in 30+kn with ease. - Desperado had enough grunt to push through the waves, stability that kept the occupants comfy and economy that they could afford dinner at Bribie Island Pub to celebrate the journey.

Running 2x TAMD40b's with shaft drives spinning 3x bladed props, you don't need throttle around the docks, there's tonnes of torque to walk her into any berth no matter the weather.

Engines have been extremely reliable, start first time every time without hesitation, no excess smoke.

Cruising at 7kn -> 9kn @ ~1,900rpm (depending on passenger load) we'll use approximately 20L-> 25L per hour combined. - For her size, it's extremely economical.

We regularly cruise the Gold Coast broadwater, up to Sanctuary Cove, Marina Mirage, Runaway Bay, Tipplers sometimes 3 out of 4 w. E. 's in a month and fill fuel up every other month half a tank.

It will be sad to let this boat go, however with a growing family we've upscalled to a larger capacity boat purely to have more room for kids on-board.

All serious offers will be considered.
