Whittley SL 26 HT OB Just Listed

John Crawford Marine is proud to present this remarkably optioned Whittley SL26 Hard Top, powered by the mighty V8 Mercury Verado AMS and sitting atop a custom Mackay Multi-Link trailer, all for $239,995 tow-away.

This is a true maxi trailer boat that can be an offshore angler's dream one weekend, a comfortable coastal cruiser the next, or an entertainer at anchor.

The SL26 offers a spacious and light-filled cabin with a generous V-berth and fitted cushions, perfect for overnighting or giving the kids a comfortable kip. A cleverly designed enclosed head includes a toilet and hot/cold shower, while the functional galley incorporates an induction hot plate, fridge, sink, and ample storage throughout.

The cockpit layout provides comfortable seating with reversible helm and passenger chairs that can face aft for trolling or simply enjoying the view underway, with large storage compartments beneath each seat (even a pie warmer on one side and drinks fridge under the other).

Serious fishing features include cavernous under-floor storage, a custom-made bait rigging station, plumbed live-bait tank, raw-water deck wash, underwater transom lights, and more.
Up on top of the hard top, a custom stainless-steel dinghy cradle with removable "Viking horns" makes for easy storage height adjustment, complemented by a rod rack, LED cockpit fishing lights and solar panel for topping the batteries.

At the helm, everything is within reach, including dual large-screen Garmin MFDs, a GME VHF radio, Fusion stereo, Zipwake trim tabs, and controls for the electric anchor winch, all protected by the solid hard top.

This example was ordered with the upgraded Mercury Verado AMS 300 hp V8, also featuring Digital Throttle and Shift (DTS) functionality. In place of the standard V6 225 hp, the 300Hp V8 delivers genuine on-water performance, along with an increased fuel capacity of 340 litres (up from 240 litres) for extended range.
