I DO APPRECIATE THAT BECAUSE IT WILL SAVE YOUR TIME (should I mention my time too?)ALL GENUINE QUESTIONS ARE WELCOME on the bright side.
Well, this is one of a special chance for someone who are genuinely looking for:- A big and safe enough vessel that is made of heavy duty commercial Aluminum for light towing weight and long term use with easy maintenance. Also is setup for non-sinkable commercial purpose with all the commercial marine floating foam fitted inside/outside to ensure that if there is anything happens that water coming in then the boat still floating safely on the water with FULL LOAD of 18 passengers and crew on board. It is about 7.3m body + front nose + rear pods (hey, these pods are manufacture design from first day, not the "add-on" pods) ~ 8.5m. Including the trailer with boat and motors on trailer then total length is 8.8m.- Boat width is 2.49m (and of course the trailer width is about 2.45m too) which is absolutely legal for towing around anywhere. It is also legal for towing the boat during the normal days or holidays without problems. No need OVERSIZE sign or permit towing it around.- Dual hulls for stability and safety for your business / family.- Fully mobile with the strong and durable trailer that you can go almost anywhere.- Water taxi platform that can get ready to be used as Water taxi with full setup of 18 seats on board. The boat still has a Commerical Survey for water taxi usage until 2018, however I transfer it into a personal boat use and will have 12 months rego on that purpose, you can do another commercial survey and get into business at no time.- Or you can convert into a kind of mobile home on the water, or to get a very unique fishing boat, imagination is up to you.ALIKAT is my big dream (and still though), she is the very best dual hulls aluminum boat that i have ever owned. She was made for commercial Taxi Water usage before i bought her. I haven't seen the similar one around years, that's the reason I gave all of my efforts to have her. And no need to say about the reasons, i am so regretfully listing her here including everything that will become a full mobile package everyday. You may ask to buy just the boat / or with trailer / or without the car, but you must have a strong offer to do so.So what you are receiving in this offer as a whole package?1. ALIKAT dual hulls made by thick and heavy duty commercial aluminum boat BUT LIGHT WEIGHT with full set of 2 x Commercial Yamaha 115hp 2005 models that turns and runs very fine. They are about some hundreds of hours running on the clock and are in excellent condition.The hydraulic steering is very light and easy to turn.The boat is in excellent condition in and outside. All windows can be opened up inside to get more air flow if need.The boat has more than 20 life vests, one small room at the back for sink and toilet, dual heavy duty marine batteries, bilge pumps, radio, sonars, marine fishing GPS, fire extinguishers...Aluminum seats were welded on the floor for safety.At this moment, the boat is setup for non-sinkable purpose with all the commercial marine floating foam fitted inside/outside to ensure that if there is anything happens that water coming in then the boat still floating safely on the water with FULL LOAD of 18 passengers and crew on board until the marine rescue comes (we never expect this but it is safe to do setup like that way too). 2. Perfect matching heavy duty 3500kgs 3 axles trailer for dual hulls boat style. The best trailer for the boat. Trailer has hydraulic electric brakes on 4 wheels with ALKO oil pump, the popular and easy working one. Trailer has 12 months rego NSW too. The trailer has a lot more capacity to handle more than 4.5T load but it is no need to register to that level, just for reference.This trailer front draw bar can be extended in/out for another 4m longer (by removing the heavy duty pin) to launch the boat without even touching the rear tyres of the towing car to the water. There is not many of same quality trailer seeing around this age. It is very solid trailer that will last another 50 years easily. LOL4 brand new heavy duty tyres (1Ton rate/tyre which in fact is a lot more capacity so that it can handle the boat like a piece of cake), and 2 like new ones including good spare ones (2 spares). We towed the boat with the Landcruiser Kakadu for straight 1500kms with easy drive via local roads, mountain narrow roads, and highway.I also added one set of brand new heavy duty Weight distribution and load levelers for even safer towing. This costs me $500 for reference.3. Landcruiser 100 series Kakadu 2004 Black color V8 4.7 8 seater NSW rego with about 260.000kms on clock (still like run in for the UZJ100 engine), leather seats and electric seats with all the nice things from a Kakadu including the centre console fridge, and very nice full range of aircon/heater along the car for full 8 seats. Complete dry engine and not any small issue, turns on any second you want it to run. The car had a full service and parts changed a year ago for more than $5000 value to keep it happy for years ahead. It makes us very comfortable on the long trips to TAS, SA, VIC over the last year. Like new tyres. Runs tireless on any demand. The car will come with a few months of rego because we still use it daily and next rego will be July.I was looking madly to find the right car to tow the boat, hundreds of hours looking and checking many different Landcruiser, Land Rover, Nissan Patrol, Jeep... (which ever SUV 7-8 seats can cover 3.5T towing) until i could settle with this nice Kakadu 2004...The Landcruiser will tow the boat whole day like nothing behind the wheel, and you will feel no need of diesel or more power for the towing even if going up steep hill or down hill. Car has matching electric brake setup for towing the boat and trailer.The Landcruiser has very good history of service, with all the best of Kakadu model. We did not choose Sahara version due to some famous issues in electric of many different Sahara we inspected until we got this Kakadu almost 1 year ago from one owner.To help someone who really don't think my package is worth more than $10k, here is a simple calculation:- $15k for this trailer. You even can't get anything near the quality of this solid trailer anymore on the market. Now they make something very light weight with 2 axles and less material and of course you can't have same good functions from this old girl like the extension 4m draw bar.- $22k - $25k for the Kakadu: You can find a good Kakadu 2004 V8 with nothing needs for spare for this price range. Cheaper price? you will end with full of replacement lists.- Then how much you think a solid water taxi aluminum platform 18 seats with a pair of commercial Yamaha motors 115hp is worth on top?So, if you are genuine, and looking for things as what i was looking, then send me all your details and your bit of story and your thinking offer. I can't put exact number of asking price due to limit in Ebay, so don't expect the price is around that $8000, im asking full package for a lot more at $80.000 NEGOTIABLE. Payment will need to be clear before any settlement.Bank transfer, or bank cheque is prefer, if you bring cash you better bring a guard car and stop at the bank to get a bank cheque. LOL. Paypal can be used but you will pay all Paypal fee.TRADE IN??? Yes, there is a trade-in option which i prefer one/or some of those items PLUS cash your way.- Motorhome: no small one, prefer in the range of 21ft - 28ft motorhome.- Caravan: prefer in the range 20ft - 24ft full size caravan with full shower and toilet, no pop-up caravan pls.- Boat: prefer in the range 21ft - 27ft cruiser boat with good trailer. I still prefer dual hull boat but will consider single hull boat if it is in good nick and comfortable.Thanks for reading my ad.Cheers,James
