Overview
About this vessel
MV Elizabeth, a charming heritage vessel, was originally a commercial crayfish vessel and fully refitted on conversion into a pleasure launch in 2000 by Miller & Tunnage.
It has a 6-cylinder Ford 2715E engine with only 404 engine hours and is in excellent condition.
Open-plan saloon, ample storage, a spacious bathroom with shower and toilet, two single berths in the forecastle, and a fold-down double berth in the saloon make it ideal for day trips and overnight stays. The galley has a gas oven, a 4-ring cooktop, and a califont hot water system.
An Alaska Dickinson diesel heater ensures comfort on cooler days.
The vessel features a Furuno depth sounder, compass with good fluid, a good anchor system with a brand new anchor and 30m of galvanised chain, an electric 12V capstan, and dual system steering controls.
The MV Elizabeth is currently docked at Lake Wānaka.
Cosmetic-only improvements would restore this gem to a sought-after classic vessel.
The upholstery is all in very good condition.
Electrical wiring and switchboard are modern and in very good condition.
An intact stability test has been completed. It could potentially be put into commercial use with a Passenger Survey.
