Overview
About this vessel
REDUCED 'Betty' is the perfect river cruiser boasting a Yamaha 60hp high thrust fuel injected outboard with only 500hrs making her very economical to run. She has spent the last few years cruising around Goolwa, Mannum, Wentworth and the Coorong. The covers and clears were replaced in 2025, the cockpit is a good size for entertaining but also perfect for solo cruising with 2 x swivel Boston chairs and plenty of potential for adding more seating at the back. The internal layout is fantastic with a generous double V-berth that can be set up as 2 x single beds, there is also a saloon table that converts to another double. The inline galley is compact yet practical and when in the saloon there is plenty of natural light and views from all windows. The Mariner 26 was designed and built with generous 6'3" headroom throughout. 'Betty' is fitted with a gas shower and electric toilet and a grey water tank. The overall condition looks to be good, the hull is strong and the pod on the back for the engine mount is a great addition. 'Betty' is ready to go if you are looking for a river boat without the maintenance of timber; this is a very good alternative and it has the added advantage that she would be just as capable in the sea if you are looking at more of a sea change.
