Overview
About this vessel
This is a genuine piece of classic Kiwi boating history. This 1984 Cresta Craft 16' Sport has had one owner from new, has been garaged its entire life and has only ever been used in freshwater.
This boat not only retains its original hull, motor and trailer package, but it is complete with colour-matched upholstery and decals to the Mercury Black Max on the back. At over 40 years old, the presentation of the engine in particular is remarkable — it looks like it has barely left the showroom.
For its age, this boat presents exceptionally well. There are a few scrapes around the bow, which have not gotten into the fibreglass, some expected wear to the carpet, signs of age on the full storage cover and a few small cracks on one trailer guard.
This is not a restored boat trying to recreate the 1980s — it is a remarkably original, one-owner boat. The classic Cresta Craft lines, colour-matched interior and Mercury Black Max make it a fantastic package for someone looking for an old-school ski boat with classic history and character.
A rare opportunity to own an exceptionally original piece of New Zealand boating history.
