Overview
About this vessel
The Nereus 18 is a proven Australian-built fishing boat offering a solid, practical and capable platform for both inshore and offshore use.
Built in South Australia, Nereus boats developed a strong following with local fishers thanks to their heavily constructed fibreglass hulls, broad beam and reputation for handling less-than-perfect conditions. Even today, the Nereus 18 remains a very relevant fishing boat with plenty of usable deck space and a hull design well suited to South Australian waters.
This example is powered by a Mercury 115hp four-stroke outboard, providing an excellent combination of performance, economy, quiet operation and reliability.
The boat sits on a galvanised tandem-axle trailer, making it a genuinely trailerable fishing package and allowing its next owner to easily explore different fishing grounds.
Electronics include a fish finder/GPS, while a near-new bimini provides welcome protection from the sun and weather. The cockpit offers a simple and functional fishing layout with good usable space for anglers and equipment.
Presented in tidy condition for its age, this Nereus 18 represents a great opportunity for someone looking for a proven fishing hull without the cost associated with a modern equivalent.
These boats have stood the test of time. Strong construction, a broad and stable hull and a reputation earned through years of both inshore and offshore fishing continue to make the Nereus 18 a capable and highly usable fishing platform.
A solid and honest fishing package combining a proven South Australian hull with modern four-stroke power. The Nereus 18 remains every bit as useful today as it was when built and would make an excellent bay, gulf or offshore fishing boat for its next owner.
