Overview
About this vessel
July 2026 Update! Asking price just slashed to $100,000! Owner wants it sold!
Ocean Girl was recently hauled out for new antifouling and propspeed, and photos have been added of the boat while out of the water. Raw water pumps were recently done as well.
This well-designed Pelin Challenger was built by Dick & Dick and launched in 1990. The hull is GRP and she is powered by twin Detroit Diesel 250hp through shafts. She will cruise in the range of 17-18 knots at 2200 RPM and max out at about 24 knots at WOT.
A large cockpit has been set up for fishing and includes game poles. It opens up to a good-sized saloon with the port side galley aft and a comfortable port side C Sofa. On the starboard side is the lower helm, another sofa with the fridge and bar area aft. Down forward is a double cabin to port, a twin cabin forward, and the head with a separate shower area to starboard.
The flybridge is well protected by a canvas top and has excellent views. The bow has a crane to allow the dingy tender and outboard to be launched, adding to the overall usability of the vessel.
Good size tanks hold 850L of diesel and 650L of water. New batteries were fitted in October 2024, and the EWOF was also renewed in 2024. An out of water insurance survey was done in April 2024.
Plenty of other recent works have been done, and the owner, who has kept this fantastic NZ flybridge launch for the last 20 years, wants it sold.
