Quicksilver Activ 905 Weekend

The Quicksilver 905 is the ultimate cruising boat for either a couple or a family. The designers have packed many excellent features into this hull which enhance your boating pleasure without compromising on space. The cabins are more in keeping with a larger vessel and the adaptability of the cockpit is frankly amazing. This 2022 model has many attractive extras including copper coated hull, full cockpit enclosure, hot water, heating, electronic navigation aids and a powerful 300hp Mercury Verado engine.

Vessel is powered by a 300hp Mercury Verado, V8, 4-stroke outboard with a 3-bladed stainless steel propeller. This beast of an engine has completed 63 hours and has been regularly serviced. Most recent was in March 2024. Single lever engine control and built in management system. Boat will cruise happily at 25 knots but is capable of achieving 35 knots. Fuel is stored in a athwartships, 400 litre tank with sender unit. Boat manoeuvring is further enhanced by the powerful bow thruster. Hydraulic steering.

12/240V systems on board with 2x12V batteries providing engine start and domestic power. These are recharged via the engine alternator or the onboard smart charger when attached to shore power. Vessel comes with a waterproof shore power cable. 3-pin sockets in all cabins along with 12V USB charging ports.

The saloon feels like an extension of the cockpit thanks to the rear triple sliding doors. With full standing headroom throughout the interior of the vessel is a very pleasant place to be. The galley is on the starboard side and features a 2-burner gas hob, stainless steel sink with hot and cold pressurised water, front loading fridge and a microwave oven. The galley is handily placed for both the cockpit and the saloon dinette with its drop leaved table and comfortable seating area. This area can convert to an additional double berth if required but its main feature is that the forward bench seat can be utilised into a forward facing seat when at sea. The back rest is removeable and the seat base slides aft on rails and is secured in place.

Forward of the galley is the helm position with padded bolster seat. Here you have the built in navigation aids and full engine instrumentation. There is a sliding side door giving the helmsman access to the side decks making it easy to berth when single handed.

Two steps down from the helm is the sleeping cabins and the heads compartment. The bow cabin is enormous and features an island berth with extension, padded bulkhead, below berth storage area, hanging space and both direct and indirect mood lighting. The midships cabin has a full sized double berth. This can be made into two singles by the introduction of a dividing cushion. There is an opening port for ventilation, great storage behind the back rests and 12V lighting.

The heads has a sea toilet with holding tank, sink with hot and cold pressurised water, shower sump pump out and mirrored vanity units.
