This is a highly optioned example of the Whittley 2600 CR OB, there is not much more you could have asked the factory to install on this as new example and with the outboard power base she is a market leader overnight family boating in a trailerable package.
Whittley have been a market leader in the trailerable family cruiser market for decades and this 2600 CR OB is the pinnacle of a towable family cruiser package looking all the world like the 2800 CR but infinitely easier to tow and launch at your local ramp should you have a trailer under her ( discussions welcomed regarding a trailer ).
A huge rear swim platform with their newly designed overhead shade, stainless steel railings, BBQ, Baitboard, underfloor storage and easy access through to the Cockpit all finished in a non skid EVA decking.
Stepping down through the starboard side transom door into a deep internal free board offering your family all the cruising safety you could ask for with quality wrap around seating across the transom and along the Port side with folding lounges recessed into the Starboard gunwales when the family all need a place at the Cockpit table for a round of sandwiches or when converting the rear area into the second berth for a night in Parker Point.
This is an ideal area to relax while underway or recline with a cold drink while the kids swim in the Azure waters of your favourite bay. Plenty of general storage below the lounges, a cocktail cabinet and ample shade overhead from the rear hardtop. Roll back the sunroof and let the afternoon breeze waft through. Perfect boating.
Along your Port side forward into the cabin sits the typically Whittley Galley installation, room to prep, a single element stove, one of two fridges onboard, stainless steel sink and room for the required Galley items in recessed cabinets. The caravan on water is a term often used and well deserved with everything you need beautifully installed into this 26 foot boating package.
Turning to Starboard finds you opening the door to the head with electric toilet and shower keeping the family in top condition for some well earned land time.
Accommodation is always a concern on a 26 foot package, Whittley have figured out the equation to offer two double berths with your master in the bow when converting the forward lounge with a second berth in the Cockpit when converting the rear lounges. Sleeping two adults and two children is well within the abilities of the very clever Whittley 2600 CR OB.
Standing at the helm and being tall I can slide the sunroof open and rest my arms on the hardtop making it a very relaxing style of driving with unlimited vision. When the weather is little on the wet side slide the sunroof closed and take a seat at the helm. All you need is right at hand with a very well laid out helm position and exceptional vision through wrap around screens.
Being a raised helm position the under seat storage has been converted into a second fridge, you cant have enough cold room on the boat. Your co-pilot has an equally considered seating position complete with a sliding side window for those extra hot WA summer days. They are not far away now....
Powered by a Mercury 300 Hp V8 four stroke engine the max Hp for this application she will have you flying across the water with a comfortable cruise above 20 knots if the conditions allow. Very low hours with just 49 showing on the Simrad integrated electronics. The first service has recently been undertaken and the remainder of all warranties will be applicable.
Keeping track of the days events on the 12 inch Simrad Gps, sounder combination while controlling the ride with the latest in trim tabs thanks to the Seakeeper Ride system. Check those out on youtube, what a system.
