1996 COUGAR CAT 13M (1996)

Here is a serious offshore fishing platform that punches well above its price point. The 1996 Cougar Cat 13m is a proven GRP sportsfisher built to commercial survey standard - a testament to its structural integrity and sea-keeping capability. Twin 210hp Hino diesels on shafts deliver a comfortable 12-14 knot cruise and 18 knots top speed from twin 800-litre stainless steel fuel tanks, giving genuine bluewater range. Accommodation is practical and comfortable with two bow cabins featuring single berths port and starboard, a spacious saloon with large dinette and twin couches, and an aft galley equipped with gas hob/oven, three-way fridge, and califont hot water. A self-contained lockup shower and toilet with holding tank completes the offshore package. On deck, the massive teak cockpit is purpose-built for game fishing - featuring a game chair, game poles, and bait tank. The flybridge has been recently upgraded with new Raymarine touch display, new VHF, and a new anchor winch with 55m of fresh chain. Pre-purchase survey available from December 2024. At $129,000, this is exceptional value for 13 metres of capable, well-equipped offshore fishing boat in Tauranga.
