1988 MARKLINE 1988 MARKLINE 900

Meet 'Te Mahia' - a beautifully maintained 1988 Markline 900 that represents the very best of classic New Zealand launch ownership, now available in Whangamata for NZD $59,000. Cosmetically modernised yet faithfully retaining its warm original timber trim throughout, this vessel has been genuinely cared for over many years. Power comes from a reputable Volvo Penta KAD42 6-cylinder diesel producing 230hp, repowered in 2005 and comprehensively serviced - the sterndrive was fully rebuilt, replaced and upgraded in July 2024, with the most recent service completed October 2025. The 385-litre fuel capacity makes her a capable coastal cruiser. Inside, all interior cushions were replaced around 2018 and remain in excellent condition, while the flybridge features covered squabs. Practical upgrades abound: power steering, upgraded fridge and a large freezer that performs superbly, replacement carpets, and a stereo system. Deck-side, a very large duckboard with stainless hoop accommodates the stainless bait board, while custom-fabricated slewing dinghy davits above the cockpit offer excellent tender management. A Garmin EchoMap/scan with upgraded through-hull transducer, BBQ, tender and 2HP Yamaha outboard complete the package. A change in the vendor's circumstances means a genuine opportunity to step straight aboard and start enjoying. Contact Ian Duncan on 021 121 9524.
