1996 PELIN TOPAZ (1996)

The 1996 Pelin Topaz is a well-proven New Zealand-built cruiser offering exceptional value at $39,000. Stretching 9 metres LOA with a 2.3m beam and 0.80m draft, this glass-over-ply monohull has been thoughtfully refurbished inside and out, presenting in impressive condition for her vintage. Power comes from a single Yanmar 4-cylinder 170hp diesel on a shaft V-drive, logging just 1,408 hours. The gearbox and driveline have been fully replaced and realigned, delivering a confident 20-knot cruise and 25-27 knots flat out. Below decks, the two-cabin layout includes a forward double berth, two single bunks in the starboard saloon, a lock-up shower and toilet, and a port-side galley fitted with sink, fridge, gas hob and oven. Topside, the cockpit features a generous sunshade, swim platform with stainless steel railings, underfloor storage and engine room access. The helm station is well-equipped with an electric capstan remote, Furuno and Garmin displays, trim tabs, VHF radio and a solar charging panel. Berthed in Tauranga, Bay of Plenty, this Pelin Topaz is described by the vendor's sole agent as engineering in exceptional condition - a turnkey summer cruiser ready to go.
