Sports cruiser, 6.50 x 2.30 m, GRP hull, draught 0.85 m, approx. 1.7 t. Sleeps 2 adults in the cabin plus 1 on the cockpit bench under the camper canopy; as a family layout, 2 adults and 2 children up to about 8-10 years in the cabin. Private sale, I am the third owner.

History and condition
Bought in 2021 from a neighbour. Previously used only on freshwater lakes and always stored indoors over winter. 2021-2023 on land in Germany. Launched in Italy (Cavallino-Treporti / Jesolo) in 2023 after a full service, 2 seasons there, mostly on land. Since June 2025 in a covered hall near Biograd na Moru, Croatia. Since 2021 no more than 40-50 engine hours in the Adriatic, a maximum of about 14 days in salt water in total.

The boat shows its age: minor scuffs on the hull with no structural relevance, the gelcoat has never needed repair. Small jobs to do: cockpit table mounting and bow light (damaged when a mooring line parted in a swell).

The buyer can take over the dry-marina berth (approx. EUR 660 per year).

Engine and drive
Mercruiser MCM 4.3 LX Alpha One, 132 kW (180 HP), V6 petrol, sterndrive. 943 engine hours on the meter. Top speed in flat water approx. 40 knots (approx. 74 km/h). Sterndrive bellows replaced in 2025 (no invoice, done on my instruction).

Service June 2024 (invoiced, approx. EUR 4,000, B.G. Marine Jesolo)

engine oil and filter, sterndrive gear oil, fuel filter, 6 new spark plugs
Alpha One anode kit
new 100 Ah battery with box
antifouling on hull and drive
new custom-made cover
installation of GPS plotter with echo sounder
9 hours labour incl. general check

Over the last years I have invested more than EUR 4,000 in service and equipment. This is not a boat someone wants to get rid of, but one that was kept in a hall, maintained and upgraded.
