### **WHY BUY EL TORO?**
- **Proven workhorse**: Ultra-stable, fuel-efficient, and built for heavy-duty fishing use.
- **Turnkey operation**: Ready for crayfishing or quick conversion to charter/private use.
- **Low-maintenance**: Tried and tested setup usable in all conditions, great serviceability.
- **EXTRAS: Spare engine and multiple Yamaha spares, props etc adds immediate value and piece of mind regarding reliability.
**Survey:** Current Survey expires April 2026. Fresh survey planned post-sale (current on hold with Able Ships).
These boats are unbelievably solid platforms, super low draft, very slippery and would operate perfectly in almost any fishing area of New Zealand.
Boat will come with trailer pictured. Hydraulic tilting beach trailer or transport trailer from mooring location etc.
Happy to discuss any potential missing information or queries. We are hoping to move this boat on before the end of 2025.
