1958 Mahan Marine Mahogany Power Boat
Specifications
Description
This is an early 1958 Wooden Boat was built by Robert C Mahan (of Mahan Boatbuilders in Redcliffs Christchurch, New Zealand), who we understand also built boats for Hamilton Jets, as well as other crafts.
We understand that this boat was actually built by Robert Mahan to use as his family boat in Akaroa and the Marlborough Sounds.
Many power boats were built for inboard motors - this one was built for outboard, which makes it somewhat rare.
Comes with a 68/69 Mercury 125hp motor - we never ran it but understand it runs well.
Boat is made of mahogany ply and wood is in very good condition.
Boat looks complete - seats are there, chrome bits from what we can see are all there.
Trailer is pretty much brand new and boat is being sold complete with trailer and motor in as is where is condition.
This would make an easy enough project for someone with the time to do it. We don't have the the time and are mainly into cars, so would even consider looking at a trade with a classic / vintage vehicle.

Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.
The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
