All right, here we go... Dear friends of FBMP. Up for sale is my boat which I've only just taken possession of...
I bought this Brig 780 after 6 months of looking around. There was a lot of rubbish for sale in the $70-80 price range ( ie old hulls, not really maintained that well, things broken etc ), and then there were similar boats, very well maintained and in top condition north of $110K on Sydney Harbour. New these are now $240K. So when this popped up on Pittwater for $95K I bought it on the spot. This boat was maintained by a very wealthy fellow where money didn't mean a great deal and he wanted all his toys working in pristine condition. I knew from the moment I stepped on it, it was worth every cent so I bought it almost immediately. 3 weeks later in late January my Leukaemia returned with a vengeance and after only using it 3 times I am now forced to sell up, which is a shame as this boat is an absolute weapon. The insurance through Pantaenius was simple ( $1200 PA ), the mooring in Clareville is free to use for 12 Months and this boat is as it was from January 2025 when I picked it up.
It had been immaculately maintained, has a console cover, recently anti fouled and serviced and is the best 780 you will find anywhere on Pittwater or the Harbour for this price. I've learnt the teak decks are actually teak and not plastic and the Raymarine electronics is brand new.
Serviced Pittwater Marine February 2025. My best mate who is the owner of Pittwater Marine swears by this boat and can vouch for every item on it, its service ability and history and that this is a genuine sale. His details can be provided.
So in summary, if you're after a Brig 780, this is the vessel. I'm not discounting on it. Once you see it and drive it, I can assure you, you will pay the extra few bucks to get an awesome boat. All sale documentation from Jan 2025 including the original sellers details and number can also be verified for authenticity if and when required. Please don't muck us both around. Im too sick to deal with opportunists, something that this social media interface breeds and promotes.
Come and buy it. You'll be very happy you did. I paid $90 so I'm selling it for $90.
