Description: Caterson 63 Pilothouse long distance cruiser
This vessel is truly a long-distance motor vessel, that will take you anywhere in safety with its heavy triple diagonal plank timber hull and then with its fibreglass sheathing, weighing in at 60 ton, its five-foot draft and Naiad stabiliser's, making it a great sea boat for all weather conditions. Originally built to Australian survey standards, but not in current survey. She is currently on the Australian ship's registry. The replacement cost of this vessel today would run into several million dollars. This vessel falls into the category of a small ship. Great live aboard.
