The Bill Barry-Cotter produced 760 Mariner Pacer, still to this day, has a legion fans who admire the simplicity and forward thinking of it's design, the sheer volume it offers along with its excellent ride and handling. This particular example is certainly showing signs of age but is well cared for, used regularly and is providing plenty of enjoyment, but her owners now have sights on a larger vessel.
Fitted out with a Mercury Scorpion 5.7 V8 shaft drive, which was installed new in March 2016, serviced annually and provides very reliable, economical performance and uses just 25 litres per hour at a cruising speed of 18 knots. She sleeps up to four people in the spacious saloon, and has a large rear deck / cockpit area measuring 2.65m x 2.05m giving plenty of space for entertaining and fishing.
She is dry rack stored, high up and under cover at a local marina and can be inspected by contacting Australiawide Boat Sales Manly Qld in advance to secure a suitable day and time.
