Sterling 26
MV Lisa Marie is a beautiful little cruiser with loads of charm. She is perfect for a small family or couple. Current owners use her most weekends on Lake Macquarie and for extended stays on the lake during holiday periods. She has been to the Hawkesbury River/Broken Bay/Pittwater, Brisbane Water, Sydney, Port Stephens, Newcastle Harbour and Myall Lakes. Her heavy and reliable diesel engine has been maintained reguarly and has never failed either in rough or calm weather. Lisa Marie will be sorely missed by her current owners and it will be very hard to let go. Current owners are only selling due to purchase of a yacht as a new interest.
Hull was professionally re-sprayed in 2017. All decks and superstructure have been repainted. New cushions/upolstery included. Lavac toilet with new pump as well as new curtains. Plenty of oil filters, fuel filters, other spares included for new owner. Recently antifould and propspeed applied in 2024.

Remarks
This boat has been in the family for many years (see Sydney Afloat article for context). She has been lovingly maintained and it will be very hard to see her go. There is a full service/maintanence log from 2017 (when we purchased) and also logs from previous owners. She was antifould in October 2024. Antifouling is completed every 18 months. Insurance/out of water survey is available for dates 2017 and 2023.
