CruiseCraft Explorer 685

John Crawford Marine offers the maxi trailer boat buyer a rare opportunity to own a one owner since new, sensationally presented Cruise Craft 685 Explorer powered by a Suzuki 250Hp four stroke with fly by wire, trailered on a Redco Sportsman trailer.

Unquestionably, Cruise Craft have raised the bar to unpresented levels with their range of locally made Explorer models. This hull is now in the final stages of production today, currently now called the EX720 Explorer.

The attention to detail and the factories fit out are industry leading and it's easy to see why these sensational boats demand the price they do - they just work!

This is a one owner package that was purchased new in 2014, lovingly maintained, and stored undercover when not in use and under the custom made storage cover as pictured.
As the photos try and showcase, every nook and cranny has a purpose and reason in its design for either fishing or comfort. Further, the package boasts an armoury of electronics, features and the re-assurance of being serviced by the book by the same Suzuki dealer since new.

Powered by a Suzuki 250Hp DF250AP EFI four stroke that is a perfect power plant for this hull delivering excellent acceleration and fuel economy. This is the AP model featuring "fly-by-wire" electronic gear and throttle change. The engine has recorded a computer ECU verified 215 hours. Hours are almost a by gone discussion when they are known for 1,000's of hours of trouble-free motoring.

The engine spins a stainless steel prop, steering is light with hydraulic steering system fitted and range is assured with a factory upgraded at the time order, 370l under floor fuel tank. The owner has indicated that the rig consumes on average 0.8 litres to the km or 1.3km to the litre, under normal conditions.

The family is not forgotten with an array of creature comforts, with a toilet, sliding cabin privacy door, large cabin v-berth with the infill, comfortable seating throughout and over sun protection with the extension cockpit slide out awning.

Dual Cruise Craft 110L fiberglass eskies offer plenty of volume for the fish or food and drinks and these neatly stow under the mid ship seating.

The angler in the family will love the cockpit - this is where the Cruise Craft Explorer shines with a beautifully designed and finished area, underfloor fish kill bins, fold up the rear lounge, fill the recirculating live bait tank with livies, get the rods away that aren't being used in the overhead rod storage rack atop the bimini and keep the area clean with the salt water deck wash.

We all desire and dream about having a dash of quality electronics, this 685 Explorer is fitted with an armoury of Garmin electronics inc a 16" multi touch screen, Garmin Radar, Garmin 12" MFD, Airmar 1kw transducer, Garmin G3 mapping, VHF radio are installed. Anchoring is simple as the boat has Lewmar Pro Fish anchor winch installed and to help with lateral trim Lenco trim tabs are fitted.
