WHITTLEY SL 22 HT MARLIN BROADBILL EDITION  

Some boats just look good, no fancy vocabularic explanation needed to be written, some boats just simply ooze style, with flowing lines and simply have the "wow" factor.

As this Whittley SL22 hard top does... Simply screams value when compared to its new price today and is loaded to the gunnels with quality factory fitted upgrades throughout.

If you desire a trailerable "do-it-all" package... With a toilet and freshwater transom shower, a boat that can convert to a fishing battle station, enjoy skippering at a helm with an enviable array of electronics and powered by Mercury 200Hp V6 backed with balance of the factory warranty... Then look no further - JCM has the boat!

Whittley are regarded as one of Australia's top 4 fiberglass boat manufacturers in amongst with Cruise Craft | Haines Hunter and Signature Boats - Whittley are constantly seeking refinement with customer feedback and this has seen the Sea Legend range morph to a near perfect trailerable all-rounder.

I won't re-write what has already been penned by far superior boat editors as a plethora of information can be easily found on a quick Google search or for on water video footage, check out YouTube.

The rig was purchased new in April 2022 and upgraded throughout the order from the standard 150Hp up to the 200Hp Mecury. Fitted with a stainless-steel prop, steering made light by way of fitting the Hydrive Commander steering system and range is assured with the underfloor 210l fuel tank.

If fishing is your thing, the big MFD screen Garmin GPSMAP touchscreen unit will help you plot your course and find the fish, on water communications can be made via the Garmin VHF 115i radio and the Fusion Bluetooth stereo will provide quality sound whilst you enjoy listening to your favourite tunes.

Offshore, don't scare the fish with dropping the anchor, press a button and watch the Minn Kota Ulterra, self deploy into position! Once you use one of these, there is no returning to the clumsy situation of trying to anchor in "right" spot! This Ulterra has a 72 inch shaft and punches 112lbs of thrust from the Lithium 36V battery. This set up alone including the custom fabrication of the bow plate was in excess of $12,000!

Deck wash, bait prep board, plumbed live bait tank, stainless steel overhead rod storage, lighting everywhere (just love the recessed LED lighting in under the hard top!) and storage abounds throughout the boat for all your gear!

However if Sunday boating becomes the family day for social boating, comforts adorn this rig as well including the marine toilet, large comfortable bedding in the forward cabin, well thought out ventilation, ease of anchoring via the electric drum winch, fresh water transom shower and a very practical seating design as the pictures show.

I can't help but smile as I write this as I've been selling used trailer boats since 1999 and try and I still can't find a late model trailer boat that ticks as many boxes as this model does when lined up against its competitors in this field.

The Trailer

The boat is trailered on a quality Australian made Mackay Multi Link MLKR5750T tandem trailer manufactured new in March 2022 and are regarded as one of the best Australian made trailers on the market.

The rig will weigh circa 2450kgs fuelled and hence the braking system is an Alko iQ7 electrically activated hydraulic system activating the calipers on all 4 wheels. The trailer ATM is 3000kg and naturally a suitable tow vehicle will be required to legally tow. The trailer is designed so that the rig can be easily driven on and off the trailer with the V load design.

Further options fitted inc matching spare wheel / stainless steel L-n-R boat catch latch / Stainless steel ratchet tie downs and Knott foldaway jockey wheel.
