Suzuki DF60A 60Hp EFI 4S – 48 hrs (2015)

Redco Sportsman RE1313 braked trailer (09.2015)

We have just traded this near new presented, 48 hour old Aquamaster 455 aluminium plate sided runabout. These beautiful boats offer the owner a solid construction and the raised sheer line gives the boat a classic line in design and stability is assured at rest with a generous beam of 2.15m.

First Impressions

As the photos depict the boat presents in striking condition and has been optioned up from new with a 60Hp Suzuki four stroke rather than a 50Hp. With 4 aboard the 60Hp easily lifts the boat onto the plane and pushes the rig economically and efficiently as the Suzuki’s fours strokes are renowned for with range assured via the underfloor 65l fuel tank that is fitted.

On the Water

The motor has recorded a low 48 hours of use and this is verified on both the pre-sale computer diagnostic test and the multifunction Suzuki engine gauge on the dash. The motor has been also mechanically pre-tested and again presents in very condition and as a bonus, JCM will complete the annual engine service prior to handover!  

Runabouts of this size offer the family a wonderful and manageable sized package ideal for exploring the bay and sheltered coastal waters whether you want to go fishing, swimming and snorkeling or simply enjoy what the aquatic environment has to offer.  Seating for 4 is comfortably provided by way of a 2 pedestal seats and a quality rear lounge with wrap around beck rest. Overhead a quality bimini provides shelter from the midday sun and some reprieve on the rainy days afloat.
