Got this a couple of days before Christmas 2024.
2006 Barchetta 502XC Deluxe. Made in Timaru. Not a well known brand but has good reviews https://powerboatmagazine.co.nz/barchetta-502ec/
It seems to handle like a bit bigger boat.
Mainly used in Pelorus Sound, Marlborough. Our first sea boat and first outboard (owned 4 V8s, 2x jet, 2x direct drive ski boats).
We're second owner. 2006 Yamaha 2 stroke, 115hp saltwater series. Now at 200 hours. Rapt with it so far, except for fuel thirstiness. 30L/hr. My V8's used less! LOL.
Added a bimini ($400) and put in a Lowrance HDS7 Gen 2 colour fish finder chart plotter with NZ maps ($200 from FB marketplace).
