explorer 40 powercat

Owners upgrading excellent opportunity to purchase a very capable well priced Diesel Power Cat. This Explorer 40 Power Cat is a comfortable twin deck ocean-going catamaran with plenty of space to live aboard or to enjoy day trips. She is a very economical (1 litre per Nm at 8 knots cruise) coastal and broad-water cruiser, and is superb at anchor for overnight or extended stays. She has handled the east coast in all conditions, being an extremely strong, dry and stable boat. Her displacement hulls and high bridge deck clearance provides an excellent sea motion; great for whale watching. She is easily handled and enjoyed by two or can cater for twenty plus. Moon Shadow is 12m long x 5.3m beam x 0.9m draft, with a stable 12t displacement. Her upper deck is enormous with fully covered seating, storage areas and a large open upper rear deck. Her large private front deck off the main deck saloon is a superb feature providing a sunning area or social cruising platform. Substantially upgraded in 2013, including new batteries, floor coverings, stainless steel davit with Polycraft tender and stern doors, she has been regularly slipped, serviced and antifouled, and comes equipped ready to go. The long, efficient hulls give a comfortable ride and the broad beam means a stable platform for all boating activities. The shallow draft (0.9m) opens up a larger area for cruising and anchoring in sheltered bays and rivers. The vessel can be beached safely due to its protected props and flat keel. She has two big double berths at main deck level in private cabins plus a private double cabin in the starboard hull. Additionally the saloon can be converted large double berth. The full size galley makes for easy entertaining with plenty of storage, with hot and cold-water sink, fridge/freezer, and 3-burner gas stove. Her huge saloon and cockpit with good ventilation provides plenty of space for live aboard or large groups. With hot and cold-pressured water, a full size shower (plus a freshwater hot and cold stern shower) and two electric toilets, she makes for easy and comfortable living. A large covered entertainment, fishing and activity area at the stern on the main deck provides a great utility area. Boarding the vessel from the dock or water is easy via the low stern platforms and steps. She has two helm stations, one located within the main deck cabin with engine instruments and controls, colour multi-function chart plotter, sonar and GPS, VHF & 27MHz radios. The upper helm provides fantastic visibility and easy cruising. The tender is a very tough and stable Polycraft 3m with Tohatsu 9.8 hp outboard supported on a purpose made stainless steel davit for easy launch and retrieval, clear of the hull tunnel and not affecting the glorious views to the rear. The large stainless steel BBQ with adjacent icebox and storage on the rear deck is an easy meal centre. Moonshadow was professionally built of glass / epoxy and Duplex composite in Hutchkinson, NSW. With her twin diesel engines and shaft drive, she is an inexpensive boat to maintain and run. Call our Gold Coast office today to arrange an inspection of this outstanding vessel.
