*** SOLD ***

I have decided to sell my 1 year old Benguela 17 CC which is the perfect allrounder - she is at home both on the sea and skiing on the dam. You will not find a better sea going boat that is still able to perform on a dam pulling tubes, ski's etc. I have been 15nm offshore regularly and never once felt unsafe. But I want to go up to 40nm for Yellowfin tuna on a regular basis and there are better suited boats (larger) for that application, so she is on the market!

2012 Angler Benguela 17 CC (5.4 meter) - 4 years left of warranty.
2012 Galvanized Anglermate Trailer (licensed until March 2014)
2012 Honda BF60 Four Strokes x 2 (80 hours) - 2 years left of warranty.

Optional Extras fitted in addition to the standard fixtures, which you can find on www.australmarine.co.za:

• Angler T-Top with 4 x “rocket launcher style” rod holders fitted with the aerial for the VHF radio.
• Ski Pole for skiing
• Hydraulic steering
• 4 x 25L Tanks
• Water/Fuel Filter
• New isolator Switch to disconnect the batteries
• All Category C Equipment (15NM). Just had annual survey and valid until March 2014.
• Extra Rod Holders in Gunwhales
• New gang panel with 6 switches
• Fusion Marine Sound System with Fusion Marine speakers
• Garmin 421S Fishfinder / GPS Combo with G2 Blue Vision card
• Lowrance VHF
• Navigation Lights
• Bilge Bump
• Motor Trim Synchronization Toggle Switch
• Extra Cup Holders
• Extra Cushion for bow area when cruising on river / dam
• Top quality Boat Cover made specifically for this boat.
• Top quality Motor Covers made specifically for the motors.
• Trailer bearings checked – all OK (08/02/2013).

The thought has crossed my mind a few times to be honest. But regular trips to the tuna grounds calls for a bigger boat sadly.

Wife not happy!

Howzit Bennie. I have noticed that you have in that past been interested in a second, smaller boat. They don’t come any better than this to be honest. The one symptom of mono’s that you often mention is rolling at anchor or whilst drifting … not this boat. Three guys can stand on one side and you don’t get that roll to the side effect, not even close. I think it may have something to do with the hull being a variable V so it is flatter towards the back for added stability and “sharp” in the front to cut through waves.

Going forward, not necessarily a cat but most well rated boats in the 20/21’ range (which is what I am looking at) seem to be cats. The usual suspects; Z-Craft, Tom Cat, Butt Cat ….

You making me an offer?

Eish, I have 2 boats already, I need to get rid of my Explorer 465 because my family has grown and she is too small. The kosi is too big to handle when I am alone with the kids. I am betwwen a rock and a hard place.

Hi.

So nice to see these pictures of the Benguela 17 on this post. I bought this boat about two months ago through a boat shop in St Francis. Sold it yesterday to someone in St Francis and ordered its big brother , the Benguela 19cc. Had an absolute jol on it but needed some extra space. Can't wait until I get the new one. Going into the mould on Monday. Benguela's rule.

OJ, yes that was a good boat.
Its funny how life works out but I moved from Cape Town and now that Benguela 17 would be ideal for me again! I saw it being towed from St F to PE at Easter behind a white Caravelle ... was that you? I saw it again at Kerwyn two weeks ago. A bit sad that I let it go. Enjoy the 19!
