A rare opportunity to own one of New Zealand's most iconic motor launch designs — the Salthouse Corsair in its sought-after aft cabin configuration.
Beautifully presented 1989 Salthouse Corsair Launch (12.45m, GRP/Balsa construction) finished in crisp white with a teak cockpit and duckboard. She presents exceptionally well both inside and out, with a light-toned timber interior that feels fresh and well cared for.
Engine & Performance Powered by twin Volvo 200HP engines on legs, cruises comfortably at 18 knots and reaches a max of 25 knots, with approximately 1,500 hours on the motors. Trim tabs, bow thruster, and auto pilot make her easy to handle solo or with crew.
Accommodation The aft cabin layout provides the most versatile sleeping arrangement in the Corsair range — 2 cabins with 4 berths total, including a private owner's double aft with ensuite, and a generous forward cabin. Two full heads and showers (plus a cockpit shower) ensure comfort for the whole family.
