Description

Lovely little Canoe Stern 28ft Wooden/Glass Launch

"ZOET" is a 9 mtr Ted Brewer (USA) design. Blue Hill, designed for bars/rough water. Built in early 1980s by the UNITECH Boatbuilding school in Auckland.

Shallow draft at approx 700mm. Been great for harbour, shallow bays, fishing.

Good sized cockpit for fishing or relaxing/dining. Swim platform and ladder through the stern. (Photos dont show but there is a stern infill panel)

Sleeps 2 in forward cabin. Head. Galley and dinette on deck level with plenty of light and visibility when sitting in those lovely bays.

Needs a few maintenance jobs completed hence very realistic price.

Includes 2.4 Southern Pacific Inflatable and 2 hp Yamaha outboard

Price includes the mooring in Parua Bay, Whangarei Harbour.

Mooring is valued at $6000 with a recent service cost of over $2000. This is in a prime position being only about 50 metres from the pontoon/jetty and the closest mooring in Parua bay. It is rated for 12 mtrs but currently only has a 2 ton block so would need a 4 ton upgrade for 12 mtr, but OK for 9 mtrs.

My preference is to sell the boat and mooring together hence the reduced price for the package deal but I will consider seperate offers for boat & mooring seperately.

Hi, great looking boat. What is the crushing speed? And hours on the diesel? andrewc8 (97) • 8:47 pm, Wed, 4 Mar

Hi… yes she is. Cruising 5-6 knots. I’m not sure on the engine hours, I was told when I purchased that it had about 400 hrs since a recond but no receipts viewed. I’ve done very few hours, had it a couple of years but not had the time to use it. craker23 (70) • Wednesday, 4 March 2026

Hi Do you have a rough list of the maintenance jobs you mentioned please? Thanks newchance2014 (39) • 9:29 pm, Wed, 4 Mar

The main job needed is cabin window resealing…the rest is just the usual boat maintenance jobs. I am hauling out for waterblaster/antifoul in couple weeks. Has prop speed already. And I’ll likely replace the flexible solar panel as clear covering lifting. craker23 (70) • Wednesday, 4 March 2026

With regards my comment on cruising speed…. My comment was made regarding my use… I only ever cruise about 1800 rpm about 6 knots. I’m sure the boat speed should easily be 7-8 knots. In checking Ted Brewer website for Blue Hill launch… states boat speed up to 20 knots as was designed for bar crossings etc, but clearly the Nissan SD22, shaft/V drive wouldn’t achieve this.
