DON SENIOR 17.3 mtr

This boat has been a long time in the making, but the end result is nothing short of oustanding. This is unquestionably one of the best custom-built boats of it’s size to come out of this country and is a Kiwi masterpiece in every respect. 

A central transom island houses the BBQ with sink unit and wet bar, rubbish bin and gas bottle holder. The cocktail cabinet is a perfect example of the intricate detail and craftmanship.
