Friends, today we have an Iroquois 30 MKII catamaran with a Yamaha outboard engine for 16 600 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 9.14 meters
Beam: 4.11 meters
Draft: 0.38 meters
Sleeps: 8
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet (head): available

You have been asking me for a long time to show you catamarans, but it was very difficult to find a decent and inexpensive one.

I won’t talk much about the advantages and disadvantages of twinhulls in general, but let’s talk about this particular boat.

Iroquois 30 is a pretty high–quality boats. In total, about 200 hulls were produced, and, according to some sources, 160-180 of them are still being exploited.

The boat is very seaworthy. You can go up to 15 knots, which is about 3 times more than mono-hull cruisers of a similar size.

Keel (not to be confused with false keel) was reinforced. The hull was repainted in 2017. A new mast from the Maxi 900, a new boom. The portholes have been updated.

There is a galley with a new Dometic stove and oven on a gimbal. The cushions look good. I would update the interior a little and add coziness to the cabin, but this is a matter of taste. There is also a heater in the cabin.

Sails: a mainsail with a cover, a staysail on a furling and an old, but working gennaker. The sheets and halyards are brought into the cockpit.

A Yamaha 9.9 hp outboard engine is installed on the boat. The engine was serviced annually, works well and can keep the speed of up to 6 knots even against the wind. There is a fuel tank for 60 liters.

Also, the boat has an autopilot, a VHF, an awning in the cockpit, an anchor with a chain, two bathing platforms, fenders, mooring lines and much more.

Friends, today we have a Maxi 95 with a Volvo Penta engine for 15 000 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 9.50 meters
Beam: 3.16 meters
Draft: 1.60 meters
Sleeps: 6
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet (head): available

The Maxi 95 is different from other boats of such size. It’s often called “the biggest little boat”.

The 31-foot has a separate aft cabin, a separate spacious toilet, a steering wheel and a cockpit that can comfortably accommodate up to 6-8 people.

Most of the wiring was replaced in 2021. The underwater part was painted last year. In 2020, the boat received a new Selden mast.

A large salon with a galley on the port side, equipped with a stove with an oven, a sink with fresh water (100L tank) and a refrigerator. A new Jabsco toilet has been installed.

A complete set of sails: a mainsail with a cover, a genoa on a furling, serviced in 2022 in a professional sailing workshop and a spinnaker with a sock. The sails are in good working condition.

The Volvo Penta MD 11C engine is serviced and preserved every year. The Maxi 95 boats have an unusual place of the engine room: it’s located under the table in the salon, so you have easy access to the engine from all sides, and this also has a positive effect on sail performance, thanks to the shift of the center of gravity closer to the middle.

The boat has useful equipment: an echo sounder, a wind force and direction meter, 1 starter battery and 2 house batteries, a solar panel with a regulator, a compass, VHF, fenders and much more.
