Friends, today we have a Maxi 95 with a new 2012 Vetus engine for just 7,250 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 9.50 meters
Beam: 3.20 meters
Draft: 1.55 meters
Sleeps: 6
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet (head): available

Looks like one of the best offers in recent times. The market price for these boats in Scandinavia is usually 2-3 times higher.

The Maxi 95 is perhaps one of the most spacious 31-foot boats. Large cockpit that can comfortably accommodate up to eight people. Double aft-cabin with an entrance through the cockpit. Separate spacious toilet.

Full set of sails: mainsail with a cover and a genoa on a furling with a cover. The photo shows a spinnaker boom, perhaps there is also a spinnaker.

A new Vetus 2012 diesel engine is installed on the boat. The total cost of the engine with the installation is almost 15k euros! By the way, another “kicker” of the Maxi 95 is the engine located under the table in the salon. This way you have access to the engine from all sides in case of repair or maintenance. Also, this arrangement of the engine shifts the center of gravity and the boat drags less water with its stern.

There is also a lot of useful equipment on the boat: chartplotter, autopilot, Wallas heater in the salon and aft-cabin, echo sounder, VHF, anchor with anchor winch at the bow, second anchor at the stern, new sprayhood and bimini and much more.

Of course, there are some disadvantages on a boat with such a big discount. The owner speaks honestly about them in the ad.

Firstly, I would make cosmetic repairs in the salon and update the wooden elements. You also need to paint the underwater part. There is a small leak in one of the portholes, you need to put it back on the sealant. In general, there is nothing complicated, you just need to invest a little time and love 🙂

Galley with everything you need. There is a stove, sink and refrigerator. There is a Wallas heater in the cabin, but there are some small problems with it. You should look.

The boat has a fresh 2003 Lombardini diesel engine with a power of 28 hp. This is a pretty powerful engine for this size, which works quietly and economically. The operating time of the engine is only 580 hours.

There is a bowsprit with an anchor on the bow. The second anchor is at the stern. The sprayhood and cockpit awning are in good condition. A teak is laid in the cockpit. A bathing ladder and fender holders are installed on the stern.

The owner honestly says that the boat has a small problem: two portholes leak a little. It is necessary to put it on a new sealant. Nothing complicated, but you will need to dig deeper.
