Hope

LAUNCH YEAR: 1968
LENGTH: 19'
DESIGNER: Tony Mason
BUILDER: Sutton Mason
OWNER: Hamish Coney

Hope is a delightful example of a Mason Marauder still powered by the 160HP Mercruiser originally fitted.

She is a 1968 double skin kauri hull Mason Marauder. She has been extensively restored but is very original. She still is powered by a 1968 160hp Mercruiser.
Hamish thinks that he is the fourth or fifth owner. The previous owner told him that she spent a lot of time in the South Island round Wanaka. He has recently had her hull completely sorted and repainted.
The previous owner did a lot of work on the decks, cabin interior and detailing. Hamish grew up at Lake Rotoiti with their family boat Undine being a 17ft Max Carter design. At one stage there were about 3 similar boats on the lake.
