2003 legend boats 46 twin jet commercial

Built in Fremantle. Proven in New Zealand surf.

Legend Boat Builders built Nor'Wester in 2003. She was purpose-built for a cray fisherman at Castlepoint, on NZ's Wairarapa coast. It's an exposed coast with no harbour. Boats run in through "The Gap". Then they come ashore onto a trailer on the beach.

She was built for exactly that.

Twin Scania diesels drive twin Hamilton Jet 322 units. She cruises at 20 knots. She tops out at 36. Her draft is just 0.7m. Shallow reef, white water and beach launches are what she's made for.

She's a slightly smaller sister to the Legend boat Legionaire, built for the same fishery. Both are known as very good sea boats.

The current owner has used her privately. Her February 2026 midterm survey found her in excellent condition inside and out, with no significant defects. Her survey was renewed in August 2026. It now runs to October 2028.

She's ready to fish. She's ready to charter. She's ready to work.
