For buyers in the market looking for fuel efficiency, versatility and a well-proven platform for cray fishing, droplining and longlining we highly recommend an inspection of the FV Tahnee B. This vessel is in excellent condition and is meticulously maintained by the owner / operator. At $365,000 (+GST) this is very good buying for a vessel in this condition and versatility.
The FV Tahnee B is a 16m Steel Aft Wheelhouse Vessel currently deep-set bottom longlining from the Port of Eden in NSW. The Vessel has excellent sea-going capability with a significant draft of 2.6m and effective bilge keels making the vessel a safe and stable platform for working southern sea-states.
The current owner has been fastidious in the improvement and upkeep of the Vessel with the engine room and equipment in excellent working order and condition. Recent upgrades and maitenance items to the vessel include a new stern tube, shaft bearing and drip seal installed in 2022, new aluminium doors installed throughout the Vessel, new cannisters installed in a recent fire suppression system upgrade, a new Genset (32 KVA) installed in early 2023 and the auxiliary engine replaced new in 2019.
The Vessel is versatile and suitable for many applications with a large main fish room currently holding 10 Tonne of refirgerated recirculating water. The main room could be converted to holding live fish (Coral Trout) or Rock Lobster and / or remain a refigerated brine for premium market fish. The fwd room is curently used to hold 200 x NSW Fish Bins, is insulated and would make an ideal freezer for other applications.
The FV Tahnee B is in AMSA 3B Survey with Crew x 4 and next shaft survey due in 2026. Please call Christian Pyke on 0428 233 200 with all enquiries.
