Description
Motivated Seller, open to offers & trades.
Crafted by the renowned Norman Wright & Sons shipyard in Brisbane, Weapon stands as a testament to superior Australian boatbuilding. This iconic 63' custom game fishing boat is the pinnacle of long-range offshore capability, performance, and pedigree.
A true bluewater warrior, Weapon has confidently fished both East and West coasts of Australia and returned across the bottom of the country in 2020. Her exceptional seakeeping is thanks to a warped hull design with variable deadrise, delivering a soft, dry ride and impressive stability. A flared Carolina bow ensures superior spray deflection and lift in challenging conditions--performance proven time and again on Australia's most demanding game fishing grounds.
Powered by twin 1350hp MTU Series 2000 V12s, she cruises at 24 knots and reaches a top speed of 32 knots, offering a 600Nm range at cruise (with 10% reserve). With full AMSA 2C Survey now completed, Weapon is perfectly suited for serious private adventures or commercial charter operations--particularly during the North Queensland heavy tackle season. This classification not only enhances her versatility as a charter-ready game fishing vessel but also offers significant advantages to owners, including potential revenue generation and increased resale appeal.
Her fitout is world-class, with high-end Miele and Gaggenau appliances, a 4-cabin, 6 to 8-berth layout (plus saloon berths), and two generous heads each with separate showers. Every inch of her interior reflects quality craftsmanship and functional luxury.
Whilst being launched in 1999, Weapon underwent a major refit at Norman Wright in 2022, including comprehensive cosmetic, structural, and electrical upgrades. Highlights include a new custom flybridge console, complete Furuno electronics suite with searchlight sonar and radar, updated galley appliances, teak refinishing, underwater lighting, upgraded safety systems, and a new 22.5kVA Onan genset (250hrs). She's turn-key ready for serious fishing and extended cruising.
Meticulously maintained by passionate owners, there is nothing to spend. From her well-laid-out engine room to her extensive refit list, Weapon is a rare opportunity to own a legendary game boat in exceptional condition.
If you're drawn to timeless design, unmatched build quality, and offshore pedigree, register your interest with the professional team at Leigh-Smith Yachts today.
