The ultimate fishing vessel is now available for her next owner! This stunning Elite 9 has been meticulously designed to meet every requirement, with no detail overlooked. She exemplifies Kiwi craftsmanship in boat building.

Multiple videos showcase this exact boat in action and provide walkthrough reviews.

Herley specializes in crafting boats that not only look fantastic on the water but are also over-engineered, well-built, and multifunctional. Whether you're a dedicated angler or planning a family outing, she handles it all with ease.

Powered by twin Yamaha 300s, she reaches impressive speeds. Jacking plates have been added for enhanced trim, and docking is effortless with joystick control.

Her plumb bow maximizes waterline efficiency, while the relatively flat aft section ensures stability. With an expansive cockpit, fishing is a breeze, featuring multiple rod storage options, a pivoting bait board, easy access to a large live well, significant underfloor storage, and a separate kill tank with an upgraded macerator pump capable of cutting through braid.

The cockpit includes comfortable pull-out seats that optimize space, along with a drop-down bench complete with a coffee machine which is just above the inbuilt icemaker! Just inside the door, you’ll also find a pie oven. While fishing, you can check the cockpit-mounted Garmin screen and the upgraded sonar or pivot the TV from the saloon to catch the game. If the waters get too choppy while you wait for a bite, simply activate the Quick Gyro for a smoother ride.

Access is made easy with a large side door integrated into a platform that lowers to just above the waterline. The bait board pivots from the centre to starboard, allowing convenient access from the rear deck.

From the cockpit, you can fully open the bifold doors and the bifold window above the drop-down bench, creating an exceptional indoor-outdoor atmosphere. The functional saloon features a fridge with freezer, TV, induction cooktop, sink, and a table that lowers to create an additional bed. There’s ample underfloor storage just ahead of the substantial 400Ah Li-ion battery.

The upgraded stereo, complete with an amplifier and subwoofer, features flush-mounted Alderwood speakers in the saloon, delivering outstanding sound quality.

At the helm, you’ll find everything you need to feel like the captain. The large Garmin screen is integrated into the boat's systems, providing access to all controls. Notably, the boat is equipped with Czone and a monitoring system called Sentinel, allowing for remote monitoring and control of various services.

Beyond the helm, down two steps, you'll discover two single bunks on either side, complete with privacy screens, reading lights, and Sirocco fans. Purpose-built rod storage is located under the bunks, and the hull is lined for a polished finish. The head features full head height, an electric toilet, and a wash basin.

With her deep blue painted hull and white superstructure—matching the pearl white of the Yamahas—she truly stands out on the water. This boat has been built without sparing any expense and is being offered at a fraction of her replacement cost. Inspections are highly recommended!
