Turn-Key Sports Cruiser | Volvo 5.7L V8 | Extensive Mechanical Upgrades | Tender Included

Luxury Boat Sales QLD is proud to present this exceptionally well-maintained 2005 Mustang 2800 Series III, a quality Australian-built sports cruiser that perfectly combines performance, comfort and reliability.

Powered by the proven Volvo Penta 5.7L GI-E 300HP V8 coupled to a Volvo DuoProp sterndrive, this Mustang delivers effortless cruising, excellent fuel efficiency for its class and outstanding handling whether you're enjoying a day on the Broadwater or an overnight escape.

Unlike many vessels of this age, this Mustang has had well over $10,000 invested in recent mechanical maintenance and preventative servicing, giving its next owner exceptional peace of mind. Significant works include a replacement transom shield, new exhaust manifolds & risers, new Volvo Duo Prop set, steering system repairs, new alternator, new raw water pump, annual servicing and numerous electrical upgrades, making this one of the best-presented mechanical packages currently available.

Finished with a striking custom blue wrap over the original blue gelcoat hull, this Mustang presents beautifully and is ready to be enjoyed immediately.
