Introducing the Nissan “PFA780SFB,” launched and registered in April 1993 (Heisei 5). This vessel features a 26-foot-class hull and a rare flying bridge.The boat can be operated from two locations—above the cabin and inside the cabin. Standing on the flying bridge provides a higher vantage point, allowing you to spot schools of fish, current lines, and shoals sooner than from below. You can choose to use the lower helm for rough weather or long-distance cruising, and the upper helm when drifting while searching for fish. In addition, it features a private marine toilet separated by a door and a vanity with a mirror. Few boats in this class offer these amenities. This boat helps avoid the frustration of having a fishing trip canceled because a family member says, “I don’t want to go on a boat without a toilet.” It also has a V-berth and a galley, making it suitable for staying overnight before an early morning departure. [Storage Fees Are Determined by “Registered Length”] The length listed on the vessel inspection certificate (registered length) is 6.96 m. This is not the actual measured length of the hull but a value calculated according to regulations; the actual hull is in the 26-ft class.Many marinas categorize storage fees based on registered length; in such cases, this boat falls into the under-7-meter category. While sailing a boat of the same size, you may be able to reduce your annual storage fees by one tier. Since the criteria for these categories vary by marina, please check with the facility you plan to use. ■ Operating Hours & Major Equipment Hour Meter: 1,629.8 hours (as indicated by the display built into the Volvo Penta tachometer). Built in 1993, with an average of approximately 50 hours per year, this vessel falls into the category of having been used relatively little for its age. Main Engine: Volvo Penta KAD42A (170 PS, diesel / turbocharger + supercharger). The serial number on the engine nameplate matches the entry in the vessel inspection certificate, confirming the engine’s authentic origin. RPM Range Usage: This engine features two-stage supercharging with a supercharger and a turbocharger. Around 2,500–3,000 RPM, the supercharging switches to the turbocharger, allowing for a smooth and responsive power delivery at higher RPMs. Continuous maximum: 3,200 RPM; maximum: 3,900 RPM.The cruising speed of 2,500 rpm falls right at the start of this range. Speed and Fuel Efficiency (based on the owner’s experience): With two people on board, the maximum speed is 29 knots, and cruising speed is 22–23 knots at 2,500 rpm. Fuel consumption is approximately 40 liters per hour.With a fuel tank capacity of around 360 liters, you can head out to sea without worrying about refueling intervals. Drive System: Volvo Penta DP Drive (DuoProp = dual counter-rotating propellers, one forward and one aft / reduction ratio 1.78:1).Since lateral forces are counteracted, the boat maintains a smooth, straight course, making it easy to master docking and undocking maneuvers in the harbor—a combination that allows even a single person to dock with ease. Main Equipment: Two stations (flying bridge and lower helm), one hydraulic trim tab on each side, SeaStar steering,MORSE CONTROLS single lever, BONPET automatic fire suppression system, emergency manual shift lever, private marine toilet, washbasin, galley (stainless steel sink), fresh water tank + Jabsco water supply pump, inverter (AC 100V), rod holders, and more ■ Major Maintenance History ・Reiwa 8 (2026): Fuel filter replaced ・Coolant sub-tank cap replaced ・Drive propeller replaced with a B5 ■ Current Status The vessel’s inspection is valid for more than two years.After the sale is finalized, you’ll only need to complete the ownership transfer procedures; you can start sailing this season without incurring inspection costs. Condition: As expected for its age, there are some scuffs and minor scratches on the FRP surface, as well as slight rust on metal parts.Points to disclose: There is a crack in the flying bridge windshield (acrylic); there are signs of deformation and repair on the port side gunwale near the center; and there are cracks and chips in the ventilation duct (black resin). Details regarding each area are noted in the photo captions, so please refer to them as well. Please note that the GPS fish finder, radio, two Lark rod holders, one rod holder, and my personal fishing gear will be removed by the seller prior to delivery. These items are not included, so please be aware. This boat is currently stored on land in Hokkaido. Since it is out of the water, you can directly inspect the hull and drive unit—the areas of greatest concern with used boats—before purchasing. Please make an appointment in advance to view the boat. I will be present during the viewing, so please contact me by phone or email to arrange a date and time. We will assist you with the procedures for transferring ownership (transfer of small vessel registration).
