Inside This Week’s Boat & Marine Auctions – 34 Upcoming Sales inc Cruiser/Racers, Runabouts & Ex-Military Boats

This one’s got a bit of everything for the weekend warrior. The Sealegs amphibious boat is the headline act, a unit that can run on water and drive up onto the beach, which is a rare bit of engineering for Perth buyers. Alongside it, the Zodiac inflatables and outboard motors give you options if you’re after a lighter setup or need to repower something you’ve already got.

Campers and recreational vehicles round out the catalogue, so there’s plenty of scope for a buyer chasing a full off-grid setup or just a cheap towable for the school holidays. Ross regularly moves forfeited goods and business closure stock through this Welshpool site, so condition will vary, but the mix here leans towards usable gear rather than scrap. Bidding closes on 17 September, so get your inspection done early and factor in pickup from the complex.

Ross’s has put together a practical clearance from the Welshpool Complex on Orrong Road, pulling together stock that suits both marine trades and mine site maintenance crews. The lubricants component looks handy for anyone running regular service schedules, while the cooler packs and processing spares point to mining and industrial applications. It’s the kind of auction where you can grab usable gear in bulk, not just one-off oddments.

Standout lots are likely to be the mine processing spares, which often carry decent value for operators or parts suppliers, and the marine items, which could range from deck hardware to safety or engine components. The cooler packs are a straightforward pickup for anyone in food transport, events, or FIFO catering. Given the mix, it pays to scan the full catalogue and sort your shortlist early, because the useful stuff tends to get picked over quickly.

Buyers should factor in the Welshpool location for collection and check the condition notes on each lot before bidding. Ross’s runs regular auctions from this site, so the turnaround is efficient, but you want to be sure on freight or pickup logistics if you’re bidding from outside Perth.

The GTX155 is Sea-Doo’s mid-range performance model, and this 2016 example sits in the sweet spot of the brand’s lineup. It’s not the fire-breathing 230hp version, but the 155hp four-stroke is plenty for towing a tube or carving up a river, and it’s a lot easier on fuel than the bigger motors.

Grays has this listed as an individual boat lot, meaning it’s not bundled with trailers or other gear, so you’ll need to factor in transport and possibly a trailer if you’re not local to Jandakot. Check the condition report closely for service history and any signs of saltwater use, as these skis are often run hard and stored poorly.

The GTX155 was a popular hire-fleet model, so if this one’s ex-rental, look for wear on the seat, handlebars, and hull. The closed-loop cooling system is a plus for longevity, and parts are easy to source through dealers or online. If the price stays sensible, this could be a tidy entry into jet skiing without the new-bike sting.

The Sunseeker Renegade 60 is the headline act here, a proper offshore cruiser that doesn’t muck about. Sunseeker’s Renegade line is known for sharp handling and a deep-V hull, so this isn’t just a floating apartment. Expect twin diesel power, a spacious cockpit for entertaining, and cabins that make overnight trips feel civilised. If the boat’s been looked after, it’s a lot of boat for the money compared to buying new from a dealer.

Grays is running this as part of a broader watercraft sale, so the surrounding lots are worth a scroll too. You’ll likely find personal watercraft and smaller runabouts sitting alongside the big cruiser. That mix means it’s worth checking the full catalogue before you commit, especially if you’re after a tow-behind toy rather than the main event.

Buyers should factor in inspection and transport from Jandakot. A boat this size isn’t a trailer job, so sort out haulage and slip fees before you bid. Also, check the condition report carefully, particularly the engines and drives, because marine servicing costs add up fast. If the Sunseeker’s been maintained, it’ll be a strong buy, but do your homework on service history if it’s available.

These GTX 255s are the ones buyers chase for their combination of comfort and grunt. The 255hp Rotax supercharged engine gives strong top-end speed, while the ST3 hull handles rough water better than older Sea-Doo platforms. If the hour meters are reasonable, these are solid weekender skis that’ll hold value.

Grays is running this as part of a broader marine clearance, so expect powerboats and other watercraft listed alongside. Check the condition reports carefully, especially for wear on the jet pumps and any signs of saltwater corrosion. Service history matters here, so ask for it if it’s not in the listing.

Bidding is via Grays’ usual online format, with the close date still to be confirmed. If you’re in Perth, Jandakot is an easy pickup, but factor in transport costs if you’re coming from further afield. Bring a trailer with the right width rating, these are wide hulls.

The marine lots are the clear drawcard here, with a spread from a practical 1969 Quintrex 4mlg to the 8.5-metre 1980 Yamaha Centre Cabin Cruiser. There’s also a 1996 Blaxell Surfrider paired with a Mercury 200hp stern drive, a fibreglass runabout with a 115hp Mercury, and a Waterways runabout around 14-16ft. If you want a bigger project, the sailing vessel is listed as a project, so factor in time and money before bidding.

On the camping and towing side, the 2023 Mars Campers Space XL is the newest item and likely to draw attention, while the 1988 Coronet caravan offers a more budget-friendly option. The 1995 Toyota Coaster HZB50R shows 330,354km on the clock, so it’s a working bus rather than a show pony, but it could suit a conversion or site runabout. A 2016 Stirling SE and a 2026 Green Pty Ltd car trailer round out the towables.

Lloyds runs this as a multi-lot online auction, so you’re bidding against the clock on each item individually. Check the condition reports and photos carefully, especially on the older hulls and the caravan, as there’s no on-site inspection mentioned. Bid on what you’ve researched, not what looks like a bargain at a glance.

The Cleveland is a purpose-built pilot vessel from a respected Australian builder, Norman Wright, and it’s offered as a single-lot EOI. That means the sale isn’t a straightforward timed auction, buyers need to lodge their best offer by the close date of 28 September 2026. For anyone who knows pilot boats, these are built for rough water, quick transfers, and heavy duty, so this isn’t a weekend toy.

Details beyond the hull are thin, but the Norman Wright name carries weight in commercial circles, and a vessel of this type will have serious running gear, decent accommodation, and the kind of sea-keeping you can’t get from a trailer boat. The location is listed as Island Plantation, near Townsville, so it’s worth factoring in transport costs if you’re not local.

If you’re chasing a commercial-grade vessel without paying new-build money, this one’s worth a close look. Get your inspection sorted early, because an EOI process means you need to put your best foot forward the first time.

This is a proper project finished properly. The 2018 full rebuild is the headline here, so you’re not inheriting someone else’s half-done fibreglass drama. The boat and trailer are described as being in very good condition, which for a near-40-year-old Haines Hunter says a lot. These hulls are sought after for a reason, they handle rough water better than most tinny options at this price point.

The auctioneer is pushing for an inspection before you bid, which is smart advice. Check the transom, check the trailer bearings, and give the wiring a once-over, but the heavy lifting on the rebuild has already been done. Bidding opens on Thursday, 24 September and runs through to 2pm AEST on Wednesday, 30 September. If you want a classic Australian runabout without paying resto prices, this is the one to measure up.

The Duncanson 34 is a well-regarded Australian-built cruiser, and this example from 1983 is now heading to online auction. The listing points to a comprehensive fit-out, so prospective buyers should be checking the condition of the standing rigging, sails, and engine before bidding opens. Inspection is highly recommended, and the boat is currently moored at Runaway Bay on the Gold Coast, so arrange a viewing while you can.

Bidding kicks off on Thursday, 24 September 2026 and runs through to Wednesday, 30 September 2026, closing at 2pm AEST. Given the age of the vessel, the real value here will be in the gear that comes with it, so factor in the cost of any replacement sails or electronics when you’re working out your number. Don’t assume anything about the state of the hull or keel from the photos alone, get down there and have a proper poke around.

This is a serious bit of kit for anyone after a proven offshore performer. The Marten 49 is a New Zealand-built Bruce Farr design, known for stiff, light construction and a powerful sail plan. It’s not a dock queen; this one has been set up to race hard and cruise comfortably, so you’re getting a genuine dual-purpose boat.

The vendor has kept it in solid nick, and the auctioneer is pushing hard for a pre-sale inspection. Given the condition and the fact the owners are motivated, there could be a decent result for the buyer who does their homework. Check the rig, sails and electronics before the close, and factor in a Gold Coast pickup.

If you’re in the market for a fast, capable 49-footer that’s ready to go, this is worth a look. The online format means you can bid from anywhere, but the recommendation stands: get on board before the 30th and see exactly what you’re buying.

This is a proper offshore-capable yacht, built in steel and rigged for shorthanded passage-making. The Roberts 33 design is well-regarded for its sea-kindly motion and sturdy construction, and this example has been set up for serious cruising rather than marina living. The cutter rig means a staysail and jib setup, which gives you flexibility in heavy weather, and steel construction offers peace of mind if you’re planning to push offshore.

The boat is being sold through the Public Trustee, which often means an estate sale, so expect a realistic price guide and no sentimental reserve. It’s currently berthed at Monty’s Marina, Caboolture, which is worth factoring into your logistics if you’re coming from outside south-east Queensland. Check the hull for any pitting or weld repairs, and give the rigging a close look, but for a buyer chasing a budget bluewater boat, this one has real potential.

Bidding starts 24 September and closes 30 September at 2pm AEST. Get your surveyor organised early if you’re serious, because an unreserved auction on a steel yacht of this calibre will draw attention from both cruisers and liveaboard types.

This Quintrex is the classic Freedom Sport layout, meaning a wide, stable alloy hull with plenty of room to move. The 520 series is known for its smooth ride in choppy conditions, and the open cockpit suits casting or just cruising. If the original Yamaha four-stroke is still paired with it, you’re looking at a reliable, fuel-sipping setup that holds value well.

It’s part of a broader watercraft clearance from Grays, so expect a mix of powerboats, jet skis, and other towables in the same sale. That’s worth knowing if you’re after a bargain on a second boat or a first rig, because bidding on a single lot like this can sometimes fly under the radar compared to a full fleet auction. Check the photos for hull condition, especially around the transom and bungs, and confirm the trailer’s rego status before you commit.

If you’re in southeast Queensland, Pinkenba pickup is straightforward, but factor in a tow vehicle and any safety gear you’ll need to get it home. The close date is still listed as TBC, so keep checking the listing for the countdown.

The Polaris MSX140 was a serious bit of kit in its day, with a 1.4-litre engine pushing decent top-end speed for a ski this age. It’s part of a broader watercraft disposal from Grays, sitting alongside other powerboats and jetskis in the same rolling sale. Check the condition report closely before bidding, as these units often show wear from saltwater use, and parts for Polaris skis can be harder to source than the usual Yamaha or Sea-Doo stuff. If the impeller and hull check out, it’s a cheap entry into jet skiing. The auction’s close date is still listed as TBC, so keep an eye on the listing for the countdown. Pickup will be from Pinkenba, so factor in trailer hire or transport if you’re coming from further afield.

The Ranger 44 has a solid reputation as a bluewater cruiser, and this 1990 example is being offered from Redcliffe Marina. The online auction runs for a week, ending at 2pm AEST on Wednesday, 30 September 2026, so there’s time to arrange a physical inspection before you commit. Given the age and the fact it’s a private-style sale through a marine auction house, you’d be smart to check the hull, engines, and electrics yourself.

Flybridge cruisers of this size are a niche buy. You’re not chasing a weekend runabout here, this is a boat built for longer stints, with the accommodation and deck space to match. The absence of a detailed lot list means the condition is the main variable, and that’s exactly why the inspection is being flagged as highly recommended. If you know Rangers, you’ll know the build quality, but a 36-year-old boat will have its own history, so factor that into your bidding.

No close date has been locked in yet, but the auction schedule is set. Mark the calendar, get down to Redcliffe if you can, and bid with your eyes open.

The owner is based in the UK and wants this sold, so inspection is highly recommended before bidding starts. The boat itself is located in Yamba, New South Wales, not Brisbane, so factor in transport if you’re buying from further afield.

Bidding opens Tuesday, 25 August 2026 and closes Monday, 31 August 2026 at 2pm AEST. Given the vendor’s location and the need for a clean sale, this one should attract attention from anyone looking for a proven bluewater cruiser without the usual dealer hold. Check the lot list for the full gear inventory, but expect a turnkey setup for coastal or offshore passages.

This is a serious bit of fibreglass for anyone chasing a liveaboard or offshore weekender without spending seven figures. The 640 Santego layout gives you a full flybridge helm, spacious saloon, and multiple cabins, so it’s suited to families or groups. The auctioneer notes the vessel is located in Port Douglas, which means it’s already in prime cruising water for the reef or coastal runs.

Bidding opens Thursday 23 July 2026 and closes Wednesday 29 July 2026 at 2pm AEST. Inspection is highly recommended given the age of the boat and the value of systems like the generator and air con. If the engines and drives check out, this could be a cost-effective way into a big American cruiser. No reserve price is stated, so the final figure will depend on bidder interest.

If you’re after a trailer without the showroom price, this one’s worth a look. The lot list is all new stock, which means no wear-and-tear guesswork. The 2026 cattle trailer is the headline act, built for moving stock with a galvanised finish that’ll handle the weather. The 2026 tipper cage trailer is a solid pick for tradies or anyone shifting loose loads, with the tipping action saving your back on the job.

The 2025 boat trailer is heavy-duty and galvanised, so it’s ready for saltwater launches, while the flat trailer covers the basics for general hauling. All are unused, so condition is as good as it gets. With only 10 lots up, the range is tight but practical. Auction close date is still to be confirmed, so check the listing closer to the time. If you need a specific size or setup, the lot descriptions are your friend here. No surprises with secondhand wear, just new gear waiting for a buyer who doesn’t want to pay retail.

The Mariner 31 is a well-regarded Aussie-built flybridge cruiser, and this example is being offered as a single lot among a broader run of powerboats, jet skis, and watercraft. If you’re after a weekend boat with standing headroom, a flybridge helm for spotting, and a cabin that actually sleeps a crew, this layout delivers.

Check the lot listing for engine hours, service history, and any known faults, because with a boat this size, the mechanicals matter more than the gelcoat. Grays runs these as timed listings, so get your inspection sorted early if you’re serious. Brooklyn’s a working waterway, so you can likely arrange a look without too much hassle, but confirm access times with the auction house before you rock up.

The X26S is a serious bit of kit for offshore work, built for rough water with a deep-vee alloy hull. Grays has listed it as a single boat lot, so you’re not wading through a mixed clearance here. Given it’s a 2023 model, it should still be under warranty if the paperwork’s in order, and alloy construction means less corrosion drama than glass boats of the same age.

Look closely at the listing photos for the outboard brand and hours, plus whether it comes with a bunk trailer and any electronics like sounder or GPS. The X26S typically suits serious fishos or divers who want a stable platform, not a ski toy. If the engine hours are low and the hull’s clean, this could be a solid buy, but factor in transport costs from Newport if you’re not local. Grays rolling auctions close when the timer runs out, so have your max number ready and don’t get caught in a last-minute bidding war.

This one’s a bit of a punt, and that’s exactly the appeal. The listing gives you nothing on the make or model, so you’re buying on condition and price alone. For a buyer comfortable with a bit of risk, that often means less competition and a sharper final figure. The trailer is included, which saves you the hassle of sourcing one separately.

Given the rolling format, you’ll need to check the listing yourself for the current bid and close timing, as Grays runs these lots on their own schedule. If you’re handy with fibreglass or just want a cheap way onto the water, this could be your entry point. Just factor in a thorough inspection if the photos leave you guessing, and don’t assume anything about the engine or hull until you’ve seen it in person.

The Hydrolift X32S is a proper offshore rig, built for rough water and long runs. With a 2023 build, it’s still close to new, which matters for electronics, engine hours, and hull condition. Grays is running this as part of a broader watercraft clearance, so if you’re after a jet ski or a smaller powerboat, there’s likely more than just this hull to consider.

For the X32S itself, check the fit-out details in the listing photos and any service records. These boats typically come with a serious outboard setup, and the centre cab layout gives you 360-degree access when you’re chasing pelagics or working baits. The Newport location means it’s probably been used in Pittwater or offshore Sydney, so look for saltwater corrosion on the trailer and any signs of hard use around the transom.

If you’re serious, get your inspection sorted before the close date is confirmed. Grays rolling auctions can move fast once the timer starts, so have your max figure in mind and don’t get caught bidding blind on a boat this size.

This is a standalone motor lot, so you’re not lumped in with a whole boat you don’t want. The Honda 150 VTec is a proven four-stroke workhorse, known for smooth running and decent fuel economy, making it a strong option for repowering a trailer boat or replacing a tired two-stroke.

Grays Online has grouped this with other marine gear in the same sale, so if you’re after a complete setup, there are likely hulls and jet skis nearby. Check the motor’s hours and service history before bidding, as outboards this size can hide expensive maintenance if neglected. The close date is yet to be confirmed, so keep checking the listing for updates.

The Stacer Seaway 429 is a no-frills aluminium tinnie that suits estuary fishing, river runs, or a first boat. The 2016 model is well into its service life, so the condition and hours will be the main call. Check the photos for scuffs, corrosion around the transom, and how the floor has held up.

Beyond this boat, the auction covers a spread of recreational watercraft. If you’re chasing a ski or a smaller tinny, it’s worth scanning the full lot list. Grays runs these as timed online sales, so you’ll need to register and bid before the close date, which is yet to be confirmed. Factor in pickup logistics from Yorklea, and inspect anything you’re serious about.

This is a proper 31-footer, not a tinny. The AmberJack was Sea Ray’s answer to a weekender that still handles like a driver’s boat, and this 2000 model shows the era’s chunky lines and practical layout. Grays has it listed as a single lot in their watercraft roster, so you’re bidding on this hull alone, not a mixed lot of jetskis and runabouts.

Check the listing photos for engine hours and hull condition, because at this age, the outdrives and transom are where the money hides. The cabin gives you a berth and basic galley, so it’s a genuine overnighter, not just a day tripper. If you’re after a project with bones, or a ready-to-launch cruiser if it’s been looked after, this one’s worth a close look.

Patterson Lakes is a canal estate with easy access to Port Phillip, so test runs are straightforward if you get in touch with the auctioneer. Grays runs these listings on their standard timed close, so don’t expect a set date yet. Factor in a marine survey if you’re serious, and check the trailer situation, it’s not always included.

The Caribbean Sandpiper is a solid entry point for anyone chasing a project boat or a budget-friendly runabout. Grays has it as a standalone lot, which means you’re not forced to bundle it with other gear. That’s handy if you’ve already got a trailer or motor sorted and just want the hull.

Beyond the Sandpiper, the wider catalogue pulls in a mix of powerboats and jet skis, so there’s likely something for different budgets and skill levels. Check the photos carefully for condition, as these watercraft can vary from tidy to needing work. Since the close date is still to be confirmed, it’s worth refreshing the listing closer to the end to lock in your bidding window. If you’re local to Dandenong South, inspection is your friend here, especially for anything with an outboard or jet unit.

The Sportscraft V15 is a solid entry-level tinny-style boat, built for calm-water cruising or a spot of estuary fishing. It’s the kind of rig that suits a first-time buyer or someone wanting a cheap weekender without the hassle of a full-size trailer sailer. Check the lot photos carefully for hull condition and any wear on the transom or floor, as these older V15s can cop a bit of abuse.

Grays has this listed as part of an ongoing watercraft clearance, so expect the usual mix of outboard-powered runabouts and personal watercraft to cycle through alongside it. If you’re chasing a specific brand or motor size, keep checking the lot list as the close date firms up. For now, this Sportscraft is a straightforward, no-frills option if you just want to get on the water without spending big.

The Ranger 47 is a proper offshore cruiser, not a weekend tinny. You’re looking at a flybridge layout that gives you command up top and decent accommodation below, which makes it a realistic option for extended trips along the coast or island hopping. It’s a single-lot listing within a broader Grays Online watercraft sale, so expect the usual mix of powerboats and personal watercraft to come through alongside it.

Check the photos and any service history carefully, as is standard for a boat of this age and size. The flybridge means extra maintenance points, so look at the canopy, electronics, and engine hours before bidding. If you’re serious, factor in transport from Ulverstone, because this isn’t a trailer-sailer you can just hitch up and go. The auction close date is still listed as TBC, so keep checking back for the countdown.
