Inside This Week’s Boat & Marine Auctions – 34 Upcoming Sales inc Searay Sundancer, Quintrex Runabouts & Horizon Runabout

This individual boat lot is part of a larger Grays Online auction series covering powerboats, jet skis, and watercraft. The Searay Sundancer is a popular choice for weekend cruising and longer trips, with cabin space that sets it apart from smaller runabouts.

The 2005 model year puts this in the later production run of the classic Sundancer design. Buyers should check the listing for engine hours, service history, and any included electronics or canvas. As a rolling auction, the closing date is yet to be confirmed, so it pays to monitor the listing for updates on when bidding will end.

This is a single-lot listing from Grays Online’s ongoing marine sale, which also covers powerboats, jet skis, and watercraft. The 2013 Horizon runabout is a practical recreational boat, likely suited for inland waters or coastal cruising. It comes with a 60hp four-stroke outboard, a solid choice for reliable running and fuel economy, plus the Dunbier trailer for easy transport.

Buyers should inspect the lot for condition, as rolling auctions often sell gear as-is. Check the hull for wear, the outboard service history, and the trailer’s registration status. With no set close date yet, you have time to do your homework before bidding opens.

This Cobalt 262 is a serious bit of fibreglass. It’s a bowrider built for family days on the water or pulling a skier. The 2012 model carries the brand’s reputation for a high-end finish and a deep-V hull that handles chop better than most runabouts.

Check the lot listing for engine hours, powerplant details, and overall condition. Given it’s a single lot from a larger watercraft auction, you’ll want to inspect the trailer and any ancillary gear included. The auction is live now, so have your registration ready and bid when you’re confident.

This is a single-lot listing for a well-known Aussie tinnie, the Quintrex 460 Coast Runner. It features a centre console layout, making it a solid choice for fishing or bay cruising. The 60hp Yamaha gives it enough punch for estuary work or a run to the islands on a calm day.

The Dunbier trailer is included, which saves you the hassle of sourcing one separately. Check the listing for the engine hours and the overall condition of the hull and transom. If you need a ready-to-go package, this is a straightforward buy.

This is a near-new personal watercraft from the current generation of Seadoo’s performance lineup. The RXP XRS is built for speed and handling, featuring the closed-loop cooling system, intelligent brake and reverse, and the extended-range fuel tank. It also comes with the premium audio system and a custom colour-matched trailer.

Buyers should confirm the exact hours and service history before bidding. Given it’s a single lot from Grays’ ongoing marine rolling auction, there may be other boats and jet skis closing at the same time. Check the listing for the final close date and any buyer’s premium or registration fees that apply.

This is a near-new pontoon from Brinovo Marine, a brand known for practical family boats. The 2024 model comes with a 40hp outboard motor, making it ideal for lake or river cruising. The pontoon deck offers plenty of space for passengers and gear, with a bimini top for shade.

Buyers should check the listing for exact engine hours and any accessories included. As a single-boat lot from Grays’ ongoing watercraft sales, it avoids the hassle of a multi-lot auction. The close date is yet to be confirmed, so keep checking back for the countdown.

This is a straight-up marine engine clearance from ex-government stock, and the numbers are worth a close look. Five of the Scania DI16 42M 16.4L V8 twin turbo diesel engines are listed, which is a serious powerplant for commercial or large recreational vessels. There are also two sets of Yamaha outboards: one pair of 115Hp four-stroke counter rotating units, and another pair of 250Hp counter rotating outboards.

On top of the complete engines, the auction includes a QuickShift Twin Disc MGX-5135SC marine transmission with a crate of engine components, plus a pallet and a crate of assorted engine parts. If you are repowering a boat or need spares for a government-spec vessel, this is a concentrated lot of high-value gear. The auction closes on 23 July 2026, so there is time to inspect. Head to the Milperra site to look over the stock before bidding.

This is a near-new 4.4-metre side console from Quintrex, built in 2023. It’s a Renegade model, which means a tough pressed-alloy hull designed for inshore and estuary work. The centre console setup gives you 360-degree walkaround space, making it a solid choice for fishing or family cruising.

The boat comes with a trailer, so it’s ready to tow away. Given it’s a single lot from Grays’ ongoing marine clearance, you’re dealing with a straightforward purchase: no bundled gear, no surplus junk. Check the listing for engine details and hours, as Quintrex typically pairs these with a 40-60hp outboard. If the motor matches the hull’s age, you’re looking at a low-hour package that would cost thousands more from a dealer.

This Stessco Skipper 450DLX is a solid entry-level trailer boat with a deep-V alloy hull, designed for stability and durability. It comes as a single lot from Grays’ ongoing marine sale, which also includes other powerboats, jet skis, and watercraft. The 2014 model year means it’s modern enough for reliable electronics and fittings, but priced to undercut a dealer lot.

Buyers should inspect the hull for scrapes or corrosion on the alloy, especially if it’s been used in saltwater. Check the trailer registration and tyre condition, as these are common extra costs on auction boats. With no reserve listed, the final price depends entirely on bidding activity. If you’re after a lightweight runabout for weekend trips, this one deserves a close look before the auction closes.

This is a well-known model for coastal cruising and bay running. The Sunrunner 3700 has a solid fibreglass hull and a full galley with fridge, stove, and microwave. The lot includes a cockpit with a bimini top, a separate shower and toilet, and a sounder/GPS combo unit.

No motor or trailer is included, so factor in transport and any necessary refit work. If you need a basic steel barge and can handle a bit of elbow grease, this one is worth a look.

This is a rare piece of early 20th century boatbuilding. The 22-foot launch features a traditional timber hull, custom-built in 1920. It carries the character and craftsmanship you don’t see in modern production boats.

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.

This is a serious offshore cruiser, not a weekend tinny. The Hunt Cruiser 36 is built for bluewater work with a deep-vee hull that handles sloppy seas better than most. Inspection is highly recommended, because with an owner-motivated sale like this, the price should reflect a quick transaction.

The auctioneer, marine, hasn’t listed specific gear yet, but the 36-foot format typically includes a reliable inboard diesel, full electronics, and liveaboard accommodation. Buyers should factor in a pre-bid survey and a sea trial if possible. The Gold Coast location means easy access for Queensland buyers, and the online format opens the field to interstate bidders.

Given the "must be sold" tag, the reserve is likely set to move the boat. If you are in the market for a capable ocean cruiser without a long private sale negotiation, this one is worth a close look.

This is a genuine unreserved auction, meaning the highest bidder takes it regardless of price. The Swanson 36 is a well-regarded Australian cruiser, and this example has been kept in the water with regular use. The lot includes a full inventory of sails, a Garmin chartplotter, and a VHF radio.

Inspection is highly recommended before bidding closes on Wednesday, 29 July 2026 at 2pm AEST. Given the age and the no-reserve condition, the final price could be well below market value for a boat of this size and capability. Buyers should factor in a thorough survey and any necessary refit work.

This is a genuine piece of Queensland maritime history. Built by renowned shipwright Alby Prior, the 42-foot Moreton Bay cruiser “Werona” has been a familiar sight in local waters. The timber hull and superstructure are complemented by a recent refit that includes a new fuel tank, upgraded electrical system, and fresh anti-foul.

Bidding opens on Thursday, 23 July 2026 and closes on Wednesday, 29 July 2026 at 2pm AEST. The boat is currently moored at Raby Bay, Brisbane, and inspection is highly recommended.

Inspection is highly recommended before bidding. The online auction starts Thursday, 23 July 2026 and closes Wednesday, 29 July 2026 at 2pm AEST. Given the forced sale condition, this ferry represents a rare chance to secure a surveyed commercial vessel at a competitive price.

The “Kurilpa” is a genuine piece of Brisbane’s river history, now surplus to council requirements and listed with a clear instruction: it must be sold.

The online auction starts Thursday, 23 July 2026, and closes Wednesday, 29 July 2026 at 2pm AEST.

Given the age and council service history, a thorough pre-bid inspection is strongly advised. This is not a turn-key pleasure craft; it is a project or a potential commercial conversion for someone with marine experience. The steel construction makes it a solid base for a barge, houseboat, or workshop platform. All bidding and terms are managed through the online portal, so register early to avoid missing the close.

Built to survey and offered under instructions from Brisbane City Council, the "Baneraba" presents a rare chance for a buyer with salvage, repurposing, or private marina plans.

Two-wheel and three-wheel options include a 2009 VW 1650cc 4-cylinder trike, a 2016 Piaggio Typhoon 50cc scooter with 7,690km showing, plus a 2021 Sea Doo and the Hobie kayak. All lots close on 15 July 2026. Check the lot list for condition reports before bidding.

This auction covers a broad mix of salvage stock from multiple locations, so check the individual item descriptions for damage and pickup details. The 2022 Long Haul Trailers T-Rex T13 is a relatively new heavy-duty trailer that could be a solid project if the damage is cosmetic. The 2014 Olympic Pursuit Z6 and the 2008 Paramount Classic are both older caravans that might suit a buyer looking for a restoration or parts.

Marine buyers should note the Seafarer V-Sea and the Carribean 17ft Concord, both popular hulls for fishing or cruising. The 2011 Golf Caravans Challenger and the 2010 Retreat Hamilton round out the touring options. With 12-plus lots closing on 15 July 2026, inspect the photos and condition reports before bidding. No reserve prices are stated, so the final cost depends entirely on demand.

This is a single lot from Grays’ watercraft sale, not a full boat auction. The Diplomat Sportscraft MK II is a classic Australian-built fibreglass runabout, measuring around 16 feet. The listing notes it comes with a trailer, though the condition of both hull and mechanicals is unverified.

Buyers should factor in a full inspection before bidding. The V8 engine could be a solid base for a rebuild, but there’s no guarantee it runs. The trailer’s registration status is also unknown. If you’ve got the space and skills for a project boat, this one suits a hands-on buyer. Check the listing for photos and any updated condition notes before the close date.

These Suzuki DF150s are known for their smooth, fuel-efficient four stroke operation and strong mid-range torque. Coming as a pair from a single boat lot, they suit a buyer looking to repower a twin-engine setup or split them across two projects. Grays is selling these as part of a wider watercraft clearance, so expect other marine gear to pop up in the same auction window.

Check the listings for service history, hours, and whether the motors come with controls, harnesses, or propellers. A visual inspection at the Dandenong South depot is smart before bidding. If they’re low-hour units, you could save thousands versus buying new from a dealer.
