1999 Skilso Arctic 975 - a strongly built motorboat from Norway, where all weather boating is a standard requirement. The 975 offers a large saloon wheelhouse with helm, seating around a drop down table, galley and access to the aft cockpit through large sliding doors. The lower saloon has more seating around a table and access to a double berth midships. Powered by twin Volvo Penta engines on shaft drives there is also a bow thruster to aid manoeuvring. All the key electronics are included: Radar, AIS receiver, 2 chartplotters and autopilot, there is also an electric windlass, heating, full cockpit enclosure and large sky lights. 'Carousel' looks and feels like a boat that will take you places safely and comfortably without breaking stride.
Broker comments
Skilso began building boats in 1919, a Norwegian brand that sticks to the tried and tested formula that owners require when operating in harsh conditions: safe, comfortable and robust. Similar in design and feel to Nimbus and Aquador motorboats, the Arctic 975 lives up to those ideals with the enclosed helm position, protected cockpit and well laid out accommodation. Regarded as a fairly economical boat to run and strongly built, cruising will be an enjoyable and relaxing experience.
