Why this boat

The Regal Ambassador 255 XL combines the unmistakable character of an American sports cruiser with exceptionally low use. A 5.7-litre V8 that has clocked up just 102.6 operating hours in almost four decades is extremely rare in this combination. If you are looking for a genuine '88 classic with solid 80s quality and a well-kept original character, you will find a remarkable example here.

The classic MerCruiser V8 offers powerful propulsion and fits perfectly with the sporty character of the Regal. Thanks to the trailer, the boat remains independent of the fixed berth: today the day trip, tomorrow another area or a weekend on the water. The complete package of sports cruiser, hardly used engine, well-maintained equipment and aluminium trailer is rarely found on the market.

Condition and maintenance

Outstandingly good and above-average overall condition

Very little use since 1988

MerCruiser V8 with exceptionally low 102.6 operating hours

Upholstery without noticeable damage

Custom-made cockpit and driving cover from the saddlery

Custom-made winter tarpaulin

Well-maintained double-axle aluminium trailer with valid TÜV

No CE marking required due to the year of manufacture

Due to its age and long service life, the bellows, gimbal bearings, fuel system and ignition system in particular should be professionally inspected before handover or before the first intensive use. The low number of operating hours is a strong argument, but in a classic car it does not replace the careful inspection of age-dependent components.
