620 operating hours in 22 years. First owner. Exclusively fresh water. And a sterndrive that is almost unheard of in this boat class. The Saga 26 HT is a Norwegian touring motorboat with a reputation for outlasting decades - this example from 2003 shows what that means in practice.
Saga Boats has been building boats in Selje on the west coast of Norway for over 50 years. Family business, high vertical range of manufacture, renowned longevity. The Volvo Penta KAD32 with 170 hp and DuoProp-Z drive is the performance version of the 26 HT: The semi-planing boat runs in planing mode on request, consuming around 2.5 liters per hour in cruising mode - a value that comparable 8-meter motorboats hardly achieve. The engine maintenance was carried out in May 2025 and is fully documented.
The boat has never been operated in salt water - a decisive advantage for the sterndrive and DuoProp propeller, which has a direct influence on the technical condition of the drive unit. All maintenance work is fully documented. Bow thruster, electric trim tabs, 90-watt solar system with renewed batteries (2020/2024), diesel heating, diesel stove, shore connection, cold hot water with engine heat and a Raymarine e7 with echo sounder and VHF round off the picture of a consistently upgraded cruising boat. This is a complete solution for those on longer trips to anchor moorings with no dependence on shore power.
In short: first hand, 620 hours, ready to go, fully documented - a freshwater example of the Saga 26 HT with the rare Z-drive configuration that can be taken over immediately.
