'We believe it’s a first,' he says. 'We want to sell them, and the directors of the company believe, that instead of spending money on promoting the brand, a $1 reserve auction will gain plenty of attention! That’s the idea of it. Get more Noble boats out in the marketplace, which will create a demand for more. They're a great little boat!'

Seiffert admits, the $1 reserve is 'a big risk, but a good risk'.

'It will raise public awareness, and people will get great boats for a good price. We’re going to sell them.'

The five boats are: a 5m cuddy cabin, a 5.8m centre console, two 5m cuddy cabs and a 6.25m cuddy cab. 'They are all brand new and on trailers. They don’t come with motors, but we can organise any brand at a good price for the new owners since we have arrangements with most of the manufacturers.'

Noble is originally an Australian-made concept, previously built in Queensland, now produced in China by an Australian company with quality control, materials and production overseen by Australians.

'They are very sturdy and have undergone a lot of testing done over the years,' asserts Seiffert. 'We sell them to plenty of professional fisherman all over the country. Best of all, they come at a good price point, especially with reserve of $1!'

Seiffert continues: 'The boats are available for viewing at Rivergate Brisbane, but if you can’t make it to Brisbane, we can send specs and photos and you can view them online.'
