Full Details
Burger has always been known as an American iconic brand that sells and resells above the market competitors; KOALA is no exception. KOALA was designed and engineered by Jack Hargrave in 1966. Mr. Hargrave and his office produced all the naval architecture in an era when Jack was a top designer in the business. Originally a 72 Burger, her cockpit was extended, transforming her into a more versatile 86 Burger. KOALA is considered to be ideal for charter purposes with ample room for a professional crew. The systems have been upgraded many times over the years. Her fast 24 kt performance and shallow draft under 5 feet make her great for cruising almost anywhere her Owner desires. KOALA was refitted recently with new exterior paint. She has always been captain maintained; however, her simplicity of systems and servicing are manageable for an Owner/Operator. KOALA is ready to go on her next adventure!
Accommodations and
Walkthrough
Sleeps six owners & guests in three staterooms aft, plus
three crew in two staterooms forward.
Master and Guest Staterooms: The owners and guest
accommodations are reached via a curved stairway at the port aft end of the
main salon. All of these staterooms have beautiful white wooden louvered blinds
(custom made by St. Augustine Marine) and proper, dogged ports with screens.
Walls are painted off-white. Overheads are covered in cream
ultra-suede. Carpeting throughout the lower accommodations is fern
green. In addition, each stateroom has its own digital AC control, recessed Halogen
lighting, large recessed 110v lighting, stereo speakers, and reading lamps over
the berths.
At the bottom of the stairway from the main salon and
immediately aft is the full beam owners' stateroom with a California king
centerline berth. On either side of the berth are built in
nightstands with matching lamps. Outboard to port and starboard are
built-in oak dressers with eight drawers each. Forward of the
dressers on either side of the stateroom are double door, full length, cedar
lined hanging lockers with louvered doors. On the forward bulkhead on
either side of the door from the companionway there are oil paintings in gilded
frames of small wild parrots. (Paintings have their own picture lamps).
There is also a small occasional chair in the port aft corner.
At the forward starboard side of the stateroom there is an en suite
head with a very large shower, sink with mirror faced cabinet, and Raritan
freshwater flush toilet plus an opening port with screen and wooden louvered
blinds.
Proceeding forward along the companionway from the master
stateroom, there is a double door linen locker to starboard and forward of it,
a closet for toiletries and domestic stores. On the opposite side of
the companionway is the guest head with shower, sink with mirrored cabinet, and
Raritan toilet. A second door leads from this head directly into the
port twin berth guest stateroom. Directly opposite on the starboard
side of the companionway is the second twin berth guest stateroom, nearly
identical to the port stateroom but slightly smaller. Both guest
staterooms have: large double door cedar lined closets, dressers with five
drawers with well lit mirrors above, twin berths with two drawers under each
berth, nightstands between the berths with lamps as well as matching, wall mounted
reading lights.
Salon
In addition to the sliding door to the main salon, there is
also a screen door which, once again, allows for natural air circulation in
pleasant weather. The main salon has its original honey oak
paneling, as well as beautifully matched valances and wood blinds (fabricated
by St. Augustine Marine) that have been added by the present owners. The salon
has been exquisitely decorated with free standing furniture. Forward
and to port is an upholstered two seat sofa with a rattan end table with lamp
and a black lacquer coffee table. Also here are two Rattan chairs
with wooden arms done in a rope motif. Outboard to starboard are two Rattan
side chairs and a hand-painted semi-oval chest of drawers. In the
aft starboard corner there is a hand painted "secretary"
desk. Across the forward bulkhead is a built-in oak
bookcase. Under the bookcase is a T.V. in a cabinet with pocket
doors. Adjacent is a cabinet which houses the stereo, DirecTV control, and DVD
/ VHS player. The carpeting here and in the lower dining salon is of very
high quality and is custom made with a pattern of squares running through
it. The overhead is cream colored vinyl. There are three
table lamps as well as ample D.C. and A.C. recessed lightning overhead, all of which
add to the salon's aura of quiet elegance.
Galley
Forward of the dining salon through a swinging door and on
the same level is the full width galley. This area was completely
refurbished in 2002. The sole here is identical to that of the
wheelhouse, varnished Bamboo, and is easy to maintain. To starboard
is a built-in dinette with white corian tabletop and two upholstered bench
seats. Over the forward bench seat there is a china cabinet with
glassware. Opposite the dinette, outboard in the galley, is a large
deep corian sink. In addition, the galley has all corian
countertops, formica faced cabinets with oak trim, six oak drawers under the
aft counter and the following list of appliances:
GE Advantium Speed cook oven
GE microwave
Kenmore Refrigerator
Black & Decker toaster oven/broiler
Kenyon touch control ceramic cook top
Miele dishwasher
As well as having large windows to port and starboard, the
galley also has an overhead opening hatch with screen, three recessed 110V
lights in the overhead, and four Halogen lights. The overhead
is covered in formica. In addition, there are three stereo speakers
here.
Dining
The dining salon retains its original honey oak cabinetry
and paneling. It has a lovely varnished oak and rectangular dining
table with four cushioned Rattan chairs. (Up to 6 can dine here). In
the aft port corner of the dining salon is a corner cupboard. On the
port side of the forward bulkhead is a recessed cupboard with
shelves. In the forward starboard corner there is an "L"
shaped sideboard with a display cabinet for china and glassware
above. Aft and outboard is yet another recessed cupboard with
shelves. Carpeting here is the same as in the main
salon. Lighting consists of a fluted dome light over the dining
table and six recessed Halogen lights. In addition, there is
rope accent lighting behind the oak valences. Window treatments are
as in the salon and galley, custom wood louvered blinds.
Wheelhouse
The wheelhouse retains its original Burger configuration but
has been completely updated with all new electronics and a reconfigured
console, new flooring, overhead lighting, and soft goods. At the
helm are a new Edson teak spoked wheel and an oak, moveable helmsman's
step. The console in front of the helm is clean with only a
screen for the Garmin CA 50, a Garmin autopilot and Mathers single
lever controls mounted here. Forward on the console is a
Kelvin-White compass. Mounted overhead are Caterpillar digital monitors for the
port and starboard engines, main engine ignitions, start and stop buttons, and
main engine alarms. Also overhead is a fold down screen for the Clarion
surveillance system. In a locker under the console, to port of the helm
are digital monitors for Generators 1 & 2, as well as for the engine room
blowers. Immediately adjacent to this is a large locker where the
EPIRB, medical kit, and fire extinguishers are stored. Above is a
long drawer for ships' papers, dividers, etc. Aft of the console is the
original Burger bench seat with four deep drawers underneath. To
port of the bench seat is a cabinet with another three deep
drawers. Mounted on the aft bulkhead are a Sea Chine Ship's Clock
& Barometer, two digital monitors for the Trace Inverters, an Acu-gage Tank
System Monitor and an A.C. digital control. The sole of the
wheelhouse has been finished in varnished Bamboo flooring. Overheads
are covered in cream vinyl. Lighting has been upgraded to include
Red D.C. night lights over the console as well as recessed Halogen
lighting and 110V lighting. In addition, there are two stereo
speakers here. There are sliding doors on both sides of the wheelhouse
as well as bi-fold screen doors, which allow for fresh air cruising in good weather. At
the starboard aft side of the wheelhouse, there are steps that lead up to the
flybridge. From the forward starboard side of the wheelhouse, there
are three steps, which lead down to the formal dining salon.
Flybridge
The flybridge is reached via steps that lead from the
starboard side of the wheelhouse. A 24v & 12 v electrical panel
is housed in a cupboard under the console and is accessible from the
stairway. The flybridge helm station (controls, gauges, etc.) is electrically
operated and can be raised up when needed or lowered into the console and out
of the elements. Port of the helm, there is a flat area on the
console for securing and reading charts underway. There is an aluminum wheel
here with two Stidd chairs. Outboard to starboard is an integral
seat with storage lockers. To port is an "L" shaped seat
with more storage. The entire helm area is covered with a
beautifully fabricated, aluminum and canvas hardtop (new 2018) with
Eisenglass enclosure. Aft of the hardtop is the mast which is hinged
and can be lowered for inland waterway cruising. Further aft on
the port side of the boat deck is a Steelhead Marine 1500# davit. On
the centerline, stowed fore and aft, is the Novurania
tender. Outboard to starboard of the helm, there is a liferaft,
which is stowed where it can be deployed quickly. In addition, there
is a fresh water faucet on the bridge, which allows the crew to wash the tender
and engine after bringing them back onboard.

an integral "observation" seat with storage lockers under it. On
either side of the seat are bosun's lockers and stainless
dorades. Farther forward is a hatch which leads to the captain's
cabin below. In front of this is a stainless bell mount with ship's
bell and another dorade. In front of the bell is the Maxwell windlass
with gypsy and capstan. There is a Bruce anchor on a roller in the
bow. In addition, there is a mount for an original anchor davit to
port, an anchor davit to starboard, as well as (2) large cleats
on both sides of the foredeck (4 total).
Aft Deck
One of the highlights of KOALA is her spacious,
teak covered aft deck. The entire area is air conditioned but can
easily be opened up when the weather is suitable. The side windows
are sliding. There are wing doors forward to port and starboard and large Dutch
doors that lead from either side of the aft deck to the cockpit with windows
that can be opened. Across the back end of the aft deck there is a
large built-in settee which is covered in a lovely bold tropical
print. In front of the settee is a magnificent custom hi-low
mahogany table with four sections that fold out so that 6 to 8 people can dine
in comfort. Handcrafted by a cabinetmaker, the table has beautiful
sunburst design, and a small koala in the middle of a starburst pattern. Opposite
the table, are two Rattan and Cane chairs. Two additional folding
tables are stowed in canvas bags in racks along the port and starboard sides of
the aft deck. On the forward bulkhead of the aft deck, to port of
the sliding door to the main salon, there is a custom built, top loading
freezer (with two doors) in a cabinet with a Corian top. To starboard of the
door is a matching cabinet with wet bar sink, ice maker and storage cupboard
with drawers for glasses and bar accessories. The overhead in this
area is finished in cream colored ultra suede. There is an abundance
of recessed D.C. and A.C. lighting in the overhead here, as well as four large
stereo speakers.

Lazzarette and Cockpit
Integral steps lead from the port and starboard sides of the

fabricated, and installed by St. Augustine Marine in 2002. Heavily constructed
of Aluminum plate, it is finished in white Awlgrip with non-skid and
has a beautiful, wide, varnished cap rail. At the center of the aft
end of the cockpit, there is a Bowmar hatch for access to the aft fuel tank and
holding tank. At the starboard aft end of the cockpit, there is a
heavy door, which leads to the integral swim platform below. The platform has
stainless rails as well as recessed stainless cleats. A large
"Aircraft" style door leads from the forward section of the
cockpit down into the lazarette. The lazarette houses the rudder
posts, steering gear, Trace Inverters, the fuel overflow/ventilation tank,
battery banks, selector switches, charger, and Cablemasters, (as described in
the electrical section of this listing). In addition, there is a small sink to
port of the door.
Crew Quarters
The crew quarters are forward of the galley and are
accessible via fold up steps. First along the companionway to port
is the crew cabin with criss-cross berths, a full length cedar lined hanging
locker, five large drawers, ac controls for the crew and captain's cabins, two
wall mounted reading lamps, two opening ports with screens, 3 Halogen
lights and two stereo speakers. Opposite the crew cabin and
to starboard is the crew head with full shower, Raritan freshwater toilet,
cupboard, and sink with mirrored cabinet over it. There is also a
large 110v light here as well as an opening port with screen. All the
way forward in the bow is the captain's cabin with an ample single berth (port side)
with 6 drawers underneath, two cedar lined hanging lockers, a desk with two
additional drawers and six cupboards. There is also a reading light over the
berth as well as Halogen recessed lighting, two stereo speakers, an
opening port with screen and access forward to the chain locker.
At the aft end of the crew companionway, down and under the folding
steps from the galley, are the laundry room and engine room. The
laundry room is well lit and has top of the line Miele equipment and full
headroom. Aft of the laundry room is the stand-up engine room.
Engine Room
During the 2002 refit the entire engine room was reworked
and new generators, chillers, watermaker, pumps, the exhaust system, plus
other equipment were renewed. In addition, much of the old wiring and
plumbing were replaced and a new electrical panel, built by Ward Marine, was
installed. There is stand-up headroom in most of the areas of the
engine room. It is air-conditioned, well ventilated, and well lit.

Remarks
KOALA was "reborn" in 2002 when her new
owners had her extensively refitted at St. Augustine Marine Center in St.
Augustine, Florida. A 10' cockpit and 30" swim platform was added
with every effort made to keep the beauty of the yacht's classic
lines! Having been repowered with Cats in 1999 by the former owner, it
was now time to refurbish the rest of the engine room. New generators
were installed. A new electrical panel was furnished by Ward Marine in Fort
Lauderdale. The hull was taken down to bare metal - refared
and painted with Awlcraft 2000. The bottom was sandblasted and
painted. All interior soft goods were replaced, as well as the carpeting
throughout the yacht. Original painted interior surfaces were
repainted and all teak surfaces were refinished. Most of the equipment
and appliances were renewed. 15,000 man hours later, KOALA is
a new "classic" Burger with state-of-the-art systems and
equipment, more range, more fuel economy, and restored reliability.
Having been captain and yard maintained since her refit in 2002, she is in
pristine condition and ready for a new owner to take over.
