26 Foot Cabin Cruiser (Project) "lucky Dip"

Just paid next six months marina fees on 1st April. Called 'lucky dip'. Bought this boat with intention of taking grandkids out and slowly refurbishing but illness (arthritis) has put a stop to it so it's now going to highest bidder.I put 4 year safety cert on it when I got it in sep 2017, so plenty left on it, started RIP out and bought a load of new gear which will all come with the boat such as brand new self inflatable life jackets, new cushions for seating, took curtains down and put limo tint on windows instead.It has loads of bits and Bob's for refurb but really there are far too many to mention, suffice to say you will not have to spend any money for while to make a real good start on refurbishing. Has a perkins 4104 inboard which is the engine of choice on the canal as it is bulletproof (same as you find on dumper trucks, gennies, water pumps and a host of other things) which was in working order until I started putting new batteries and things on and I've not been able to start it since but I'm reliably informed it will start once batteries are connected properly. There is also a mariner (yamaha) 5hp outboard that comes with the boat but would need the bracket (provided) bolting to rear of boat first.

This is a good reliable 2 stroke engine in good working order (I have video on phone to prove) and comes with 2 petrol tanks (one brand new) and fuel lines.There's a new rudder that can be connected to either the out drive or the outboard to make manoeuvring easier. Just clamps on with locking nuts for safety.It's on the water at present at a marina in Nottingham. Now I'm not supposed to sell the boat with it's birth in the marina so although fees are paid for the next six months you will have to come to your own arrangements with marina (if staying). If you are removing the boat there is a slip way on site or cranes are available for a fee.Please don't bid on this boat if you don't have the money to pay, also remember this is a PROJECT boat, although it is useable and sea worthy it will need work to make it comfortable.Viewing is available by appointment and highly recommended and please be aware you are bidding to buy, not to kick the tyres or haggle with the price. Genuine bidders only.This auction will run to end unless I'm made an offer I can't refuse (please no daft offers, I know what it's worth).
