Bonwitco Fishing And Ski Boat With Trailer And Fishfinder

If you go on youtube and look at the video Bonwitco 375 Cornwall, you can see her running today. (27/8) final attempt at selling this on classifieds board before I split it into individual parts, I have lowered the price a number of times but wont do so anymore, so please dont e mail me after the auction. If it goes, it goes. You will not find a better boat for the price in terms of reliability and versatility. Work transfer means me having to sell my beloved Bonwitco 375 (3.75 metres) fish and skiing boat.

I use it for fishing up the rivers and inshore (been out about 5 miles) off the Cornish coast. She has enough power to also pull a skier along, although it isn't something I have done. She is so easy to launch and comes with a fully galvanised trailer that has had new bearings and comes with a tow board. If you just want a cool looking small boat to cruise around in this is perfect. If you want to fish, she is very stable, I often stand up in her whilst fishing and have landed some large fish without any problems.

Boat Length 3.75 meters. Beam 1.62. Draft 15cm (unladen) She has a steering wheel and comfortable driving position with a screen to take the breeze above your eyeline. I have also fitted a couple of rod holders either side of the back bench. Carburretors cleaned and retuned two months ago.

You really just need to launch, turn they key and away she goes. The engine is a Mariner Oil injected 30hp 2 stroke and runs fine, after each use I put the freshwater muffs on her and flush her through. At the beginning of the year the carburetors were cleaned out and the timing adjusted to facilitate good idle turnover. She has a bracket for an auxiliary on the back (as shown) and I did have a small 5hp on there but never used it so took it off to place on a small tender I had, so the one you see in the first picture with the aux on does NOT have the auxiliary for sale. The hull has some small scratches but has never been anti fouled and is sound.

She has a driver seat in the front plus a bench seat, in the back is another bench seat. I had had six small adults in her but only for a spin up the river, four people is probably more suitable for comfort. The fishfinder is a Lowrance X67C (with original box) and picks up all fish, in colour, up to about 600feet!! , so fish are easy to locate and all features of the seabed are clearly visible. I can't emphasis enough how this is boating made easy, she is such fun.

I am also including: Galvanised anchorOne fenderVarious RopesFuel tankLowrance Fish Finder X67c with transducer (fitted)Tow board with cableEngine muffs.Cover The only minus is that the previous owner cut out a hole to secure the auxiliary bracket (pictured) but it may be best just to cut out some stylofoam to fit and this will keep out the rain, it in no way impacts upon safety or performance. The trailer is very sound and has roll on tilting rollers for ease of launch and recovery. You may need a new jockey wheel (cost about £20) at the front as the one on it seems to keep slipping out of its axle but once again this has no impact on launching. I tow the boat with a small Nissan (1.4) with no problems as it is very light. She is listed elsewhere and I have priced her to sell, the trailer only is worth over £500 and in much demand, the fish finder over £150, so please no time wasters.

Happy for anyone to come and have a look and I will start the engine for you. E mail me any questions you may have and I will endeavour to answer them. It will have to be pick up only but happy to drive up to 25 miles for if need be. I am located near Falmouth in Cornwall, so please consider this when bidding. Apologies the photos appear to be upside down, I can take some more and send by e mail on request.
