Classic Speed Boat

Classic “Run About” in the style of the Healey or similar UK/Italian craft, built sometime in the 60 or 70s, the builder is unknown. The hull is of possibly mahogany or teak ply on a hardwood frame, with “mock” teak decking. The hull is hand painted with the underwater section recently stripped and repainted. Mechanically she may have had originally a BMC or Ford four cylinder engine, however she has at some time been refitted with a Ford Essex V6 (Capri/Granada) and Hurth ZF transmission, including transmission and engine oil coolers. She is raw water cooled via an electric pump and the engine circulation pump.

She has had fitted new stainless exhaust pipes, new hydraulic lines to and from the engine and oil coolers. New distributor cap and ignition cables. New Electric and engine water pump and the majority of the engine core plugs have been replaced with stainless ones. The road trailer is quite old, but solid and recently fitted with new suspension units and bearings. It comes with a recent spare wheel and tyre.

Ideally she is suited to flat water and any future owner ideally needs to be mechanically competent. On test she achieved 36 knots by GPS, however this was not in ideal conditions and it is possible 40 knots could be achieved.
