Colvic 19 Diesel Fishing Boat Project

Here we have a Colvic 19 for refit and repair. It has a BMC diesel engine, which I have not started but it does turn, it has a Hurth gearbox which has clean oil. I would guess at some time it has been on a keel cooler but someone has fitted a radiator in the bilge, not really good practice and the exhaust is dry, goes straight up but there is no pipe or silencer. The hull and deck are grp and the boat holds water so I guess it would float; most of the interior plywood is rotten and will need replacing, it does not have a propeller but it has steering, gear controls, fuel tank etc. It had a wheel shelter but someone took it off.

These are popular boats and if you are handy should be a reasonably straightforward repair, but it is up to you to decide if it is for you and is what you expect. You are welcome to come and have a look or send someone to evaluate it and the engine so you fully understand what you are buying. The start price is very reasonable and it is a no reserve auction so a bid will buy it; please make sure if you do bid that you are in a position to contact me within 24 hours of auction end and that you are able to pay for and remove the vessel within seven days. There are facilities in the yard to load it to your transport or it can remain where it is by negotiation with the boatyard for about £54 per month. Please feel free to ask any questions Thanks for looking
