Fletcher 19ft Bow Rider, With Mercury 150 Outboard Speedboat

For sale fletcher 19ft bow rider with 150hp mercury 2 stroke v6.These 19 ft bow riders are sought after and handle much better in the rough than the smaller boats. They have a lot more room onboard to move about. The bow of the boat has a solid hard removable cover which when removed offers the obvious extra front seats. With this solid cover on and the windshield closed you can take the boat in to much choppier seas which you couldn’t in a bow rider normally for obvious reasons of taking water in Over the bow. The boat is in good condition for the year But does has the mark here and there as go be expected from a 1996 boat.
At the start of this season I polished the whole boat (boats just came off the water from a swinging mooring)I antifouled the hull with hempel hard racing antifoul and it has lasted and worked brilliant. I will include a 2/3 full pot of antifoul in navy blue which also matches the boat. I removed the fuel tank and cleaned debris from bottom of hull. Fitted a new automatic bilge pump and re wired. Fuel tank professionally cleaned and a new fuel filter housing and fuel filter fitted.
New hand primer and fuel lines to outboard. Carbs removed and cleaned and refitted. Engine starts on the button and pulls very nice. Only run on optimum unleaded for reliability. Boat had new steering and new 2 stroke tank and sender prior to my ownership.
I installed a new fuel tank sender and fuel gauge to the dash too as the original fuel level sensor wasn’t working. I fitted 2 new leisure batteries and a split charge charging system to ensue starter battery is always ready with charge. I cut and removed and replaced all old and damaged wiring in the looms and removed the old stereo as it had stopped working. It’s easy to reinstall a stereo to run off the leisure battery If you want and you could run this all day with the engine off and still have charge in your starter battery to start the engine. The floor in the boat is solid but the carpets have a few rips (easy to replace but perfectly functional as it is) The rear bench seats are leather like the captains chairs but the leather has come away from stitching due to kids standing on them getting in and out of boat.
(I have covered the rear seat in a blue fabric and stapled it around. The rear seat back rest has come away from side but will be able to screw back on quite easily. The captain chairs and the bow seats are in good condition but just need a clean. All the guages work as they should and the boat is ready to go straight back in the sea with the 150hp starting on the key and ultra reliable.The electric engine tilt is working lovely and the levels were checked at the start of the season as was the gearbox oil. The boat had a removable tow pole for skiing etc I have a full boat cover which is universal and a tonneau cover which I have some new poppers for but is perfectly usable still as I was using it recently.
If the new buyers has a wife who’s good a stitching then cover could be restitched at the seams which are coming away in places but the cover is not ripped etc. The trailer is a braked trailer which had a new axle a couple of years back and hasn’t done any mileage as it’s stored on a caravan park and I’ll covers 1/3 Mile a year. The new owner will have to bring there own light board and rear ratchet straps to strap the boat down at rear before towing. Viewing before bidding only Based in maldon Essex I have so many pics and videos of the boat this year upon request and im sure there are plenty of bits of left out etc. Solid watertight boat that’s fast and reliable and is very capable on the water.
No other 19ft fletcher is on the market at the moment and an outboard boat is always better as any inboard owner will tell you. Bank transfer of cleared funds before boat leaves compound.No PayPal, no cash Any questions please ask phone
