Hardy Fishing 17 Motor Boat, With Indespension Trailer

The Hardy Fishing 17 is a sought after boat offering great space to fish or cruise on rivers and lakes, as well as the sea, thanks to its generous beam. Built to the usual high Hardy standards she has a large aft cockpit and an open backed forward cuddy area for shelter and stowage. There is a storage locker at the forward end of the cuddy and a spacious lazarette locker at the stern. There is a stainless frame at the stern to carry the nav. Lights, VHF aerial and radar reflector.

It would make an ideal mount for fishing rods too. In use throughout the season. She was originally purchased as the harbourmaster's launch and ferry in Salcombe and I have owned her for 3½ years. I'm only selling now to go back to sailing, but she's ready for a new owner to enjoy the rest of the season. At 32 years old she is, perhaps unsurpisingly, not immaculate, although she looks and feels like a lot of fun for a very reasonable price.

The Indespension trailer was, I think, purchased by the previous owner and is about 10 years old. It was extensively serviced with new brakes and main axle in 2017.
