Unfortunately Due to circumstances out of my control I am having to sell my 16ft Teal Fast fisher Boat complete with Trailer.This boat is by far the best I have owned over the many years I have owned Boats and would be hard to beat for stability and most important safety. These Teal fast fishers are extremely Robust and can handle pretty much what you throw at it. This vessel has a 40hp (forty) Mariner 2 stroke Pull start outboard engine which is remote controlled with a separate throttle and forward/reverse levers, The outboard will start on the first pull without fail and has excellent compression on both cylinders. I have always kept up with servicing lubricating and flushing after each Trip, I will only ever use Quick silver oil and genuine parts eg Impeller, Plugs and Gear oil. This Outboard will put the boat on the plane with ease and will do 26 knots so will fly you out to your fishing marks in quick time.
Its fuel economy is good for the size and weight of the boat. It comes with a good size Fuel tank that has a gauge to check fuel levels. I regularly fish with my mate, but I have had 3 fishing comfortable from the deck and 1 on the front with adequate room. The boat has a spare seagull engine as a back up, but never had to use it yet! This is stored in the cabin under the seats.
The boat has a big leisure type battery that is charged from the Engines Charging system. This Battery powers up all the electronic equipment which I will start to list: The Boat is equipped with a Garmin GPS Chart plotter and comes loaded with maps of all UK and Ireland waters, It will navigate and take you to the fishing marks/Wrecks the safest and quickest way avoiding known hazards and of coarse to get you back again. I also have a coloured Screen Lowrance Fish Finder which is programmed for shallow depth alarm to avoid running aground! The transducer for this is built in under the deck and not the bracket type you fit to the transom which most of the time can be useless with interference from the cavitation of the prop and in most cases false readings (from my personal experience). I have also fitted 2 electric Bilge pumps that are fully plumbed in and operated by one of the panel switches.
I mainly use these when I wash all the deck down or if on a mooring and had plenty of rain makes short work of emptying it out. I also Have a ship to shore VHF radio (Cobra Marine) with a stainless /fibreglass Pro com Antenna I also have a handheld Rechargeable Cobra Marine waterproof VHF radio that is also included in the Sale. The boat also comes with a USB/CD/ Stereo Player with fitted Deck speakers. It has Full LED deck and Navigation Lights all operated from one of the switched (fused) panel. The Boat is fully equipped with life jackets, Anchor rope and chain and retrieval bouy.
The boat has a Teleflex steering and captain chair. Rod rest and rod stands fitted through out. A Bait/cutting tray that clips on the back wash plate. It has a Second switched Fused panel inside the cab that also has a built in cigarette lighter and a 12v battery meter to check condition of the battery. The Boat Is ready for the sea whether or not you use it for fishing or water sports its ready to go.
I think its almost got half a tank full of fuel that I had left over from my last fishing trip in December. I have owned this boat for at least 5 years and have had many weeks away fishing with it with some great catch results! I have had it on a swing mooring for 10 days in south Devon Last year (Brixham) and the Isle of Wight (Bembridge Harbour) Finger mooring for 7 days, Plenty of Day Trips out of Portsmouth, Chichester harbour, too many to list! Living in London and a real keen sea fisherman I find I have to make the most out of my trips, Retrieving and launching the boat is easy with the winch and the heavy duty Trailer (it unfortunately spends a lot of time on) handles very well while towing, (That well you wouldn’t no you had it on) The Trailer wheels are Current Ford wheels with a 165 x 13 tyres all in good condition with a spare. The trailer I had purpose built by a metal fabrication company and has a heavy duty 3leaf spring suspension with added shock absorbs for greater towing stability even at higher speeds.
The trailer has tie down loops which I use 2 x five ton Ratchet straps to hold it snug to the trailer along with the winch clip. It has a lighting board (just need to bring a number plate or temp remove your existing one) To sum this up you wont be disappointed on the handling and performance of this boat. Its ready to go fishing (only Tackle and bait needed) everything works as it should. It has had no repair to my knowledge to the hull. The Transom is solid as it should be.
Its in great over all condition. I have many extras like The outboard flushing muffs, New Fenders, Fire Extinguisher, Stainless Steel cleats, Tool kit, 10 litre fuel cans, Quicksilver 2 stroke oil and Mixing shot bottle, outboard immobilizer key, locked cabin with built in under seating large storage cupboards , Cabin light plenty of cabin space for cooking/making tea/coffee etc spare emergency 3hp outboard Engine all working as it should do and stored under cabin seats. Tinted dark Blue windows although one has a crack in the Perspex but never leaks water and cheap to replace, I just never bothered about it seems the duck tape I put on it 5 years ago when I first brought it has worked wonders. The cabin has a mushroom type screw down 4 inch vent in the roof for ventilation if cooking etc Any Questions Please call Dave on 0phone Viewing by appointment only but welcomed PLEASE NOTE I do have the right to remove this Ad at any one time as I have listed it elsewhere!
