Had new carpeting recently, which is why it looks so good. Most boats in this condition start at £5K with no extras, and some do not even have a motor, so there is significant more expense for those ones.

In addition,there is an engine safety kill-switch,and the new trailer head has a hitchlock built into it to secure it to the towball of a vehicle along with a safety chain and a D-ring. Virtually nothing is needed to use the boat with the exception of a spare tire, which can get anywhere. Also a book of launch areas in the UK is included with the boat. One thing to mention in case the I forget to tell the buyer:if you let a 2-stroke engine sit more than 6 months, you need to turn the engine manually to prevent decay of the engine seals, which has been done with this boat. It is all fully working ready to go in the water, and the engine can be seen turning on its own without the fuel line in it.
This is because you must never run a boat engine without water running through it, it needs to be in a vat or it needs a garden hone running through it.This is because the lack of cooling can damage the engine, it is the same with all outboard motors. No problem storing it, most caravan storage units will store a boat, and in the event that you cannot find one that will, just google boat storage. We have had this boat about 2.5 years, and unfortunately have only used it 3 times. That along with the fact that we are moving to Canada is the reason for the sale. We really enjoyed using this boat the 3 times we did, and therefore we wish the best of enjoyment to the buyer of it, as it will give years of boating pleasure, waterever way you want to use it:fishing, site seeing, water skiing, scuba diving, tubing or just take the boat out on the lake on sunbath.
We didn't, but the previous owner of it towed it down to Spain, and had a great time, probably cause it is small enough to tow easily behind most vehices, yet big enough for a family. So it is for yearround great boating fun. phone Nick
