Sportique Fishing Boat 18ft

FOR SALE: Sportique Fisher 18ft Fishing Boat, cabin and trailer - Outboard Mariner 80HP EFI - Condition is Used.Hours: 109Year: 2011/12 This is my Fishing boat which i use out of Langstone Harbour in Portsmouth. The boat is in good working order and I have just replaced the Hydraulic Lines for the Steering unit which had perished after the hot long summer last year. The boat has a self draining deck and auto bilge pump which works automatically. Deck space is good as the Engine is outboard and sits on a stainless steel pod. There are two batteries which can be run independently or together if required.

These are topped up when the boat is static with the use of two solar panels which are included. I have just anti fowled her so any of you who are really observant may be able to see the masking tape which i still need to move prior to buffing her up. There are a few chips and scratches - general wear and tear for a boat of this age. The trailer does not have the brakes fitted ATM as it hampers when you launch and recover repeatedly. I do have them and they will be included in the sale.

There are deck rails all around (good for fishing holders etc.) and adequate mooring posts and cleats. Below is what is included in the sale:VHF radio (Standard Horizon)Lowrance Fish Finder and Depth GaugeStandard Horizon Chart Plotter (Maps need updating)Windlass Stainless Anchor/winchAuxiliary bracket mount for additional Outboard (important if the main engine fails and you are in a shipping lane)Solar panelsSome ropes and tethersFlares/Fire exstinguisherThe reason for the sale is I have a young family and I just don't find the time to take her out. The boat can be used in freshwater and would be fine in a river setting as well as Salt water. The tank holds about 100 litres of fuel and i generally top her up with 20Litre cans when i go out. The engine is hugely efficient so you won't be worrying about distance.

Boat can withstand Gale force 9 but i wouldn't want to try out that theory!! Viewings by appointment - Buyer collects or pays for shipping ***Contact me in the first instance*** Please ask any questions. I reserve the right to remove this listing at anytime as i have it advertised elsewhere.
