Teal fast fishing boat complete with Brenderup 4 wheel braked trailer . Great opportunity to own a fast but very cost effective fast Diesel powered fishing boat . I have owned this boat for five years and it’s been reliable and great fun for all the family . You can see from the photographs that the cabin area has sufficient accommodation to use this boat as a weekender ideal for two people . The bench seats convert to a double bed .
There is a sink unit and basic 2 ring gas stove . There is no sea toilet on this boat . A chemical portapotti type would be ideal but not included . The hull is white and in good order . The upper blue cabin is gel coated not painted and looks really smart .
There are ample glass windows in aluminium frames . The two side windows slide open to give good ventilation .curtain are in place to provide privacy when sleeping onboard The boat has been previously used for diving and has a purpose built substantial ladder which has a bracket on the port side amidships The ladder stows aboard when not in use . It is very strongly constructed but light alloy s great safety feature in the event of a man overboard situation There is a full electronic package including vhf radio.Garmin GPS chart plotter with waypoint facility to store your favourite fishing spots . It is interfaced with the self steering system ( auto pilot) but this is something I have never used but it is installed. There is also a fishfinder , I have all the operating manuals for the electronics .
The engine is a ford 2.5 litre ( transit ) engine which has been professionally marinised and has a bowman heat exchanger . It starts on the button and runs well with no smoke . Raw sea water is drawn into a debris filter and then to the heat exchanger . The boat runs cool whether on tickover or on full power . And boy can this boat pick up its skirt and run if you want to get somewhere fast .
GPS records 23 knots as it’s top speed but most of the time on half throttle 12-14 knots is the normal cruising speed . The engine is economical to run and has a stainless steel fuel tank mounted under the floor of the rear cockpit . The engine is rear mounted and bolted to a tilting Volvo penta leg . The tilt motor works fine and as you would expect has forward and reverse gears . The steering is a standard teleflex style system .
The leg give better manoeuvrability than a straight shaft and rudder system . There are trim tabs on the back of the transom but they are fixed . The great thing about this package is that is comes with a twin axle brenderup trailer which I bought when it was nearly new with my previous boat . I can tell you this trailer has never been immersed in sea water ever . I always have the boat craned on and off the trailer .
The trailer is great because you can store the boat free of charge at home over winter , you can trailer the boat and use it like a caravan . You could float it off on a slipway I guess but it’s a big boat . I wouldn’t personally try it . The trailer has a hitch lock and the keys are provided . Tyres brakes and wheel bearings are good .
Never been in sea water . The trailer value is £2,500 on its own . I will not split the boat from the trailer the sale is for the two together boat and trailer .It tows well I use a landrover discovery . I’ve been to Devon and back to North Wales it tows really well . The boat is currently moored in Pwllheli North Wales .
The cost to crane it out jet wash it and put it back on your trailer is £112 .if you buy the boat this is your responsibility. The mooring does not come with the boat . I’m selling this boat reluctantly because I also have a yacht and the money raised from the sale of the fishing boat will be used to take the yacht to lanzarote . That’s the only reason for sale . Although I’ve asked for offers they really would have to be close offers .
I have the boat on sale at the marina and already there is some interest so I reserve the right to remove the boat from sale from classifieds board . I have lots of video footage of the boat in action . Please contact me if you are a genuine potential buyer and il send you additional photographs or video footage . Cash or bank transfer only . £500 immediate deposit the sale to be completed within 7 days .
You are welcome to,view of course . If you want to take the boat to sea to try then I will charge you £100 pounds non refundable even if you don’t buy for my time and effort but if you do buy discounted from our final agreed price .....it’s to stop daydreamers and penniless day trippers I’m sure you understand . Trailer £2500Boat £ 6500Total package £9000. Or very near offer . I repeat I will not split this package I’ve just broken down the boat and trailer just to illustrate the value of each Message me on classifieds board with questions Or telephone 0phone to discuss , request photos and video or to arrange viewing .
