Regal Valanti Boat

Hi, welcome to my auction of my 24ft regal valanti. I did buy this in the intentions of restoring it back to its former glory. Unfortunately due to a recent health scare I'm at this time in no position to start this project. The structure itself is sound, but due to rain water damage sustained while in storage has rendered the engine from turning, and therefore a engine requires a rebuild. Now the parts for this engine are cheap and very much obtainable.
A complete engine overhaul kit is around £500, piston all included. The cabin also needs attention and the boat in general needs a good clean. The transom and prop and propeller are all good. The rear bench seats were rotten so I've disposed of that. But it is only a wooden frame with a foam bench seat to be made.
In good order these boats are still fetching good money. Upwards of 16000 to 18000.So if you have the time and knowledge this could be a great winter project ready in time for summer next year, when the prices rise up more. Mercruser engines are very much available and a refurbished unit are as little as £1000. I've looked into all the options that were available to me at the time I took ownership. The trailer is included in the sale.
But the new owner will have to get reinforced tyres fitted. And there's one mud guard missing, due to a tyre blow out when I purchased the boat.It will tow a reasonably short journey on its tyres, but I'd recommend having 4 wheels changed before any long distance is covered. Any questions please don't hesitate to contact me
