Classic Shetland 498 Leisure Powerboat

Shetland 498, 18', 1980Beige and brown colouringCanopy in fairconditionMercury 15 outboard engine invery good conditionEngine serial no isS.NOP334839A good, honest, classic fisherman's boat that has spent most of it's life on the Lancashire canal network, and has only been used on Loch Lomond a handful of times since our purchase in 2012. It is the perfect boat package for very little money that can be used for leisure use or loch fishing. To knowledge the boat has had no use on salt waters and the body work is in impressive condition given the boat's age. Enclosed cabin is ideal for overnight camping trips; we found it perfectly comfortable accommodation for two people on the occasional overnight trip, however it has also provided for our family of six during periods of heavy rain so the cabin is surprisingly spacious! Original gel coat with slight abrasion to paintwork on hull from tie-down straps as shown in photographs.

The canopy is in decent condition but could do with a 'spruce-up' due to experiencing the harsh Scottish winters over the last 6 years!! It is a 15 horsepower Mercury petrol engine that has had very minimal use and is in excellent condition. Absolute bargain, this is a great opportunity for someone to enter the wonderful world of boating at rock bottom cost. Boat + Trailer + Canopy included in sale price. Happy to answer any questions/provide additional photographs so feel free to contact me if you require further information.
