Shetland Boat Saker 18ft, Galvanised Trailer 115 Hp V4 Evenrude Fuel Injected Ob

Shetland Saker River/Sea BoatCurrently 2 berth (but could easily covert to 4) with a powerhouse of a 115 HP fuel injected Evenrude engine, recently serviced, and galvanised trailer.If you are new to boating and wish to enjoy, without Drama, this is the ideal package for you.Here we have for sale our Shetland Saker that is ready to go and enjoy.The BoatThis Shetland Saker 18ft cabin 2 berth boat, is happy as river use or sea use, and is extremely capable in rough sea, this model was very well built, and these are extremely strong hulls. Please note, this is not a painted effort of a boat, the Gel coat is original, and unpainted, as any boat should be, obviously apart from the fresh anti foul. Never ever buy a painted fibreglass boat that is potentially hiding faults.She can comfortably sleep 2 people and could easily be converted to sleep 4.Inside she comes with a toilet, cooker sink and a table that can be put up or down or used for sleeping accommodation. The inside is clean and well looked after. To the forward end there is a hatch that can be opened, so you can fall asleep while looking up at the stars above at night.The front of the boat has a stainless steel rail, where we used to sit on the bow while moving along, and was also very useful when we our evening BBQ.The Engine/Heart of any boatThe engine in any boat is a critical factor of any boat purchase, get it wrong and you can be left stranded at sea with a big repair bill, remember there is no AA Service at sea, and you can't push a boat home.Engine choice, there are two types of boat engine, Outboard and Inboard engines. Outboard engines are far more reliable and cost effective than inboard engines, hence why in the US most boats up to 40ft are now outboard powered. She is powered by a very powerful, fuel injected V4 Evenrude engine 115hp, with power trim and tilt, that runs like a sewing machine (no carburettors to worry about). This engine has been fantastically reliable for us, and can get this boat on the plane effortlessly being a powerful V4 115 hp engine. Being such a powerful engine we have easily towed people on the back with water toys etc, and also water ski off the back.Likewise she can also be docile and happy cruising up the Wareham river at 4 knots, when we slept over. The gearchange from forward or reverse goes in lovely, with no crunching or snatching like a lot of outboard engines do. Just put fuel in, look after, and enjoy.Trailer The trailer is a Factory Built, Galvanised Indespension roller trailer, and is easy to use for launching and recovery, and tows really well on the back of our car. The winch is a two gear type, so winching the boat back on after the weekend, a lot easier. In SumaryWeather you are new to boating, or an old Sea dog, the new owner will have a great package ready to go and enjoy with friends family or who ever, weather you want to pootle up and down, the Norfolk broads, blast around the Isle of Wight or use as a Ski Boat.This package can be on a pontoon in a Marina or would be a happy as a Trailer Sailor towed on the back of your car around the UK, and is capable of bringing many years of joy.Apologies for my long winded explanation, but after 40 years of boating and getting caught out with the cheap lemons, and learning from many mistakes, (yes i have had trailers collapse on me, engines conk out 2 miles from land, painted hulls split bla bla bla) i feel that the new owner will get a very sorted package.Please Call do not text as i am far to busy0phone
