Well some folk on here know what i am like with daft projects etc etc, daft ideas etc etc. Time has come to sell all my other boats and fix on one and this is it.
Yes i was meant to be going away from these kind of boats and play with a Loftus Bennet i have here but then a mate sent me a link for this for sale and as soon a si seen it i knew it was mine. I have been trying to find one for a good while but gave up.
It will in the new year i think by time i can tow it home a si have a bit of sorting out to do with other boats etc to make space and give T some garden back.
It is running twin AQ130s on 270 Volvo outdrives, all original aswell, One massive bonus is the trailer is a cracker its on and has had new bearings and brakes replaced on lay up and all still working fine. Although to double check i will be going down again after lockdown here to remove the wheels and check them over. looked good but there are two sides to a tyre lol.
I hope the canopy is not to deformed as i can use it to make a new one.
Hope these are good, they were but MMmmm
Love the set out for a small oat, semi flybridge aswell
Looking forward to faffing with these two.
You will see that the SB engine has wrong carbs fitted, i was so greatfull when i was looking over it and the seller said he actaully bought these when at a boat jumble some time ago. on a manifold aswell
love to save money as they dont come cheap.
Things i know that needs doing but for the running gear is the main bulkhead has gone at the bottom so that will be all coming out aswell as the other bulkheads up front, they have slight damp and delamination, i mite aswll do a proper job hey.
And the cabin sole, well feels solid but not easy to investigate that on these boats it is foam filled. but if needs must it will be but out and replaced with new.
The Heads look in worst condition lol
So bring on next few years
