Description
You’ll find these, not only in US, but also in UK and Europe, cruising coastlines, and even as liveaboards in harbours and canals. The only thing it didn’t have, was a proper fishing deck, which I added, made of hardwood, ply and epoxy. The previous owner fitted a new 5.7, 250hp Mercruiser/Bravo 1 sterndrive in 2018, which has now done 278hrs. I have flushed everytime with Salt Away and run up at least once a month for 20min. Fuel economy is on par with latest 4 stroke outboards, 1.5 litres/nm, cruising at 21knots, top speed 35knots. Complete service 7 hrs ago with new sparkplugs and 2 fuel filters. The fuel tank holds 265 litres. 2x bilge pumps. Pressure fresh water system with cockpit shower. It has a fridge running off its own battery. 2 burner stove. I fitted a marine toilet with holding tank and carbon filter. Interphase Matrix sounder/fishfinder is getting on and if I kept boat would replace with all in one GPS unit. Near new 9.8hp Tohatsu auxiliary. Also recently spent $11k on new cockpit frame and covers by Matamata Motor Trimmers. The roll-up side windows keep you cool on hot days. Anchor retrieve and lower switch on instrument console. New horn to move pirates out of the way! Locker at back holds boarding ladder, sea anchor drogue and bait board. Spare anchor under passenger seat. Can supply with new roll-up 2.4 Mercury inflatable and 3.3hp Mercury outboard if required. Excellent trailer, with boat nabber, quickly centers the bow.
