Hybrid 454 jet boat

Purchased almost new 18 years ago and has provided some great reliable boating but not getting used enough in recent years. A total of 260 hours on the V8 4 L Lexus engine that is paired to a hibrid single stage jet unit. These and a long blade and provide great grip in the water.
The 4.54 m (15 foot) all alloy hull , jet unit and alloy trailer was designed and built by John Hibbs from Canterbury. A top-quality job from an engineer that likes precision. It's a well-balanced boat that is very quiet and a pleasure to drive. Has no problem in either big water or the shallows.

We retrofitted a plastic bottom insert to help zip through the shallows and ease pushing where the inevitable “shallow was too shallow”.

We have given the boat a freshen up in the last 12- 18 months including new

• alternator
• battery
• high tension leads and plugs
• fuel filter
• bilge pumps

and maintenance including

• oil change
• sharpen impeller

Along with the boat happy to throw in plenty of accessories if they are of use to you including:

• 5 lifejackets
• Push poles, paddle and boat hook
• Roller and PVC pipe
• Vehicle recovery including Max tracks and heavy duty strop
• Basic toolkit, wheel brace and Jack
• Water skis

I have a total of 8 lifejackets. Pick 5 of the sizes that work best for your family/crew. Sizes include

• XXL
• XL
• adult large
• adult medium x 2
• adult small
• child medium x 2

There is a spare impeller which has a slightly different pitch also to go with the sale. The trailer has just had a new wof. Near new tyres. This boat has its slight bumps and bruises as expected from a river boat but is ready for all your summer adventures. Full road cover. I am selling this on behalf. Happy to answer any questions Test rides/drives will be done with me.
Open to offers but not wanting to trade for anything. Boat is located in Hastings. Also have more pictures available
