This very sexy girl is a minor project vessel and would suit a live aboard FIFO worker or a retiree / skipper that enjoys fiddling.
We believe it's moreso time than dollars needed to bring her back to her former glory and the price will ultimately reflect this !
She is of quality marine ply construction and very well built and in solid condition with good bones !
Twin motors on shafts are a very desirable combination and whilst they are V8's, they are fresh water cooled and cheap on parts.
Her interior is in great shape and needs very little attention.
Bi fold saloon doors bring the outdoors inside making her extremely spacious and accompanied with double transom doors and a folding swim platform make her a very comfortable Rotto boat for extended periods or indeed, a great live aboard !
Ok, so, the nitty gritty of what she needs.
1) The motors are twin Ford 5 litre (302 ci) V8's, at 250hp each and fresh water cooled and were running sweet a year or so ago.
Stb motor needs a new exhaust elbow which has already been made out of st/st and will be supplied with the vessel ready to fit.
Port motor needs a gasket on the jabsco seawater pump.
The electric solenoid fuel shut off valves were faulty and she needs manually operated ball valves installed (simple is best) and they will be supplied also included in the sale.
The steering ram has a minor leak and hopefully it just requires a seal kit to be installed to rectify.
Unsure about electrics or guages.
To the best of our knowledge, these items are the limit of what needs to be addressed mechanically etc and whilst we are endeavouring to be entirely transparent with our descriptions there may or may not be other issues that we are unaware of.
Whilst the exterior paintwork is generally in good condition, like all timber vessels, she needs a few touch ups here and there but in general, she is in pretty good shape.
That's about it guys, a great looking boat for not a lot of money, just needs to be towed to her New home or hardstand, for some minor attention and probably antifoul then she'll be ready to go boating.
