SIB's spotted on eBay thread

[tinker]

Maybe the purchaser could just sell the remotes after buying it. Tbh I like the idea of the 15hp and that one looks clean. My 25hp yamaha is a heavy beast and right on the edge of me not being able to handle it and I'm not getting any younger. Its the run down south that adds expense and time for me that's off putting.

Sell the boat for 500 and the wheels and remote for 200, leaves the engine cost at 1100......

I think you'd probably get more for the Aerotech than £500, could work out to be a very cheap 15hp Yam!

The vultures are circling . I agree, it could be a good deal at £1,800 if split up. Shame I'm skint.

Nice outfit complete and ready to go, interesting to see what price the current market deems for this:

Needs a better trailer but otherwise looks good. That's brave putting it on no reserve.

Well that went for less than I thought it would. Might have sold for more if the package was split into 3 / 4

Like the good old days when plenty of these outfits (boat/trailer/engine/accessories) came up all the time and went for £1500 - £1800. Buy 'em, split 'em, upgrade and move on.

[Fenlander]

In a way it seemed cheap but I reckon that old school Tohatsu 4-stroke is 52kg meaning you're going to need a new/newish road trailer to complete the outfit and then it will get up to a less cheap figure.

If I lived closer I'd be up for this project.

I've commented before about ten years ago I came so close to an old Futura like this. I love the red on red ones.

But up for the project? Probably that time has passed now. I'm looking at a very unusual dimensioned radiator for the bathroom I'm refurbing at the moment and there is an Ebay seller with one that would save £150 over new but it's missing its unusual and very specific wall mount brackets. I mentioned to Mrs F and she said just get the new one we haven't the time left for that faffing now.

Lot of work in it, the speed tube inflation hose could be an issue looks like it become detached some how. Have to be in it for the journey rather than the economic sense.

PM me a picture of the brackets David, you never know I just may have some in my "never throw away could be useful" box.

Hi tinker, I'd not noticed anything untoward. Would it be possible to take a screenshot and circle where you mean, as they say "every day's a leaning day". Thanks

[tinker]

Not sure how they connect to the valve or tube, could use a double ended hose tail if all else failed I suppose.

As I post this it’s still available, surely not for long…

I'm assuming you can tell from the "identification number" but which part?

...a bit harsh!

As it says in the OP (9 years ago but still relevant) As always buyer beware, never make payment before seeing boat, verifying owner, checking engine etc, blah, blah..

Last two digits on the HIN plate. 04 in this case.
