What boat thread ...

[PeterM]

I'm looking to up boat size again but have a 'want' list of

4 jockeys
4 stroke motor up to maybe 115hp
trailerable (so max 5.5 ish m)
Sensible electrics ( plotter of some kind & depth + engine)
decent ish make ....not overly 'commercial' - I dont need a humber or delta ....

It won't be new as I've got maybe 8-10k to spend ..

so suggestions please ?

Go......!

If I were you, I'd be making an offer on this:

That would be ideal...but cost comes into it....

I think whisper means sell streaker and put that cash on top of my.current budget......which could maybe be an option if the perfect boat came up...like that 5.3...which I'm guessing is gone, but are usually more money than I want to spend and rare.... :-(

I think theres a very clean Humber 5.8 (I think) with a Suzuki DF 90, trailer thats available on budget. All kitted out with mega low hours. Its in Dry Stack down here. I can check if you like. Owner (John, member on here) was going to sell it few weeks back but its still here at the moment

Kind, My **** ! Peter have you taken something recently? I would love to sell it at a stupid price contract or non, BUT my accountant says "NO" and the HMRC who like to investigate me probably would not speak kind words. Never mind it's fun to play at this time of year As I eluded to it pays to read

Come on Peter find Peter a boat

I have found you a boat

I know it's a metre over-size, but has 4 jockeys, stainless steel towing post and nice deep v hull. The two Yammie 75hp will easily fetch £1500-£1800 a piece... then you can buy boatsandoutboard's mint Mercury 115!

Trailer needs brakes.

Over-budget but nice.

Very nice boat --I know exactly where it is too ! ...Am sure it used to be yellow tubes ...and know ( by its location) the engine gets a good 10 mins of fresh water if its been out to sea...and it wil have been warmed up for ten minutes getting down the river before it will have been opened up ...

It's not mint, quite a clean example though, not sure its enough power for a RC 6.8 TBH
