I Bought This Boat Two Years Ago To Use For Leisure Use But Then Decided To Take Part In Some Basic Racing-i’ve Now Got The Bug But This Boat Doesn’t Fit The Current Class Structure Hence It’s Reluctantly For Sale.

This Has Been My First Experience Of This Type Of Boat And As I Said I Bought It For Leisure Use In Comparison To My Previous Cuddy Style Boat This Is Far More Useable In Our Very Unpredictable Weather, It’s Great In The Flat Topping Out At Just Under 70 Mph But Also Very Happy In Quite Severe Weather, There Was Many A Time That I Had To Cancel An Outing Before- I Now Kind Of Hope For Some Chop, It Does Allow You More Use Which It’s All About.
I’ve Tried To Describe This As Best As I Can, It’s Been A Race Boat Most Of Its Life And I Would Say Is A Credit To Its Previous Owner, The Boat’s Not Mint But Is A Very Sound Sorted Boat That Has Plenty Of Life Left In It, I Would Consider Breaking /selling Seperatly But Only In The Following Sequence; Engine -boat-trailer. As I Would Need To Run The Engine For A Prospective Buyer And Cant Move/store The Boat Without The Trailer.also I Would Consider A Deal On Ocr Type Boat.

Instead of waiting till the weekend (daylight)these are pictures from when I bought it,the only visable changes would be the different lower tray and skirt for Alien cowl and the steering is now Seastar Pro.

I think it is a 1990 motor,it has no facility that logs hours-like the modern stuff.I've asked on here previously about scheduled rebuilds on this engine and the opion seems to be that the cost of a rebuild would be as much as buying a replacement used powerhead,so save money keep it properly lubed with top quality oil-I use Mercury Premium Plus at 35:1 ratio and I allways check the compressions regularily-this would hopefully give you an indication of piston/piston ring failiure.I have allways tried to use a prop that keeps the revs down as well.They will rev to way over 7,500 but I keep to 6,500 max.It is a race engine and probably my use has not stressed it at all but with any engine rebuilt or not they can let go anytime it is a bit of a lotery.Nic

Nic what props do you have going with the boat, also any safety equipment and are kill switches wired in. I do not see mention of ballast tank but think I see the intake in one of your pictures, is there one.

Hi it depends what the buyer wants to use it for,I will supply it with one prop,choice of Lazer 2 High 5 or Offshore.No its not got a bow tank,I've found moving the fuel tank back and forth(10 min job) to suit conditions quite effective,but not as adjustable as a bow tank in changing conditions I would imagin.Two Kill switches fitted,Anchor, Flag,tow rope and new compass just needs Flares and personal Safety gear.It has a new Greytronics intercom and a colour fishfinder that can be bought seperately if required if not I'll remove them.Lifter is not fitted but I would be happy to re-fit it if required.Cheers Nic

[NIC SURRY]

Hi I've been asked for addition photos,these are from when I bought it,I've made some changes to the boat detailed in my text but these are clearer photos than mine,Cheers

Hi its a CMC Cooks Manufacturing Company Power Lift aprox 5" setback and 6" lift,Ram has just had new seals fitted,new stainless hoses £125 which are long enough to mount the pump just behind the rear seat out of harms way,Its all alloy and I stipped and polished it early last summer so it looks the part £400 plus postage (£20 I would think).I will put it back together and take some photos at the weekend and post an add on here,Cheers Nic

OCR I hope,will probably wait till I have moved house as this should allow a better boat money pot-unless the right thing comes allong.If I'm still boatless and you need a nav please give me a call-are you planning any races ?.Nic
