Hiya folks,
My dad has finally admitted he'll never get round to finishing this project and has agreed (albeit, somewhat sadly) to sell one of his (many ::) ) boats. He's got his Clyde puffer up in Loch Etive now and is trying to raise funds to convert it into a houseboat - give him a wave if you're passing ;) so here are the details -
35ft (or it might be 36ft - he can't remember exactly !) steel hulled boat. This is made from 6mm plate and was fully shotblasted and repaired before getting the undercoat and hi-build primer applied. It has since sat, covered by a roof, and hasn't had anything else done to it. The paintwork needs a good wash down, but it's solid and ready for kitting out.
I think it's a 4 berth, cabin cruiser/trawler type boat (not speed boat or yaught) but since it's bare inside you could adapt it to your needs :thumbsup:
There are rudders and something else steering related to go with it - boat man is in Oban, so I'll double check exactly what it is and let anyone who's interested know.
Also included is the anti-foulant paint, more hi-build primer and top coat to finish the paint job, worth around £450 on it's own. But it's best not to apply the anti-foul til it's almost ready to go in the water. If you weren't sure of painting it yourself, Bruce (my OH) will gladly do you a good deal and do it for you ;) He's a shot blaster & spray painter to trade :thumbsup:
Asking £1500 o.n.o (plus painting if needed)
Also, to go with aforementioned boat ;) a Ford Leahman, 120bhp, 6.25L diesel engine and gearbox. Fully working when he got it, it's been stored since then. These things normally cost £800 before being reconditioned and without a gearbox according to my dad, so he's asking £800 for a quick sale.
If anyone wants to buy both together, we can and will happily talk discounts.
Drop me a pm if you're interested.
Karen :wave:

It's a bump and a price drop folks :excited:
£1800 for boat, paint & engine :thumbsup: (cheaper than a holiday home, and exempt from planning permission ;))
