Read moreabout the condition Year of Registration: 1986 Use: Fresh Water, Salt Water Manufacturer: Taskforce Engine Type: Inboard diesel Length (Feet): 18 Engine Manufacturer: Mermaid Beam (Feet): 6.5 Engine Model: Turbo Merlin Trailer: Included
The boat was comissioned in 1986 for Customs and Excise, I bought it in 1994 and used it succesfully as a diveboat until 10yrs ago when circumstances and ill health forced me to mothball it until now. Originally powered by a PP90 Jet Unit coupled to a Mermaid Turbo Merlin which I found wasn't a poweful enough combination. In 2000 I converted it to a new upgraded Mermaid Turbo Merlin (130HP) and Volvo Penta 280 Outdrive which proved much better, this new engine has only done 204 hrs. The boat is for sale complete with old road trailer which is not suitable for transporting any great distance and a heavy duty beach launching trailer(needs two replacement front tyres). With a little work this would be a great dive or angling boat. Buyer arranges collection. I could put any purchaser in touch with a local transporter.More pictures below.
