      Boat has always been kept afloat but there is a leak or two in the hull as well as being prone to filling up with rain where applicable. Priority is find someone to give it a good home and tow it off the mooring within the next couple of weeks. If you feel confident to do this, please make contact.
      The buyer will need to assume ownership and responsibility of the boat on payment. I have had personal experience when it comes to rescuing unloved old boats, so be warned!    Cheers Bob.

On 13-Jul-16 at 16:24:12 AEST, seller added the following information:Important update, PLEASE read carefully if seriously interested in this boat.    Current photos are not available due to accidental erasure (unfortunately). Boat has been slipped in past few weeks, underside cleaned etc.
The bad news. Some new timbers on deck/gunwales purchased some time ago as Kauri have rotted and will need replacement. Paint on rest of hull is quite dirty, I guess will need repainting.
    Suzuki outboard will now be included in sale, has not been started for some time but has been clear of the water, no guarantees but was in good order and has not been used since, (turns over, gears select etc).
   If in doubt please make contact, any questions answered promptly.  

On 15-Jul-16 at 10:59:38 AEST, seller added the following information:Need to make crystal clear, NO TRAILER INCLUDED, I thought this was obvious at 99c, maybe not now.         Sorry for any misunderstanding, Bob.
