This is a good quality set up 3.8m long. It is a comfortable boat with just you and your mate fishing with plenty of room for your gear, or there is also space to throw in the family. The carpet on the flat flooring in this boat makes it comfortable and easy to move about in. The boat has a battery box with a 12 volt lead acid battery, two fitted side shelves which are good for storing your bits and pieces, an anchor with rope and chain, plug in navigation lights, bilge pump, flares and a fire extinguisher. Each bench seat has clip on padded canvas enclosed cushions making the long wait for your fish dinner easy on the rear end. There are plenty of rod holders and the rear rod holder rack is removable if you don't need it on the day.The blue canvas custom fitted cover is well used. About half the press studs need to be renewed - but it still fits and keeps everything in the boat when you are travelling.The front fold down bimini cover is in much better shape with the press studs intact and it has two removeable side curtains included, but it has one strap that needs replacing. It is very good to keep the cold wind & spray off, and also provides protection from the hot sun in summer. There are two paddles clipped away from under your feet and two adult life jackets. This boat is very stable, it is 1.5m wide so it sits very well in the water, very handy if you have the kids on board. The boat is perfect for fishing rivers & lakes and will handle a bit of chop out in the bay. The motor is a reliable 25hp two stroke short shaft 1992 model Yamaha outboard that has been very well looked after. It starts easily, has even compression in each cylinder. It pumps plenty of water and changes gears smoothly and it still has its user guide. A good feature of this motor is that the gear selection is on the front of the motor above the tiller arm, so you can go from forward to reverse changing gears easily without taking your eyes off the snags or other obstacles in the water. This motor powers the boat along so you can get to your favorite spots quickly without wasting your valuable recreation time. The professional standard, but home built boat trailer is very strongly manufactured with very good tyres and wheels including a new spare mounted on its own bracket. The wheel bearings are in good condition and it is ready to tow wherever you may wish to travel. The trailer tows very smoothly at highway speeds or out in the scrub. There is a jockey wheel which allows one person to simply move the boat around in tight spots in the yard and it has a 7 pin flat plug fitted with all lights working. The trailer has an outboard motor support bracket which allows the weight of the motor to be shared evenly between the boat and trailer, minimizing the risk of damage on long trips. There is some surface rust on parts of the trailer - all normal from use and easily wire brushed away - cosmetic only. The boat is registered to May 2017 and the trailer is registered to Dec 2016. Transfer of registration is easy, currently $24 and I will fill in all the paperwork to allow you to just pop into VicRoads and transfer into your name, no appointments are necessary and you don't need to take the boat or trailer with you. I purchased this boat with the idea to spend a bit of money to tidy it up, but it is in good nick and I have decided to sell it as is. As a result you can purchase this boat at a reasonable price and use it straight away, or spend a little money and customise it for yourself. It would readily suit a first boat buyer, an experienced angler or someone who is looking to get a good boat package that is safe for the family and can be launched and retrieved by one person. This would make a great gift for the missus and kids. Local pick up only. I welcome any inspections or any questions you might have, and this can be arranged by giving me a call on 0403 466080. Winning buyer to contact me within 24 hours of the auction end, with payment and collection within 7 days of auction end. No exceptions, if these conditions are not met then the boat will be re-listed or sold to the next highest bidder. Please note that cash upon collection is my preferred payment method.
