Description
I built this boat last year fort use on the River Severn around my home town of Bridgnorth, the boat had to be light enough to carry on the roof rack of my car, be capable of carrying at least two people and be able to be driven upstream on the river Severn by its motor, a 62lbs thrust 12v bison. It meets all these criteria but unfortunately is too heavy for my wife to lift onto the roof of the car so I'm selling it and making a lighter, smaller one.The boat is made from 9mm and 6mm exterior grade ply, the chines and gunwails are of douglas fir, the transom and front are of pine.I used this boat quite a few times last summer and had a lot of fun in it, went up and down the river all day long at bridgnorth, its top speed is about 5.5 mph over the ground so it will go upstream at bridgnorth (apart from the rapids at pendlestone/gadstone etc.)The boat is fitted with a bison 12v 62lbs thrust outboard motor and x2 75 ah leisure batteries. the motor is the most powerful 12v one on the market and is more than capable of driving this boat around on calm flowing waters like the severn, the 2 batteries give at least 3 hours of running time at full power before they show signs of running at less than full output and a lot more if you run the motor at lower speeds (for instance on a canal or lake) 62lbs of thrust is much more than 2 men can paddle.The sale is for the boat only, if you want to purchase the motor and batteries you can have them for an extra £250 (cost over £300 new )This boat should be dry stored upside down and not left in the water between usesPaddles and pfds are not included (get some off ebay)Please, no zero feedback buyers and please don't contact me saying you want to buy the boat for 1,000,000 dollars and can I accept wire transfer and refund the difference using gold bullioncash on collection or paypal please

On 07-Jul-16 at 12:43:39 BST, seller added the following information: Forgot to mention, The boat is fitted with a heavy duty 2 core cable with 2 sets of battery terminals at one end (under the seat in the middle of the boat) leading to a heavy duty waterproof socket at the stern, the motor has a corresponding plug under the stern seat there is a battery isolator switch with a removable key, meaning you can leave the boat unattended without worrying about anyone going off in it.
