Description
This is a project. I last used it 8 years ago and all was well, however the ravages of time and weather mean a little time and money need to be spent.An early Fletcher Arroflyte, best guess c 1984It will need new windscreen, very simple sheet from B and Q, easy to cut and fit, I have done it before.New floor and strenghteners, Simple cutiing of ply sheet and glass fibreing in. The rest is cosmetic, ie, new carpets, trim, good clean, new stripes and all the rest of it. Engine was great. Electric start and powered boat very quickly to over 30knts, but I would service it with new impellor before using, even though I put a new one in 9 years ago. It is manual lift up, but easy to do as well balanced.Trailer is solid. I hammerited it, again about 9 years ago and it wants doing again and one bearing is a bit grumbly, but these are cheap. The jockey wheel has fallen apart, so you would need a new one.Front bucket seats are scruffy and need recovering really if you want it to look nice. It has back seat, but I made it from a Vauxhall Nova seat and again would benefit from recovering.I am starting bidding at about half the price of what the engine could be worth, let alone the trailer and boat itself.I was easy to launch and recover, exhilarating to use, and am quite sad that I am moving and can't take it with me as I always intended to put her back on the river Exe to enjoy the Devon coast. Boat is in Exeter and viewing no problem by arrangement
