I have never used this boat, although I bought it more than a year ago.  Unfortunately an accident to my back has prevented me doing so. Also, I later had to trade down to a smaller car, so won't be able to tow it. The 70 hp engine (2-stroke) was demonstrated when it was delivered and it worked well.  It is quite a powerful motor for a boat this size. The last user used to take it to the Cornish coast for fishing trips. He told me that when he bought it, it had been sailing from Chichester harbour for commercial fishing close to France.  The boat will seat several people in the cabin, as the photos show. It is just over 6 ft wide at its widest point.There are quite a lot of extras such as lights, a fish finder, wash basin and tap, a tarpaulin cover, cabin extractor fan and a concealed gas stove for making refreshments.  There is also a separate rigid cockpit canopy that needs minor attention to make it waterproof (see last photo). The road trailer is in good condition - it was last used to bring the boat about 100 miles to my driveway.Sorry, but I won't be able to answer many questions about this item, since I have no experience of using it. The batteries have been kept charged so the bilges can be periodically pumped.The boat is stored at Huntingdon, close to the A14.
