Selling due to upgrade.I have owned this boat for 2 years now, I bought it with 70 hours on it, it now has 500.Engine:Yamaha 40hp 4 stroke in perfect condition, I have done oil changes every 50 hours and major services every 100. I have just done a full major service on it including changing anodes and impellor.I have installed a Parker Racor fuel/water seperator and filter.Starts up first time every time and runs like a dream. I have not had a single issue with this motor.If I run offshore to some of the king grounds (60km round trip) I use about $20-$25 in fuel. When downrigging I use less than a litre an hour.most of the hours on the motor are from downrigging and squidding, this is primarily what i have used the boat for.Hull:Great little hull in good condition for its age.I have done extensive work to make the boat capable off handiling some offshore chop and swell, I have had extensive bracing throughout the floor, anchor well and dash to strengthen the enitre hull. I have had a kill tank/esky out in under the floor with insulation.I have fitted a bilge pump and float switch under the floor.The floor was re carpeted 12 months ago with high quality marine carpet. It looks awsome.Features:*Bilge pump and float switch under floor.*Live bait tank*Rear removable seat.*13 rod Holders including a rod rack mounted inside the boat to keep your reels dry.*Downrigger mounts both sides of the boat so you can choose what side you want your downrigger on or run two if you like.*Twin battery setup with isolation switch (12 months old)*Transom mounted stainless burley bucket with mucncher.*Powerful underwater LED squid and bait light.*Bimini (not pictured)*Anchor and rope.*Lowrance VHF/FM radio, can listen to music while still using VHF. 12 months old was about $400.*Drink holder next to steering wheel.*Glovebox with 2 drink holders.*Twin fuel tanks 40 litres in total (never used both in a day).*Removable custom made bait board.*Full LED strips all around the boat for lighting at night (very bright).* Lots more features i cant think of right now.Comes with basic safety gear.This boat has taken me everywhere from fishing Sydney harbour to the shelf for dollies, Been out to the Great Barrier Reef in it off Cairns. I was doing over 120km round trips to the reef chasing macks, trout and GT's.Ive caught hundreds of kings all through Sydney in thsi boat. With all the mods done and the way i have set the entire boat up its a fishing machine for one or two people and costs absolutly nothing to run.Engine inside looks brand new, can pull the oil cap off and show buyer how there is not a single bit of carbon build up. Motor ALWAYS flushed for 10mins after use. Boat always gets washed and sits in my garage so the paint is in great condition.Awsome little boat and perfect for fishing inside and outside not problems at all.Trailer:*New winch post and bracket (2months ago)*Just replaced both wheel bearings and hubs (happy to prove it).*All 3 tyres are practically brand new, repalced two of them 2 months ago.*Comes with spare tyre and bracket.*I have just replaced the wheel arch covers.*Brand new LED waterproof lights fitted a month ago.More than happy to take serious buyers out for a water test.
