selling my loved Sunfury due to ill health.I have owned this for the past 5 years and had some great times cruising up and down the south coast,Now for the problems / reason for selling.during winter of 2014/15 I trusted the local marine engineer to winterise the engines and then re commission in the spring ready for 2015, he was suppose to fit new impellors/ stats/oil/control cables/ steering cable etc. all I thought was good, it went back into the water in spring 2015.On the way down through Dartmouth the legs jumped up went I selected reverse to stop by the chain ferry, he had not adjusted the leg cables correctly.half way round to Brixham one engine stopped turned out he had not reconnected the stat housing and it blew all the water out and seized.on entering the Marina the steering cable snapped, he had not tightened the cable to the arm correctly.I spent all summer freeing up the seized engine and decided that I would overhaul it at the end of the summer.The boat came out of the water end of 2015 and has spent since then in the boatyard, I removed the engines and legs for overhaul, and that's as far as I got before I suffered heart trouble.I was considering changing to diesel engines after scrapping the old AQ145 engines which were shot.What it needsreplacement engines petrol or diesel ( my preferred choice)rewire the onboard lights sockets etc, general tidy up and polishthis is the perfect chance to put your own stamp on it, these boats when complete are worth circa £16000 with petrols fitted and £20000 with diesels.As mentioned due to ongoing health issues I have not been able to get down to do any more work on it during 2016, and reality means with operations coming up I can not foresee me been able to do anything for several months to come.The boatyard storage fees are paid up to the end of February 2017, after which you can either keep it where she sits or move it to a yard of your choice, she really is a great boat and any new owner will love using her in the future. The boat is in Devon
