Hi and welcome to the listing for my Fletcher Arrowsport 155. This is a 1992 boat by Fletcher, manufacturers of the best and most iconic British speedboats. It is fitted with a 1996 Evinrude E70RNLIB 70HP two-stroke outboard.I bought the boat in 2012 and refurbished it with a new proper marine floor and carpet in 2012 along with heavy duty mountings for seats etc. Yes the seats are from a Peugeot 306 which are a great fit and comfier and more adjustable than the originals which didnt come with the boat, hence the swap. Cheap, comfortable and easy to replace!In March 2017 I have serviced the engine and updated the original Snipe Tiling Trailer so its ready to go. Its a twostroke engine and ive done the maintenance on it. Starts first time with a bit of easy start. The two petrol tanks included fill up for £60 and can get a whole day on the water. I have had 4 great seasons with the boat but have now bought something bigger. You dont get the feeling of speed in a bigger boat that you do with this one! Ive summarised the good and bad below and been honest about everything. It has been a wonderful boat and I am sad to see it go. If I had the space I would keep it!Good PointsSparks changed (March 2017)Gear Oil changed (March 2017)Greased propshaft, hydros and bearings (March 2017)Trailer new suspension, bearings, wheels, jocket wheel, winch, mudguards (March 2017)Fusion MS-RA50 marine headunit with FLI Speakers.Two removable 25L marine fuel tanks.Great condition floor and heavy duty seat mounting points. (Carpet loose at front so can be seen).Factory fitted rear steps.Factory fitted Stainless Ski Pole.Lalizas Hydrofoils to get on the plane quicker.Bad PointsEngine does require a spray of easy start to get it going when cold but starts on the key every time following this.The gauges are there but arent wired in. The RPM gauge works but that is it!Despite the work on the trailer to make it road worthy it needs further work to replace the rollers which as seen in the pictures are very much on their last legs. The runners the boat sits on are fine so the rollers are only an issue when recovering so extra care needs to be taken.It is a tilt trailer which should make launching easier but I have never used it in this way. The front arm is strapped to reduce play.The speakers arent fitted very well and the radio isnt as powerful as I would have liked.Where the previous owner fitted a floor they drilled holes through the bottom of the boat and having realised their mistake they put fibreglass tape over. Its done the job, no leaks purely an aesthetic issue.Carpet around the front footwell area isnt stuck down to show buyer floor condition. Will be stuck down following viewing/collection.Boat needs to be collected from Felixstowe. I work away during the week but will be available Monday, Tuesday following the auction end and also at weekends. Deposit of £250 to be paid within 2 hours of auction end.
