For Sale - My much loved Explorer Elite Fast Fishing Boat / Outboard(s) / Trailer TRURO, CORNWALL2 previous (local) owners, kept in driveways / garages throughout and in very good condition. Wonderful, easily handled and VERY fast fishing boat (22-25 Knots). It is very stable either under speed or while fishing (you can sit on the gunwales while fishing). Easily accommodates 3-4 active rods. Cuddy is excellent when under way or sheltering from rain / weather. Hull is in excellent condition, no dings or digs. I've just replaced the whole length of rubbing strake / fender. White GRP polishes up very nicely.DESIGN CATEGORY: C

Buyer collects (I'm afraid I no longer own a vehicle capable of towing the boat!).Lots of other boating gear will be included if the boat sells for a price close to what I'm asking.The boat has been anti-fouled at some point (not by me) but I've never re-applied any as it's only ever used as a day boat. However, I am including a 5l tin of International blue anti-fouling which I bought in a slightly mad moment.The Mercury auxiliary / wing engine is a very very clean 4-stroke and swaps to the same fuel supply pipe as the main engine when in use. VERY lightly used.PLEASE, no crazy offers or tyre kickers. This is a genuine sale and I'm not interested in agencies or brokers or time-wasters. Check my feedback for confidence.I'll be advertising the boat elsewhere too. Viewing is fine, Truro Cornwall, and I can send some more photos if they're required (eBay restricted me to just 12).Reason for selling is that I haven't used it for 4 years now and it's just wasted on me! It cost me £8,500.Boat will be released once payment has cleared.Many thanks for looking!
