The boat was comissioned in 1986 for Customs and Excise, I bought it in 1994 and used it succesfully as a diveboat until 10yrs ago when circumstances and ill health forced me to mothball it until now. Originally powered by a PP90 Jet Unit coupled to a Mermaid Turbo Merlin which I found wasn't a poweful enough combination. In 2000 I converted it to a new upgraded Mermaid Turbo Merlin (130HP) and Volvo Penta 280 Outdrive which proved much better, this new engine has only done 204 hrs. With a little work this would be a great dive or angling boat.Trailer not for road use. Suitable for manuevering onto transport. I could put any purchaser in touch with a local transporter.Photos below (hosted on photobucket)
