For sale now has been my pride and joy for the last 3 years. Fletcher GTS 165 Arrowstreak 3.0 Mercruiser inboardI bought this boat as a project back in September 2013 that needed a lot of TLC due to lack of it and have enjoyed every minute seeing this boat transform from how it use to look when I first got it. I will list as much as I can below, starting with the heart of this boat that is nearly new with all the new parts on it. I have tons of paper work from purchases from my local parts dealer Trickett Marine. All the engine work has been done by a qualified Mercruiser mechanic, without him I wouldn’t be at this stage with the boat, he's also a good friend of mine and has enjoyed working on this boat since day one. In his own words he hasn't worked on an engine this old and still sound so good. I have heard these engines are built proof and not too bad on fuel either but if you go out gunning it everywhere it will certainly drink it. The engine lid and rear back rest turns in to a sun bed perfect for two or three people, she's perfect for anchoring up near the beach and enjoying the sun. There is a rear ladder to help you get back on and also you can stand on the leg witch also helps. The hull is in good condition, there were some minor trailer dinks from the previous owner but I have patched these up with special hull repair so no issues there at all. The boat has been stored inside at my work since I have owned it apart from July 2015 to December 2016 it was kept at a local marina for the summer so I had full use of it.Engine: Most new parts bought in 2015

New mudguardsI have ordered a new winch that should be here next week to be fitted. All this alone cost me over £700.00 only 2months ago. The original trailer was in a very bad way and so either way the work had to be done on it or buy a new trailer. The work was done by Wessex Trailers at Crossways. I have also repainted the trailer so she's looking as new.Sea trials are welcome however it will cost you £150.00 non-refundable. I am not having my time wasted, its cost £50 to launch at a safe slipway + time and fuel and cleaning the boat up again so only serious buyers apply please. Happy to start her up from the tap so you can hear her run. This boat will sit nicely at 40 to 45mph. I've had 54 out of her when it’s been flat along Sandbanks beach but to be honest she isn't built for speed at top end. She'll get up to speed very quickly with no problem and sounds great so she’s good for water skiing ect, there is also an eyelet at the centre rear of the boat to hook on to. I've fitted a new propeller sticking to near the boats standard fit but she differently has a faster pick up than before. I am open to 'sensible offers' and would really like her to go to a well looked after new home. It's taken me a lot of time and money to get this boat to its nearly original looking condition. A transfer of 10% via paypal to insure you are serious, collection within 5 days only.  Reason for selling... I have my eyes on a new project and I don’t have the room or money for two toys! No part exchange please. Thank you for looking. Honest ebayer, see my feedback.
