I have owned this boat since September 2012 and I am its 3rd owner. We have a lot of details about the boat's history. It was bought new in March 2005 at a cost of £13000. It was then used for a total of 26.3 hours- according to a use log I have- and then laid up in the first owners' drive from May 08 until August 2011 when it was sold to its second owner. He used the boat for a year and decided to sell it in order to get a much larger boat with cabins for the family!Neither I nor the second owner have kept an actual record of the engine hours, but with our 1 week a year (and we didn't put it on the water until Spring 2013) and owner 2's estimate of 30hrs use, I would think the engine has done approx 100hrs.The boat is kept in a boathouse, with the cover on for 51 weeks of the year and THIS is why I am selling, it just doesn't get enough use. We live near Worcester and so any expedition to get to our preferred boating areas of Helford River, Fowey or Noss Mayo is lengthy and a major undertaking. To be quite frank, if we lived nearer to the coast I wouldn't be selling the boat!The boat comes fitted with a Garmin GPSMAP 551S, is preloaded with British charts, and has a fitted Transom Transducer giving excellent navigation information, including fish finding and depth readings - this originally cost £530 in August 2011Stainless steel guard rails are fittedAll cushions are present and in good to very good condition (colour navy blue to match the boat) - only the helm seat is shown in the photos as the other 3 cushions have been removed for storage.

There is a fitted filler cap which makes filling the tank easy. The engine pumps cooling water very well (see photo) and has always been well flushed with fresh water after use. The prop does not have any damage and the engine and gearbox oils have been changed regularly. The power trim and tilt works very wellThe battery is in good condition, easy to access and is fitted under the helmsman's seatThere is an all weather fitted cover in blue which is in quite good condition but could do with a little mending in one or two places.The second owner did not like the Bramber 590 trailer purchased new with the boat and so he bought a new Indespension Coaster 5 Swing trailer complete with steel mudguards and steps in January 2012 for £992.71I have renewed and upgraded the tyres and renewed the wheel bearings which have spring loaded greasing attachments
Launching and recovery is not a problem as the swinging rollers at the back of the trailer make the job very easy without having to back too far into the water.Viewing is recommended and welcomed by appointment - this boat is lovely and as I mentioned I am only selling it because of where we live.
