Hypalon tubes replaced 2014 at a cost of £4000,Sea star hydraulic steering,Lowrancechart plotter,VHF radio,Fusion sound system (bluetooth phone connection)led deck lightingloads of storage,Powerful 2 stroke V6 engine, good fun but a little thirsty (but speed and fun always come at this cost) not sure of exact fuel usage but last time we were out diving around the Isle of Rona we left from Gairloch slipway and spent the day diving around rona and back it cost £80 to fill her back up.(I live in the highlands of Scotland, Gairloch and Rona are on the west coast for anyone who wants to look that up on a chart)The engine is a 1991, we were told when we bought this boat that these are excellent engines and we were worried about taking it to sea especially with using the boat for diving as worst case we would need to get someone decompressed in a chamber, and speed is important.however it has been the most reliable engine we have ever owned, thats including a 2014 honda four stroke. and a 2011 mercury 4 stroke.The engine was serviced 3 hours ago (engine hours) I have kept the old impeller as a good usable spare,The rib comes on an easy to launch/recover roller coaster twin axle galvanised, braked trailer,has had a recent overhaul, with 2 new tyres, the brakes from the front axle were removed as i find it easier to manouvre (they were a bit sensitive when doing tight reverse turns) all parts there apart from cable to put back if required, but it stops fine with just the back axle being braked.The cover was something I had made after we lost our dry storage, its a road towable cover very heavy duty and it keeps the road grime out of the outboard, which is handy as boat engines dont generally have air filters.this cost £1500 including the vatFor sale as I haven't had the chance to get out this year.any questions get in touch
