Additional Information:

Outstanding fishing platform, based on the respected and proven Cheetah 10.2 range, safe, economical, fast, stable and loads of room! Well equipped and in excellent condition! Vessel has only been used for rod and line fishing with very occasional executive charter. Currently coded Cat B, 60 Mile for 6 + 2, with all safety equipment included, except liferaft on hire. Could easily expand numbers with addition of extra lifejackets and a larger liferaft, which would fit on the owned, expandable stainless rack on cabin roof.
Vessel was purpose designed for rod and line commercial fishing and care of the catch, with unique extra features, as below, based on experience with a previous Cheetah . The additional features include a stainless under extended cabin roof baiting station with integral rod and knife holders, deck wash, 30-gal Tec Tank livebait well, with electric aerator pump. 3 x Seaplast 220l insulated bins are contained behind the bait station in a stainless steel bund . These will hold ice for over a week. One has been converted to hold extra livebait if required. A unique removable stainless gutting table is sited on the port rear quarter. A removable stainless mackerel stripping system and gurdy are also included.
External seating under cover is provided for 2/3 on insulated, cushioned Icey– Tec boxes that can be used for additional ice/fish storage.
2 x 350l stainless steel, under deck, fuel tanks provide good range. The engines are rigged independently and in the unlikely event of 1 failing, the other will always get you home at reasonable speed. Never tested on this vessel, but 12 knots on one engine achieved on previous vessel. 2 x fuel water filters = fuel cut-off switches under gunwale.
Another deck wash and under gunwale pump situated on port stern. Dive ladder stowed + external fittings on stern.
Stainless rails to MCA requirements all round the vessel including the bow, where there is a self-draining anchor locker holding 250M of warp and chain to the anchor, secured on bowsprit.
The comfortable cabin has seating for 5, with separate helmsman and navigator seats and cushioned bench seat for 3 (2nd bunk) A diesel fuel, Wallas, 2 burner stove and cabin heater + sink is behind the helmsman. Lots of storage. Excellent Furuno quality integrated electronic package + more.
Shore power and 3 x 12-volt power points. The C-track battery maintenance system keeps the batteries in good shape, ensuring 1st time starting, every time. 3 x Vetus stainless double arm wipers + screenwash. Lighting throughout, inc deck floodlight.
Forward cabin provides flushing toilet, storage space, single bunk, and clothes hangers.
Vessel is available immediately, or later by arrangement and provides an opportunity to get an as new Cheetah, with new engines under Honda guarantee, without the build delay and at substantial saving on current cost.
Goldfish is a superb commercial rod and line vessel, ready to work, with the ability to convert to netting or potting with the installation of a generator and appropriate hauler. It can immediately be used for charter work and would also make a tremendous private recreational angling boat.
Will split licence and vessel, only if boat sells first. Genuine reason for sale is that elderly owner is looking to retire!
