Additional Information:

With great regret up for sale is my much loved Classic Colvic 20 fishing-pleasure boat which I have been slowly restoring for over 3+ years, I started it 10 years to late in life and sadly ran out of time and energy and poor health is forcing me to admit I am never going to be able to finish it.
It was in a sorry state when I got it (see pics) and I didn’t realise the work, time & money needed to properly sort it. Please understand this has had much love, sweat, and more than a few grand thrown at it, and has not been quickly just nailed together, I was so lucky to have the advice, guidance, and much needed hands on help of one of Plymouths best boat builders for the first 12+ months without who It would not be about 75% completed, don’t get me wrong there is still plenty to do and lots will depend on your enthusiasm & D.I.Y skills to determine whether it ends up a 6/8 or 10 grand+ boat. I’ve done far too much to write it all down so please look at the photo’s on the link below to judge the work already complete, and then give me a call, if it’s of interest to you, thanks Barry 07979633712
Main points done
1, Started with a full bead blast of the hull, 2, any hull repairs were properly carried out and the rudder & all keels removed and renewed, 3, the hull then was turned over sanded and recoated with 7 coats of gel coat, It’s had first & second sanding but needs a fine sand and polish. 3, Turning it back over a new 19mm external ply deck fitted, and fibre glassed in, 4, we fitted a new foredeck, moved the gunwales forward 50 cm as I wanted more room on deck this meant a smaller cabin, but still big enough. 5, new Cabin, cabin bunks, deck bunks & helm box (seat) and kitchen area were made.6, New rudder and prop carrier made and fitted, 7, I bought a tired Bmc 1.8 diesel engine and reconditioned it, (re-bore, new over sized pistons and rings, replacement head skimmed, new big end bearings and shells complete engine gasket set) it’s been bench tested and runs sweet, working gearbox fitted.
Please note the 4 pistons alone were £560, engine now owes me well over a grand and is being sold separate, as an option.
8, I made new engine mounts and have dry fitted the engine into the boat and cut & aligned the prop shaft correctly.
9, I have made a purpose built twin wheel road trailer to carry it which has rear brakes new cables and alloy wheels, again available for cost price if required.
I also have all the stainless hinges and latches to finish and I’ve made cushions for the forward bunks head lining for the cabin, new control cables dual throttle controller new helm seat, S/S hand rails, bow rail, there’s portholes, fuel tank and more, all included.
Checking my inventory it tells me I’ve spent just over £4000 to date, if you were to total the labour hours & storage cost then I know I am going to make a loss but it was started as a keeper not to sell so I am prepared to accept this.
The bargain price includes boat, trailer, and reconditioned engine +a working gearbox,
