Additional Information:

My lovely fishing boat needs a new home. Originally built as a commercial creel boat but never used as such, Sula has bilge keels made from greenheart and a steel banded central keel none of which are rotten and needing work. The fibreglass is sound and has never been holed. She has been fully refitted with new iroko over oak gunwales all round and the full refit of the wheelhouse is in oak. Shelves, storage cupboards and hatches all craftsman crafted in oak. I replaced the asthmatic original Petter engine with a low hours Bukh 36hp diesel in board engine which is a sweet and powerful unit. With such a heavy displacement hull we are still able to achieve 8-9knots at 3/4 throttle. New throttle and gear change unit fitted - she steers astern well for easy manouvering. Cooling is by a keel cooler so no nasty rust inducing seawater has ever got near this engine and is filled with proper glycol based coolant and not shitty old water! Perfect starter! New 53 litre fuel tank fitted and new primary and secondary filters to protect the engine and in place. I replaced the stern gland and shaft assembly to ensure correct water cooling of stainless steel drive shaft - works perfectly with one drip every 60 seconds or so. It is really important that this part of the drive assembly works and cools properly to ensure long term running efficiency and safety. I created an open bow locker with a chain tube for the anchor which is also included in the sale. SHE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO OSMOSIS ! the hull has been anti fouled but this will be done again before the boat is sold. No marine growth is on the hull because she is out of the water for 7 months of the year due to the fact that I only run her in summer in the fine weather. I have a galvanised launching trolley that I would sell with her for £1800 if required. The boat is an immaculate cornish style creel boat and would give great service to either a real fisherman or a coastal explorer like myself! The best bit is that he wheel house has two seats so makes it easy to have a brew out of the wind. Call me and talk.

DO NOT SEND MONEY TO SELLERS YOU CANNOT VERIFY AS GENUINE.

If possible, travel to view the boat or equipment yourself and only buy once you are happy with it.
