Remarks :This is an ex-ship lifeboat, as you would expect of a vessel made for this purpose; she is exceptionally well made with fundamental sea-going features. I would have no hesitation in taking this vessel to sea. She has over two tonnes of lead and steel ballast; she has a long keel and still has the engine configuration used if she were a ship's lifeboat with two smaller auxiliary engines and a single central engine of 70hp.The boat has been well maintained and upgraded throughout the years and has been in the same ownership for 20 years. The current owner had her lying ashore for almost ten years whilst she was refitted and has been in the water each season for the last 12 years.Accommodation :Sleeps 6 in two cabins4 x large single bunk berths in the forward cabinC-shaped seating to port in the saloon with storage belowLarge saloon tableConvertible double berth in the saloonLinear galley to starboard with cupboard & drawer storage, two burner gas hob, stainless steel hand basin with pressurised and filtered cold waterElectric seawater toiletWeheelhouse with helmsman and navigators seatUpholstery recovered in 2023Headlining and hull linings replaced in 2023Carpets renewed throughout in 2022/23Inventory :Navigation Aids:Garmin GPSmap 551 chartplotterGarmin GPS 128 Garmin echo 501c Chartplotter fishfinder/echosounderCobra Marine DSC, VHF radioGround Tackle:Delta anchorCQR kedge anchor Chain Stainless steel bow rollerDeck Gear:Stainless steel handrail on upper deckStainless steel mooring cleats, bollards & fairleadsStainless steel gantryStainless steel grab railsStainless steel boarding ladder Opening deck hatchStainless steel deck ventilatorsStainless steel pushpitCockpit bench seatSafety Equipment:Manual bilge pumpRule 1100 gph electric bilge pump Rule automatic float switch Electric searchlight Navigation, steaming & anchor lightsStainless steel gantry mounted foghorn Equipment:Canvas cockpit coverRadio /CD playerInternal & external speakersFlatscreen televisionMechanical :Construction:Built in 1970Ex lifeboatGRP hullUnderwater profile stripped & epoxy coated 2010 Professionally painted hull topsides in 2022Marine ply deck, fibreglass epoxy sheathedWheelhouse is a marine ply top, hardwood frame & professionally spray painted in 2022 Long keel with 1.25 tonne of lead & 1 tonne of steelTeleflex cable wheel steering with a galvanised steel rudder (re-galvanised in 2022)D fendering/rubbing strake replaced in 2022Mechanics:This boat is powered by three engines, the main engine is a Daewoo L034, which is used as the primary engine.
