PRICE REDUCED - Must SellHistoric Race-Boat: 1971 Cowes-Torquay-Cowes participant.
One owner in period and then only in one family to date.
Built by W A Souter & Sons in Cowes on the Isle of Wight using their famed cold-moulded technique to a Ray Hunt design for Mr William Govett.
W A Souter & Sons developed their cold-moulding technique and this boat, Laksfors III, is an excellent example of this type of construction, being well suited to one-off commissions/manufacture.
Laksfors III took part in the 1971 Cowes-Torquay-Cowes powerboat race and was powered by two 325 Mercruiser engines in period.
Subsequently sold into the present family and lightly used at weekends and family holidays. The Owner and Vendor grew up on this boat and took Ownership upon the passing of his father.
This is a turn-key opportunity after the sea trial which will be videoed. (The Broker has taken videos for the start-up of each engine and the powered engine hatch).
Now powered by twin 6 cylinder Yanmar turbo-charged diesel engines driving RTS drive-legs: Laksfors III has only done about 345 hours since major over-haul of each engine.
