I have uploaded a couple of pics of the boat I am considering buying:
The blue you can see is an anti foul that I pressume will blow off with a pressure washer.
There are numerous small nicks and gouges with one deep one. It is 30mm deep and I believe repairable using the methods descibed elsewhere on these forum. The boat is about an hours drive away so I have not popped back with a camera to get any other shots. It is in a very sad state. I am quite handy so I am confident I can bring her back. She is I believe a 1999 hull with a similar aged Honda 50 four stroke trim etc. No electrics and was used as a ferry between a racing boat and the live aboard. The markings close to the transome are from the all round fenders, ahich have rubbed and stained.
One question I do have is that she is currently standing on a launching trolley so I will have to purchase a proper trailer. The type I have looked at is a swing roller beam. I appreciate that names vary across the Atlantic, I have tried to find an appropriate photo with no success. No bunks just large rollers that self adjust as the boat is drawn on or slipped off. Do any of you have any experience of these. I have done quite a bit of reading on the site and almost all, if not all are bunk trailers.
Thanks for your help, delay in purchase is the imminent arrival of my wife's new car............yawn. Bit cold and blowy at the moment so not much fishing.
