28ft Ex-Navy Work Boat

I have for sale a 1942 Navy work Boat The boat was made by General Motors Holden for the Royal Navy It is constructed of diagonal plank hard word and has been sheathed in fiberglass by the Navy in the late 90's The boat still has all of its original bronze fittings and portholes The boat is strong and will last for another 70 years. It has a reconditioned 1.8 gearbox and a reconditioned ford 90 hp diesel engine. The engine reaches 90hp at 1500 revs .This equates to economical boating and it happily does 10 knots in any sea condition.

I have been out in 4 metre swells comfortably so if you want a good boat that will last another 70 years come and have a look Thousands of dollars have been spent on this boat and the only reason I'm selling it is I'm now about to start a 40ft version.

It is moored at Pickering Point and inspections are welcome - but no time wasters please. If you bid and win, I expect you to pay and remove the boat from it's mooring within 2 weeks. Do not bid if you are not prepared to commit to the purchase. Cash only on pick up.
