Savage Javelin Ski Boat

If she isn’t sold in this next session I’m going to keep and fix the motors for another project, strip and scrap the hull and sell the trailer. Take the opportunity to save a rare classic. Buy it now for $1000. Savage Javelin with 55hp Evinrude. Boat is registered but the trailer isn’t.

I bought this boat to do up and use for a while but my lovely wife has other ideas. ‘Too many projects not enough time or money to complete them’ she says. I’ve had the tilt trim fixed so the tilt works. The trim piston doesn’t retract fully so it’s disconnected. It works fine without it or you can fix if you like.

The motor runs but needs a carby overhaul and service. The motor runs really well actually. The speedo was reading 30mp/h last time I was out and that wasn’t even flat out. Pumps water really well. Seats are good, dash with ignition, choke, tilt trim and speedo all works. Carpeted.

You also get a spare 55hp motor in the purchase. Almost complete. The topside paintwork is dismal. It needs a sand back, fill, prime and a couple of top coats. She will be a spectacular vessel with some knowledgable TLC.

She needs some deck fittings put on where a previous owner removed them to do his pitiful painting attempt. Hull itself is solid. Transom also solid. Trailer has new wheel bearings. Two PFD’s, a Fire extinguisher, anchor, fuel tank and new hose all included.

She kicks over and fires but isn’t staying going. Inspection possible in Hornsby. Message through classifieds board only. PayPal possible but you pay the fees.
