Superb Sea Angling Boat

[Salar]

...nearly for sale!

 

I'm considering getting a new boat to replace my very much loved and cared for US built Bayliner Trophy sports fishing boat. Trade-in value with a dealer is even worse than trading in a car, so my only hope is to get a reasonable price privately. Before I put it on the broker network I wondered if anyone here would be interested. Full details below. She's currently in the water ready to go. Price guide £15,000+, if I can't get at least that I probably won't sell. Anyone interested, whiz me an email.

Cheers

Sheeesh some boat, if i could afford it i would have it for myself,alas i cannot.

 

Good luck Salar, hope you get what you want for her.

[Guest Ferret1959]

I know I'm hijacking this thread but HERE is another boat at a much more affordable price if anyone is interested.

[chris parker]

I didn't know they had salvaged the day boat from the TiTanic Ferret

 

Back to topic I have seen pics of Salar's boat and it looks superb, Trophys are not just a fishing boat but are great for weekending.

[Guest Ferret1959]

Not my boat Chris so no idea where it was from, do you reconise it then???

[Salar]

My beloved boat is going to stay in the family after all - having weighed up the costs and pros and cons, I would never get something as good for three times the price. I'm going to stick a new diesel engine and leg in her, give her a good clean-up and do all the jobs I have been meaning to do - and keep her! So if anyone in the Portsmouth/Nab/Selsey area sees her this Summer, she's either stolen or its me in there still! And thanks for the kind words, they reminded me how good she is....
