Quicksilver Pilothouse 580 for sale

[fritchy]

Hi everyone,

 

After much consideration I have decided to offer my precious boat up for sale. My job is taking me to Cheshire on a regular basis, so I am not getting to use the boat enough to justify the cost of keeping my boat in the marina.

 

One option is to buy a trailer and keep the boat at home, but then I would use it even less. I may still consider doing that, and bringing the boat back down when job circumstances change.

 

I originally took delivery of the boat 5 years ago, and was unlucky enough to have one of the Quicksilver boats that had the well-documented problems with the integrity of the hull. However I was lucky enough to have bought it from the late lamented Oceanique, who supported my situation, and delivered me a brand new boat 2.5 yerars ago.

 

So what is for sale is a 2.5 year-old boat (6 months hull guarantee outstanding), with a regularly serviced 5 year old 70HP Mariner outboard.

The Quicksilver Pilothouse 580 is about 20ft, has a 2-berth cabin, with (unused!)chemical loo, and single burner cooker. Depending of course on the sea-state, it is happy to cruise in the high-teens knots, with top speed (according to my GPS) around 21/22 knots.

 

It is equipped with a Simrad CE33 plotter/fishfinder, plus a Navman monochrome fishfinder. There is also a Silva DSC VHF radio. I also added additional Stainless Steel railings to improve safety for my children.

 

I was advised that the boat would currently be priced at about 13-14000 pounds. If anyone is seriously interested in making me a reasonable offer, please send me a PM.

 

Yours in mourning....
