fritchy Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 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.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
