Fairey Spearfish

Post by AdamY »

Halcyon - possibly for sale

She is a bit different as running Volvo Pentas on outdrives

I started a re-build two years ago - and it got more involved! Now I'm wondering if just easier to sell - as I my business does not allow me the time to work on her - and trying to get people to do work is increasingly difficult.

The hull has had lots of work and is better than new. I have made improvements to the spray rails and really looking forwards to seeing how she runs. Then the engine bay has been refreshed and flo coated, along with the fuel tank bay and forward storage compartment. I'm into over £20k on the hull work alone.

Engines are out and have a complete service and re-work. All hoses and fittings replaced, engines painted.

Would come with everything I have for her
- brand new windscreen from Gordon Currey
- new windows fitted
- deck fittings
- new toilet
- new electrics
- new Ali fuel tank
- new water tank

She ran really well - getting 34 knots and will be better again after this work

Just needs someone with more time than me.....

More details on request

Progress is slow - I'm too busy and can't get anyone to do what they are meant to do. So looking to sell.

More money spend since the previous post - such as trim tabs re-furbished and a few other jobs.

Has the potential to be an amazing boat. Maybe not for the purists as running Volvo Penta TAMD42's on Volvo DPX outdrives. But it works great and surely would have been the way thigs would have gone in time.

Advertised at £39995 - and owes me lots more (don't want to add it up). Whilst obviously what a boat owes does not mean it is worth that - it can reflect the work done and potential.
