Good job

Nice one.

The XR20 is a quick boat, apparently. Have you had her out on the water yet?
Is the Yam a 115 or 130?

Jizm · 13 July 2009, 21:32

will it be for sale when done?

Nice.......

I didn't get the chance to go out on it unfortunately but it looks like a capable boat with 115 yam, it could be for sale, if anyone's interested i'll put you directly in touch with the owner, PM me.

Cn you tell us how you refurbished the tubes??

They look so much better??

Thanks

The tubes are new hypalon, originally these boats had one chamber on each side, the new tubes have a bulkhead so there are now 4 chambers in total with pressure relief valves, other work included repairing a sizeable hole in the deck which previously been repaired very badly after an impact to the hull, polishing, rewire and new upholstery.

Just wondered what they go for?

One sold down here a couple of years ago for around £8500 IIRC. Twoz all black with a Soozook DT100 & trailer - looked in nice condition too.

I would have thought it was worth all of that now, possibly 9500 at this time of year, the owner bought it on eBay.. Good tubes, one careful lady owner..excellent condition, Honest guv! And it turned out to need all this work
