5.4 Avon Searider

Following a previous rebuild thread this boat is now for sale. I will be adding deck hardware and building it up in the next couple of weeks but am advertising it now as a 'blank canvas' if you like, ready to be fitted out to someones specification.
This started life as an MOD boat with a heavier Lay-up than the standard.
The Hull has been refurbished with several coats of Gel, sanded back, wet and dried and polished to original finish in brilliant white.
The original Stainless steel transom knees have been removed and replaced with Foam glass sheathed sections which have been flowcoated along with the rest of the internal area.
The deck is also new and has been raised slightly to increase the internal beam which means a double Console can be fitted if required along with side by side Jockey seats.
The deck remains uncoated for glassing in Consoles etc. if required. I wil use a product called Protectakote as an Anti-slip which is used in Commercial Marine applications. Details can be found here:
Protecta-kote is an advanced Polyurethane anti-slip paint that lasts, anti-slip UK Specialist, anti slip coatings
Tubes are original Brand new Avon 1670 Dtex Hypalon in grey. I have added a Teardrop rubbing strake and have handles, wear patches and liflelines to add if required.
The hull has been left as flooding but will include a brand new blanking plate as well as new Elephant trunks, Jamming cleats and Transom and Bow U Bolts.
I have put a lot of time and love in to this project and would like to see it go to someone on here. I will provide a 1 year warranty on the hull, tubes and fittings. These boats speak for themselves in terms of seakeeping ability hence the effort in rebuilding and will provide many years of trouble free service.
Please get in touch if you are interested.

Following quite a lot of interest in the boat I am adding the following details:

Full deck width 99
Internal beam 120
Useable deck length 363
Beam overall 218
Length overall 545
Tube diameter 55

I am asking £3000 for the boat 'as is' with Lifelines, handles, wear patches and Anti-slip deck.
£3550 gets a brand new glassed in Double console upholstery and stainless backrest with additional double jockey seats for £200 each.
