New (May 2019) Garmin 5” Echomap CHIRP 54cv colour GPS chartplotter/sounder/fishfinder, with original in-hull dual frequency transducer. Garmin G2 chart for all of UK and Ireland (VEU706L).

Full engine service (new impellor, etc) in May 2019 at Rib Shop.
Full custom RIB cover in 2016 from Cover Care in Chichester (cost £700).
RM twin axle braked trailer, with spare wheel and hub flush system. All 4 tyres replaced during my ownership. Brake cables replaced with stainless steel cables.
Mercury stripes on the aux engine were hand painted yellow by previous owner as an anti-theft measure. Could be tidied up, but the engine is a simple, reliable 2 stroke backup. Also fitted with security lock.
I’m not replacing the boat (not using it enough), so it will come fully equipped with things like grapnel anchor, foot pump for tubes, ClamSeal emergency repair tool, basic tool kit, Salt Away flush attachment for the main engine, flush muffs, inshore flares, 2 fenders, 2 security wheel clamps, miscellaneous bits of rope…
Great seaworthy boat and trailer package. Don’t come on the market very often. Stored in Southampton. £13750.
