513 'Platypus' For Sale - SOLD

[luke]

Hi,
I have for sale mine and my brothers first boat. It has been sitting on the drive for some years now and it is time for it to go to better home.

I am open to any offers.

It needs a rub down and varnish really with some small areas around the rim which need filling. The trim around the boat needs replacing. I have attached some photos which give an idea of the condition. With a little TLC this has the potential to be a very nice boat.

I can take more photos if needed and viewings are welcome. The boat is located in Bath. It does have a launching trolly and a road trailer. It also has a boom up cover which is fairly old. but still keeps water out.

Hi Luke,

I've thought long and hard about saying this but to be honest I think you should just give this to somebody as a total restoration project rather than expect someone to give you 250 quid for 513.

I think all moths should be saved wherever possible but unless the trailer is fairly new I think your expectations are a tad high.

I'm not going to list all the issues with the boat that are evident from the photos, I'll just say that If you just want rid of the boat then give it away to somebody (not me!) who will spend some months and probably a lot of money refurbishing her.

Cheers
Paul

Thanks for the reply. I knew it was a restoration project but I didn't realise it was that bad. I'm not trying to rip someone off I just mega over estimated. I will talk to my brother and prob try and give it away.
Thanks again for saying it in a polite way
Luke

If you put your Location in ,itl help the interested poeple,but you have to realise that to make it pretty for the Classic ,Vintage Racing scene is going to involve a lot of work as I have just started on one.
