Advert Description
Refurbished 1960s GRP Fletcher Arrow 4 seater speedboat. Apparently was used as a racing boat on Windermere (with a 75hp outboard so very strong construction).
I've "scumbled" it, i.e. wood varnish finish to deck etc., painted in teal blue and reupholstered in blue leatherette (reminiscent of Italian lake boats).
I've converted a brand new 55ft/lb Electric Outboard to remote control (see photos) and coupled it to a brand new 105 amp Deep Cycle Leisure Battery. This should give a max speed of 6 to 7 miles plus per hour, and cruising for 4 to 5 hours on a full charge at 4mph.
So, it's got a new motor and battery, new paint and upholstery, new 6 ply heavy duty wheels and tyres, new trailer jockey wheel, new powerful searchlight, new navigation lights etc. New drop-down Chris Craft -type aero screens in toughened glass. Original speedometer with new sender unit.
Absolutely ready to go as it is, would eventually benefit from new paint below waterline, new hydraulic steering to replace original rope and pulley steering, and replacement rollers for the trailer (which incidentally is believed original and very strong construction.)
The lights are wired but not connected (so a Boat Safety Certificate should not be required), the brand new twin air horns are for display only.
Dimensions: Length 11ft.6ins.
Width 4ft.3ins.
Viewing highly recommended and welcomed. Please note that photos of boats always look better than the real thing! (or perhaps I'm being too humble!), so if you buy unseen that's up to you! UK purchasers only please.
We are 10 minutes from M1 Junction 29.
