13.5' Dory type open, day/fishing boat with 35hp engine

WELCOME TO MY LISTING FOR A DORY TYPE OPEN, DAY/FISHING BOAT WITH A 35HP EVINRUDE OUTBOARD.

AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICS THE SEATING LAYOUT IS RATHER UNUSUAL FOR A DORY AND UNIQUE WITH THE CENTRE CONSOLE. THIS WAS THE MAIN REASON I BOUGHT IT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. I NEEDED A USABLE AND SAFE SEATING ARRANGEMENT TO TAKE MY YOUNG CHILDREN OUT ON THE WATER AND AS YOU CAN SEE I COULD SIT ONE OR BOTH OF THEM IN FRONT OF ME WHILST DRIVING IN THE CENTRE OF THE BOAT. THE LAYOUT ALSO WORKS WELL FOR 3 OR 4 TO DO SOME FISHING.

THE ENGINE RUNS ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON (100% RELIABLE) AND ALWAYS STARTS WITH NO MORE THAN 3 PULLS FROM COLD. OBVIOUSLY ONCE WARM IT WILL START ON 1 PULL. AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS SEASON I FITTED A COMPLETE NEW PULL START. I ALSO HAD A BRAND NEW GEARBOX FITTED AS WE NOTICED THE PROPELLOR SHAFT HAD A FRACTURE AND AS I COULD NOT LOCATE THE SHAFT ONLY, A NEW GEARBOX WAS THE ONLY SOLUTION. AS YOU WILL ALSO SEE FROM PICS A PROPER MOUNTING PLATE IS FITTED TO CARRY AN AUXILLARY ENGINE.    

BEING A 35HP THE BOAT DOES AROUND 25 KNOTS AND CAN THEREFORE ALSO BE USED FOR SKI-ING, WAKEBOARDING ETC. 

THERE ARE A FEW SCRAPES AND SCUFFS AS YOU WOULD EXPECT, BUT ONLY MINOR. THE TRAILER IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND ROAD WORTHY.

VIEWING WELCOMED AND ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK.

CASH ON COLLECTION FROM COLCHESTER, ESSEX WITHIN 10 DAYS OF PURCHASE.

AS YOU CAN SEE FROM FEEDBACK I DO NOT SELL RUBBISH OR MISLEAD PEOPLE.

YOU CAN CONTACT ME ON 07740 738278 TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS OR ARRANGE VIEWING.

CASH ON COLLECTION ONLY AS PER LISTING AND NO BUY IT NOW AS QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS POSTED.

FORGOT TO MENTION THAT A PAIR OF OARS, ANCHOR AND FUEL TANK ARE INCLUDED. THERE IS ALSO A SAFETY LANYARD THAT CLIPS IN ON THE HELM CONSOLE AND THIS MUST BE CLIPPED IN TO START THE ENGINE. THE LANYARD HAS A WRIST BAND SO IF YOU NEED TO STOP THE ENGINE AT ANY TIME YOU JUST PULL THE LANYARD AND IT STOPS THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY.

THE WINCH WAS RECENTLY REPLACED ON THE TRAILER AND IS THEREFORE IN A1 CONDITION. 

AS THE AUCTION IS ALMOST OVER AND THE WINNER COULD BE TRAVELLING A FAIR WAY, I'VE HAD THE BEARINGS AND WHEELS DOUBLE CHECKED AND ALTHOUGH PRETTY GOOD ONE BEARING MADE A SLIGHT NOISE AND ONE WHEEL HAD A BIT OF CORROSION ON THE BACK. FOR MY OWN PIECE OF MIND I'VE TODAY HAD BRAND NEW WHEEL BEARINGS FITTED (BOTH SIDES) AND EVEN GONE TO THE FURTHER EXPENSE OF ALSO HAVING BRAND NEW WHEELS AND TYRES FITTED, SO THE TRAILER IS IN A1 ROAD WORTHY CONDITION.
