Colvic 20 Fishing/pleasure Boat Part Restored

COLVIC-20 PART
RESTORED NEEDS FINISHING

Great winter
project!!

Now on trailer ready
to go

With great
regret up for sale is my much loved Classic Colvic 20 fishing-pleasure boat
which I have been slowly restoring for over 3+ years, I started it 10 years to
late in life and sadly ran out of time and energy and poor health is forcing me
to admit I am never going to be able to finish it.

It was in a
sorry state when I got it (see pics) and I didn’t realize the work, time &
money needed to properly sort it. Please understand this has had much love,
sweat, and more than a few grand thrown at it, and has not been quickly just
nailed together, I was so lucky to have the advice, guidance, and much needed
hands on help of one of Plymouth’s best boat builders for the first 12+ months
without who It would not be about 75% completed, don’t get me wrong there is
still plenty to do and lots will depend on your enthusiasm & D.I.Y skills to
determine whether it ends up a 6/8 or 10 grand+ boat. I’ve done far too much to
write it all down so please look at the photo’s on the LINK BELOW to judge the
work already complete, and then give me a call, if it’s of interest to you, thanks

Main points
done

1, Started
with a full bead blast of the hull, 2, any hull repairs were properly carried
out and the rudder & all keels removed and renewed, 3, the hull then was
turned over sanded and re-coated with 7 coats of gel coat, It’s had first &
second sanding but needs a fine sand and polish. 3, Turning it back over a new
19 mm external ply deck fitted, and fiber glassed in, 4, we fitted a new fore-deck,
moved the gunwales forward 50 cm as I wanted more room on deck this meant a
smaller cabin, but still big enough. 5, new Cabin, cabin bunks, deck bunks
& helm box (seat) and kitchen area were made.6, New rudder and prop carrier
made and fitted, 7, I bought a tired Bmc 1.8 diesel engine and reconditioned
it, (re-bore, new over sized pistons and rings, replacement head skimmed, new
big end bearings and shells complete engine gasket set) it’s been bench tested
and runs sweet, working gearbox fitted.

Please note
the 4 pistons alone were £560, engine now owes me well over a grand and is
being sold separate, as an option.

8, I made
new engine mounts and have dry fitted the engine into the boat and cut &
aligned the prop shaft correctly.

9, I have
made a purpose built twin wheel road trailer to carry it which has rear brakes
new cables and alloy wheels, again available for cost price if required.

I also have
all the stainless hinges and latches to finish and I’ve made cushions for the
forward bunks head lining for the cabin, new control cables dual throttle
controller, helm seat, S/S hand rails, bow rail, there’s portholes, fuel
tank  and more, all included.

Checking my
inventory it tells me I’ve spent just over £4000 to date, if you were to total
the labor hours & storage cost then I know I am going to make a loss but
it was started as a keeper not to sell so I am prepared to accept this.

Now if you
just want the hull and all the included items, and can source your own engine
& gearbox, then take Option one £2,200. If you want the reconditioned engine,
and the working gearbox add £1500.If you need the trailer add £900. OR BUY ALL
THREE FOR JUST £4,000
