Hello all
with regret I have for sale my superb
quality 16ft Broom Aries speed boat powered by a mercury 90hp 2
stroke outboard. The boat comes on a excellently designed Hallmark
rollercoaster trailer which makes transportation and launching a
breeze.
Due to moving to Australia I have no
option but to sell the boat so it can be looked after and enjoyed as
it deserves to be.
I purchased the boat around 4 years ago
and my dad and I spent around 4 months completely refurbishing
the interior and exterior of the boat all to a very very high
standard. The boat was completely stripped of its dated interior and
trim which was replace with hard wearing carpet and brand new seats,
the two front seats both slide and swivel making the ride comfortable
for all people. The rear seats are mounted on a single chassis which
very easily lifts up and pulls forward on a clever pivoting system
(which took an age to design and fabricate), this feature allows easy
access to the bilge pump and battery compartment.
In the front of the boat sits the 100
litre stainless steel fuel tank which is filled from the fuel cap on
the bow.
The boat comes complete with a
stainless steel ski pole and a stern ladder which were removed from
the boat during the refurbishment but all the fixings are there to
reinstate these.
The engine is a mercury 3 cylinder 90
hp 2 stroke with auto oil injection, I believe the engine to be from
about the year 1990 but it is very obvious from both inside and
outside the cowl that is has been very well taken care of by the
previous owner and of course myself. In the few times I have been out
in the boat the engine has never skipped a beat, as soon as the fuel
is pumped through it starts instantly. Despite this due to the fact
it has been sitting relatively unused for quite some time (apart from
frequent starts on land) I would recommend a general service of the
engine and its steering etc just to ensure tip top condition.
As mentioned the trailer is a hallmark
rollercoaster. It is around 4 years old but has seen very little use
(especially out on the road). The trailer uses a very clever system
where the rear rollers sit on a pivoting rail. The whole mechanism
moves to the angle of the hull as you launch and pull the boat out of
the water making the whole process very simple even as a one person
task. The trailer also benefits from auto lubricating hubs on the
wheels which work on a spring loaded capsule of grease, this design
forces any water out of the bearings and replaces it with lubrication
ensuring longevity of this very important and vulnerable part of the
trailer. (trailer comes complete with rear lighting tailboard)
Also up for negotiation are the
following items
four brand new quality mooring
ropes and anchor rope
grapnel anchor
launch extension bar (goes between
the tow ball on the vehicle and the trailer hitch to allow deeper
water launching and retrieval)
As for a quick description that is
about it but please don’t hesitate to contact me for further
information or to organise a viewing.
Thanks for your interest.
