=====================

Have you got photos of the damage?
No. Unfortunately vessel is sitting hard on the ground without its keel, and thus unable to show the damage where the keel bolts on.

How long ago was last survey?
2016 This was the time when it came to grief.

Does the motor and drive all still operate?
No. The motor & gearbox would need to be taken out of the boat and reconditioned
Cummins 6CTA 8.3 litre. (C Series 250-430hp) Hour meter shows 4299. Believe actual hours around 3000 hrs since installed new in boat around 8 years ago.
Motor coupled to a Twin Disc 2.5: 1 hydraulic gearbox.

Is the hull/deck and coach house glass?
Yes

What happened to the keel when it landed on the rocks?
It was a timber keel – bolted to the bottom of the hull. It was ripped off, along with the shaft, propeller and rudder. The prop is still available, but damaged. Rudder skeg also available.

How was the boat removed from the rocks?
Filled up with floatation before being dragged from the rocks by a larger vessel. Temporary repairs were also undertaken to stop water from entering the hull. Some of the foam covered f/glass ribs were damaged on the bottom of the hull

Is a spec/inventory/damage report available?
No. Vessel is missing a keel. A new keel will need to be built if existing shaft drive motor is to be utilized.

Is the boat repairable?
Yes. Could be undertaken by a handyman or tradesperson. Estimates vary from $20,000 to $40,000, subject to the motor and gearbox being repairable

What are the measurements for transporting?
Length 12.7m x 3.89m x 3.6m.
