Decided that i wanted something with a few more creature comforts.... (the wife wants a loo
)With age comes a different set of priorities, it no longer seems so important to go everywhere at 50+ mph
The search was on for some kind of walk around Sports Fisher.
I've been doing plenty of wheeling and dealing in the last couple of years and had managed to get together a reasonable budget.
The plan was to find myself a decent "Karnic 2050" budget around £17k. I didn't want another project and was looking for a boat with plenty of service history and a turn key package.
Karnic 2050
After several months of searching and a few over enthusiastic sellers with unrealistic expectations!
I decided to widen my search???Eventually a 2052 Trophy was forwarded to me to view.
The boat had two owner from new and had spent it's whole life in drystack, the hull was still original gelcoat not anti fouled, a new engine fitted in 2013 (4.3L V6 Mercruiser) also a whole folder of service receipts and owners literature going back to the original bill of sale.
The downside was that it had been left unused for the last couple of years due to the owners failing heath and required attention...
Now originally the idea was that i wasn't looking for a project and this boat did have a few issues, but an agreement was made over the price and before i knew it i was off to the west country to collect my latest impulse buy.....
If anyone's interested i will post up my progress, but i understand that this is a Sibbing Forum...
