NEW

Clinker motor launch built by Nick Smith of Salcombe to his usual high standards. Unusually for a boat of this type and size, she has raised topsides forward with a small cabin giving a large double V-berth. This concept is most unusual but makes for an excellent family adventure/weekend camping boat that stands out from the crowd. 14hp Nanni diesel with very low hours, new all over 2-part cover and galvanised road trailer. A very complete boat that has hardly been used since new and is ready to go this summer.

Classic wooden motor launch for sale

Motor launch built by Robertsons of Sandbanks in 1955, possibly as a tender to a large Clyde built yacht. Used on the Thames by the current owner, she holds a BSS certificate valid until July 2025. Beta 13hp engine with new gearbox and a good road trailer. The boat has been ashore for a couple of seasons and has dried out, she needs some remedial work to get her back in commission. This work will be within the remit of the competent amateur so she would make an excellent hobby project for the right person and is priced accordingly.
