Dc 30 At Sutton Staithe Boatyard

[Ray]

I have no financial affiliation with this sale but thought it worth flagging up as it looks like a good buy if anyone is looking, subject to the usual disclaimers concerning survey and river trial...

An ex-Saucy Gem. The heaters look original but it's had an engine replacement by the looks.

There's an interesting note on the listing about the engine needing realignment. They're saying the cost has been quoted at £4800, but they also say 2 days work. By my calculations, that'd equate to something like £350 per hour, which seems excessive. I wonder if it's a typo and should be £480?

EDIT: just noticed that £4800 included the cost of realignment, plus other items on the survey.

The £4800 quote includes other works highlighted in the survey that is available , as mentioned in the details

We viewed this boat a few weeks ago and was extremely disappointed!! Plus with the additional £5k added to the price for the mentioned works, it perhaps isn’t the bargain that it seems. Just my opinion though. Regards Paul

A few weeks ago I had a mardle with someone who knows the boat well - it involved a great deal of tooth-sucking.
