1.5 BMC For sale.

[JawsOrca]

Hi all,

 

As we have a nice new engine for our sabre project we are trying to sale the 1.5 bmc which came with it. We haven't run it up yet but aim to over the weekend and at the same time I'm going to give it a paint! (I even brought a put of BMC paint for it!) But It will be sold as running (and painted!).  

 

Pros: its got two alternators (two 45amps I think) It's meant to be reconditioned, although we can't confirm that and the marine engineer we got it off can't confirm either although that's what he was told when he brought it (so not sure why I'm saying that?!).  We will ensure its run for a good time before selling!

 

Cons: Condition is unknown (other than confirming its run), there's no gear box included, it has a water pump but its not attached (you need to remove one of the alternators apparently to install this - We can maybe do this for you I guess).  I'm not sure how we will load this for you, you may need to hire the crane to load it

 

We are looking for £1200ono. 

 

I'm going to stick on ebay next week but just want to give heads up here as I understand these are sought after.

 

If you have any questions please message me and we will try and answer.

If you want top money for the engine you might want to pick up a gear box for it.

Hi Mark,

 

We do (kinda/maybe) have a gearbox for it. The engine going in the boat is a M4.15 Vetus and it has a new box with that which we wont need (as the boat has an outdrive). But I was hoping on selling that on later, plus I guess that will need some work to join together and we would rather spend time on the boat. (Plus my parents boat is a bad hydraulic conversion and that box would fit that.. if I can just find the energy to explain to them that they should use that box!!).

 

I'll be happy to get somewhere near £1200 though. It doesn't owe us this though so open to offers. (although I've stuck on ebay for a week at £1200 to see what it does).

 

Kind regards, Alan

Hi,

 

Just to advise as this isn't getting any interest and we really want to sell. Its back on ebay for £700 with a buy it now of £1000.

Please bid if interested.

Without gear box your £700 is getting more like its worth you were somewhat hopeful with that £1200 start. I cant say I want it though.

[JawsOrca]

I was trying my luck Mark We had interest but we want it gone really. Ideally it owes £800 but I know making money out of boats is impossible! So £650 - £700 would be OK.. You sure you don't want it? it's hand painted!

Nope I really do not want it, I know of a day boat that needs a engine but this is a bit on the big side for that! there is a regular poster on here whom runs a yard at Wayford bridge he will have a gearbox and could make a pound or two but Im not sure there would be enough profit to prick his interest.

You are allowed to advertise as you have paid for the privilege. I was aware or your GM10(s) and had passed on this info but the person whom requires one is not good at parting with money!

[JawsOrca]

Lol thanks to you both. I would paint it blue or yellow if you want but I'll have to add another £50 for the pain!

 

Hopefully it will go at some point. Ebay seems really slow although its still early in the year I guess. I don't really want to put a gear box on but if it doesn't shift then maybe if I look for one at a jumble (Someone must have an old one used as an anchor!).

I know you've clearly said that you want to sell it quickly, but if you could delay till Spring fitting out, you'd stand a much better chance.

 

If you search the  "completed listings" for "BMC" in "Boats engines and Motors" on Ebay where you have it listed, they're not going for much over the Winter, even complete with gearboxes.

Thanks Strowager, I was thinking the same.. I've listed other bits and had no interest (and this is stuff that has sold quickly before).  

 

Problem is though that we are looking at moving the boat from this boat yard into the yacht club which doesn't really permit storage and living on a boat too means I have no space so once we move I'll have to probably pay for storage.  Hopefully people will start spending soon..

Jon, Good Morning.

 

I can't do the 'ole Norfolk bit, as you do so well, and I've lived here for 34 years!

 

But I read all the lovely stuff you write on here and it's always a pleasure to read your narratives... we'll be 'oop North in early May for our Spring Cruise and would love to come and meet you.

 

Who knows, you may find something to do to Friday Girl!   :naughty:

MrOrca, try that "Nice" Mr Osborne at 11 Downing Street, he may buy the engine off you, after all, according to him we are rolling in it again!
