1964 "Miss Silver" up for sale

[cavitation]

Came across this listing for a 1964 Miss Silver. Saw them being built at Silvers in the early 60s. This one has a 50 HP Yanmar which must have replaced the BMC Captain engines usually fitted. Would make a super project as it does need some work but a great looking boat.

used to know this boat when on the dart. she was well looked after then.

the issues must be drastic as the same brokers have a similar but older one at 3 times the marked price that has just been sold.

They are pretty drastic. I was interested in this boat and recently viewed it on the hard at Chichester. Another interested party was present and it was obvious that there was severe problems with the sheathing as there were dinner plates sized bulges all around especially the port side. It needs all the sheathing grinding back before you could survey it. The other viewer, who was a joiner, poked his finger right through the planking near to the keel. Even the broker thought that it needed around £15/20000 spent. Even if the hull was sound the rest was not as you would assume from the details, very rough with what appeared to be paint spilled around all over. A very great shame as it was just the boat for us.

Sorry but I wouldbt trust the brokers as far as I could throw him.
