Hi Guys, I bought this boat a few days ago. She is in a pretty sad state and has a lovely big hole about 1.5m long. If anyone has any pictures or information about her it would be amazing to have. Cheers. Olly

Welcome Olly and well done for taking her on. If you want some unsolicited advice, get the seawater drained out of the machinery and flush it all out with oil, ASAP; immersion doesn't necessarily ruin engines. Where will you be fixing her up?

Hi Gary, I've already stripped the head and sump off. I'm afraid she's throw away. She s been left with salt water in the engine for 5 months

What actually happened to the boat to cause the sinking?

Supposedly struck something out at sea
