Fairline Fury 25 MK1 I do like :) Are they as rare i think ?

[waynes world]

I am selling my boat next year for a slightly bigger one that i can use on the canals and sea and after seeing one of these boats moored just down from me and actually helped the owners when they were having difficulty to moor in high winds early this year, i love them. Sat up high on the fly bridge and the lay out is great.

Now having spent a time trying t o find values and infact even many for sale i will keep hunting but anybody on here know of one for sale so i can get an idea of what i can expect fro around £6k. If it is a petrol i will likely fit diesels in place.

I had one in the eighties, nice boat with good use of space for its length

Wayne, here is a gem in the catalogue that you linked to - "Diesel engines are available on special request, but their low power to weight ratio destroys the sparkle and pure joy of going to sea in a Fury."

I remember reading a boat report on the Fury in the 70's, and lusting after it, thinking she was a very nice boat indeed..

Here is some more background info about this class -

More photos here, of a tidier example, but this one is also no longer for sale. She has two elderly Volvo MD2B 25 hp diesels.

Already seen them all lol, o have been spending all my little we spare time looking for info and prices but for the ones you linked to very little. If the double figure prices are anything to go by my £6k will get a nice project boat which is what i am after. The mr ei get for Khashoggi the more i have to play with

You think its worth calling the marina and asking about it, are they helpful that way ?

 

[Divemaster1]

Very helpful staff, so I would if I was actively looking...

 

[Ferris]

Didn’t the hull flex / crack on these due to inadequate support?

 

[waynes world]

Just to let those into these boats i have found one and will be going to look at it while working away next week. It runs the two Volvo 130`s and 270 drives bit of umph there then.

Oundle Marina built 139 of the "original" Furys up until 1974.
