Princess 35…..I wondered how he was getting on

1986 PRINCESS 35 FLYBRIDGE CRUISER RIVER POWER BOAT UNFINISHED REFURB PROJECT | eBay

shame he gutted it all. Outside looks nice. Still think he should have gone electric

 

[paradave]

He wouldn’t be told!

 

[Martxer]

25k spent already. Nice return on his investment

 

[Mr Googler]

I just noticed…..he’s got one of those cheap…leaky diesel heater silencers in the engine bay I think

That needs to go asap!

He has too that is not good. Easily replaced though

 

[simonfraser]

what sort of speed would that do against tide and a bit of wind ?

 

[Bigplumbs]

What confuses me is he has spent a lot on the outside Including Antifoul and the inside is a shell

 

[ontheplane]

Yes, sadly would have been worth much more had he NOT done any of that!

Where on earth has 25k gone though? I suppose the new engine was quite a bit... but even so

 

[kashurst]

How much is it worth now without an interior at all? £5K as a massive project?
The cost of parts and materials to bring it back to something sensible will be huge, plus several years or more to do it.
A reasonable Princess 35 with twin engines and all together seems to be around £35K - £45K.
Is a gutted one worth anything apart from the engine and gennie as 2nd hand units

Passerelle maybe! Gives you somewhere to sit at least

To be honest…it’s the sort of thing I’d take on…..except…it’ll take 2 years to motor across the Irish Sea

Who was he?

 

[Mr Googler]

Who was he?

Posted about here on here briefly. All started out well but didn’t like a few dissuading comments

Princess 35 Here We Go

 

[Bouba]

One engine and two passerelles

He must be French

Well, the boat might be.....new canvases all around.

Spoke to a Thames boater recently, the boat has not moved since. the refurb was started.
Recalled some time ago a Princess 388 that suffered the same fate not sure what happened that one, there appears to be no progress with the Pearl ashore in Chatham Historic Dockyard either.

Well its £6,600 at the moment with 5 days to go. guess some dreamer is going to pay way over the odds assuming reserve is met and we see it on Ebay again next year.
