Sunline Discovery 31

[Jonathan2021]

Hey everyone
I just bought a Sunline discovery 31 which needs some work.
I am struggling to find parts, I'm also looking for a extended swim platform.
Does anyone know of a parts supplier? I'm based in the U.K.

thanks

Jonathan

Welcome to the Forum Jonathan.
I had to google your Discovery 31 - I found one that has just been sold. They look like nice boats.

Is yours on a river, or on the coast?
What specific parts are you looking for?

AFAIR sometime poster Rafiki had one and may be able to guide you

 

[Seastoke]

is it not a river boat.

Some info on the following...

I am curious to know how the crew gets to the bow from the cockpit.

 

[stelican]

Step off at stern or through fwd hatch.
On rivers bring bow line aft

Yep, we had a Sunline 31 on the River Severn for several years. Great river boat with the 2 Isuzu engines. This engine was used in Vauxhall Astra’s, so got consumables from the local Vauxhall dealer. Much cheaper than Mercruiser. All marine parts like pumps, heads etc are normal suppliers. Discovery went bump many moons ago. It is possible to get a fibreglass/gelcoat expert to extend the bathing platform. I got a new canopy made to my requirements from Harris Hoods. Brilliant job. My boat was at Windsor Racecourse Marina for a while. Not sure if it is still there?
I‘m happy to answer questions if I know the answers.

I own the moulds for the Sunline 31 which is now the Quayline 31. There is info on our website . I may be able to help. Would also like to contact any other owners you currently own this model as trying to gather a data base on them. Plus it is not a River boat .

Mine was.

Mine was.

What I mean is , its was designed as a coastal boat, ( similar to a Sealine S28) but just as good on Rivers with the right engines

have you sold any 23 yet.

Not exactly ideal then.

I don’t think the twin Isuzus were really powerful enough for coastal use. Perfect for us on the R Severn. We had 5 great years in ours.

Ok if singlehanded?

 

[Durley245]

The side decks are very narrow, I changing it to gain access by a slit/hinged windscreen arrangement. There is a slit section on the Bow on the Pulpit rail to gain access, but not ideal.
