Dateline Bikini jet drive speedboat
£1.200
Description
1980's 16ft V8 dateline Bikini speed boat for sale. This boat was owned by Aboyne water ski club some years ago. It has a rover V8 with SU carbs coupled to a Hamilton jet drive, fiberglass hull, 2 front seats, one rear bench seat, and a tow pole.
I purchased the boat about 10 years ago with the view to restoring it. It ran spot on and we had a couple of good days in the loch with her. The engine block froze one winter and burst the block. I have removed the engine and jet drive and purchased a reconditioned engine. The engine components need swapped over, and a few bits and bobs done. Its very basic and easy to work on, just needs someone that has the time.
The Trailer is a "break back trailer" which makes for very easy launch and recovery. All working fine.
To sum up, this boat needs a bit of TLC. Everything I have for the boat will be included in the sale including the new engine which cost £900. It is a project and will not be a 30 minute fix but definitely has the potential to be a superb boat again.
Let me know if you need anymore information.
