Broker's Comments

This Prospect 900 is a project it has been out of the water for a few years and a new engine purchased in 2014 has been partly fitted. The engine cost around £5K and the boat is advertised for less than that so its worth serious consideration. We think it will tidy up pretty well; but you need to be mechanically minded to figure out what's required regarding the engine installation as it is out of alignment.
Everything on board the boat goes with it and is included in the asking price; this includes a nearly new outboard, a large Garmin Chart Plotter etc .etc.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
