Bluebird Jetstar 520

She has a semi-deep V hull powered by a Ford Essex 3.4 litre V6 engine, coupled to a Castoldi 05 Jetdrive, using a Castoldi raw water intercooler.

I brought this boat as a shell in 2010 and set about restoring it (I’ve run a classic car garage for my day job since 1986).

The carpets are bespoke marine carpets and can be easily removed if there’s too much sand / mud inside to be able to wash it down.

The engine is the South African version which I rebuilt using a mild upgrade cam; it has a Weber 38 twin downdraught carburettor Pertronix electronic ignition and a marine alternator. The carburettor was also re-jetted to achieve a spritely, but reliable 185 bhp. I completely re-wired it and all the gauges are quite recent, everything works!

The jet drive gearing was changed to suit and a new impellor was fitted. There are some spares to go with the boat.

I have loved this beautiful boat which is admired wherever she goes, It has been to shows and several CMBA meetings.

Shakespeare Mini Clubman for sale

This “Classic” mono hull sports boat, was purchased new in the late seventies from Jackie Wilson, the well known power boat racer,  and has been in the family ever since.

Fitted with A 50 HP 4 Cylinder (Blue Band) Mercury Outboard Engine, this is a very fast boat for its size. The hull was originally designed by David Burgess for the NE Monohull Class racing series, in the mid 1970’s. Still in its original colour, the boat is in very good condition considering it is 45 years old. Stored and sheeted in a dry and well ventilated garage for most of its life, has ensured this. The 50 HP Mercury was fitted in the mid eighties. and replaced the original 35 HP Mercury. This increase in power completely transformed the boat, with significant improvements in both handling and performance. This is a very well balanced package. Regular servicing of the engine has also ensured this is in very good condition. Winterised at the end of the season, after thoroughly flushing in fresh water, has been the norm. The cooling water pump impeller was replaced last year and provides a strong jet of water.

The only issue is starting this engine from cold, which is becoming more difficult, particularly as the engine has a manual start. Once running however, the engine runs well, pulling strongly at all revs without fail. Restarting from warm is never a problem, this will require investigation.

A fully galvanised road trailer, complete with jockey wheel and manual winch, completes the package.

Price. £2500.00

Ellan. Classic early 1900’s 13′ Mahogany Motor Boat

Professionally restored barn find. All original hull planks re-caulked and varnished. New decks fitted using Honduras mahogany salvaged from a Bristol pub! Coventry Victor ‘Midget’ 2 cylinder petrol engine. ‘Spare’ engine included in sale. Ellan is a 13’ long carvel construction mahogany tender. She has a Coventry Victor Midget MW2 engine which is a 4 stroke 340cc, 5hp, flat twin unit. The Davit points for lifting tells us that originally Ellan was a tender to something much larger and grander. This also probably explains the divided areas in the boat with the crew member sitting forward whilst the owner and guests sat in the back.

Included in the sale are:

• Spare engine
• Tonneau Cover
• 12v Battery
• Bilge pumps – original manual & 12v battery

JetMarine Swift 15 – 1985 with BMW 190hp inboard and PP 65 Jet Drive with Trim

For sale only to a good loving home. After 13 years of ownership she is sadly rarely used now as we have a bigger classic boat to accommodate the grandkids. Manufactured by Jet Marine of Stockport she is one of only 25 boats built and one of only six with the BMW B190 6 Cyl engine, gauges and livery. It was an expensive high quality boat in its day and sold mostly as a fast (45mph+) tender for superyachts and sold to Royal households around the world (Saudi etc.) including one on the Royal Yacht Britannia. The boat is 95% original and sits on the original Hallmark 4-wheel braked roller coaster trailer, only the original two small rear jump seats are missing. It’s been used as family ski boat and at various CMBA events in the past; Chertsey, Cardiff & River Soar. It’s got low hours and in overall very good condition with just a few small blemishes commensurate with its age.  The windscreen has suffered crazing from the sun but otherwise the hull and decks are all sound and she polishes up well. She was last run in June this year (2021) to check her over (see video at: https://youtu.be/-vCA_BvyykE ) located near Rugby.

Albatross Continental MK 1 with Coventry Climax Engine

As previously active members of the CMBA, our much-admired Albatross Continental Mark 1, which has featured at many of the events both coastal and inland, is now for sale.  As our years advance, we are now turning our free time towards other leisure pursuits, especially with the family.

Our Albatross Continental MK 1 number 1094 was built in 1957/58 and was only one of the 163 fitted with a 1220cc Coventry Climax engine.  This engine has been completely rebuilt and is running well.  The boat has been rewired and fitted with a safety kill switch.  New instruments were fitted in keeping with the original style.  With good upholstery and all other original fittings, this boat is an excellent example of its type and can be said to be in very good condition.  It is also complete with its original ‘frog’ navigation lamp and the original mast for a pennant.  It also has its rear mast as well.

It sits on a rebuilt but original trailer and is fitted with new suspension units, hubs, wheels and tyres and naturally tows very well.

The boat comes complete with a fitted tonneau cover and an overall cover, both of which are new, together with quite a lot of spare parts.

£12,000 or near offer.    Call J Harris 07774 475089 for further details.
