Poncelet Now Sold

Post by kgarla »

SOLD AUGUST 2022
Good Mooring All.Decisions have to be made and this one was not easy but necessary. So I am posting this on behalf of Mum. Please feel free to contact her or me if you want more information and photos. Kgarla :wot:

Regrettably I have reached the age and time when I must offer our 1970, 5 metre Poncelet for sale. She has been wonderful fun since we bought her in 2005 and during that time we have spared no expense in looking after her and her 1979 Mercury Tower of Power 90hp straight 6 engine. Many of you will have seen her at CMBA events and I would love her to be able to go to more in the future. She is in very good condition and has a very well maintained twin axle trailer built especially for her. We are asking £20,000 for her. She has 2 front seats and a rear bench seat new in 2015. She has been used at 7 events between 2015 and 2018 then stored indoors since then. Further details and photos available if needed.
Edit.... I forget to say the reference to 2015 is that was when she was last overhauled by Henwood and Dean of Hambledon who most of you will know of. She was stripped down, repainted, revarnished and had new upholstery. So is future proofed for a while! Also the mechanical side of things has been looked after by a Mercury Specialist who now has his own business here in Cornwall, Black Dog Marine. Rob worked on Special Engines at Barrus for 15 years before moving down west. So the boat has always had the best available when it came to being looked after. Kgarla
