Poncelet NOW SOLD

Post by kgarla »

NOW SOLD August 2022
Happy New Year All, Hope this is the real start of recovery for us all.

Revamped advert for our Poncelet 5 metre 1970 with 1979 Mercury Straight 6-cylinder 90hp ‘Tower of Power’.
Belgian Classic Wooden speed boat. Cold moulded construction, under floor stainless steel fuel tank. 2 front seats, rear bech seat, entry step,lights, horn , bilge pump. Lovely condition. Owned since 2006, family circumstances force sale.
We are having to re advertise the boat as she must go, preferably to a new home with a CMBA member. She has been prepared for this season, engine run. Trailer had a once over and new Alko hitch damper fitted as a result.
She ran at Cardiff last year after 3 years of not being used. She belongs on the water!

Spring Sale price reduced to £16,000.

This includes freeboard fenders, lines, tonneau cover, full cover, engine cover, spare emergency fuel tank. We even have 2 unopened 4 litre Mercury 2 stroke oil cans, one other part used can of 2 stroke oil and about 15 litres of treated and stabilised fuel. 2 cans of Fogging Oil. This really is ready for the water. Trailer lighting bar included.
We know Cornwall is a long way away but for a sale we can always travel closer.
