Fibreglass Runabout with Motor and Trailer - Project Vessel

This 5.8-metre fibreglass runabout presents as a solid foundation for restoration or continued recreational use. The white hull exhibits the patina of age-appropriate wear, with minor gelcoat crazing consistent with UV exposure and outdoor storage. The V-hull design provides good sea-keeping characteristics for bay and coastal fishing applications.

Hull and Construction
Fibreglass construction, 5.8m LOA x 2.2m beam. Hull condition shows surface crazing and minor oxidation staining along the waterline. Antifoul coverage is degraded and would benefit from renewal. No major structural damage visible, though full inspection recommended to assess any osmosis blistering below the waterline. Canvas canopy frame present but fabric shows wear and fading consistent with age.

Motor and Drive
Single outboard motor installation. Engine hours not visible on meter in photographs. Motor brand and model require closer inspection. Stern drive configuration. Fuel type: petrol. Motor condition cannot be fully assessed from exterior photographs;

Helm and Instrumentation
Steering wheel shows significant oxidation and corrosion. Instrument panel exhibits rust and discolouration. Gauges present but condition and functionality require verification. No modern electronics visible (chartplotter, sounder, VHF). Bilge area accessible, showing water staining and age-related wear.

Deck and Seating
Seating arrangement visible but upholstery condition not clearly photographed. Deck non-slip surface shows weathering. Basic layout suitable for day fishing or recreational cruising. Rod holders and anchor system present but condition requires inspection.

Trailer
Trailer included. Trailer condition is a significant concern: wheel rims show extensive corrosion and rust, wheel hubs heavily oxidised, tyre sidewalls degraded with visible cracking. Spare wheel presence not confirmed. Brake type and winch type not clearly visible. Galvanised or painted frame finish obscured by corrosion.

Safety Equipment
Life jackets, flares, and fire extinguisher presence not confirmed in photographs. EPIRB status unknown. Safety equipment is sold as-is; buyers must verify compliance for intended operating area and state regulations.
