tlantic Challenger II for sale.

With a repair/servicing cost of around £1.5m+ I doubt it will ever be seaworthy again.

What a crying shame.

Re: tlantic Challenger II for sale.

I am at a loss T.pin what am I missing it says its now sea worthy after a refitting in 2013.

"Although built in 1984, this boat was completely renovated and refitted in 2013 and now runs like new. "

It looks a grand boat, but I ain't got any loose change to buy it at the moment..

Re: tlantic Challenger II for sale.

I may be mistaken but I was under the impression it wasn't seaworthy anymore...I'll have to dig deeper.

Edit: The guy that owned it(A Brit living in Spain)spent 1000 man hours restoring it and spent £500k.

I doubt that is enough to make it seaworthy after being left, untouched, for 25 years.

A 78' motor boat would cost about £75k per annum on maintenance alone....then there's fuel..twin 2000hp diesels I reckon about £1200+ per hour at WOT(wide open throttle)...a bargain

I wouldn't buy it on principle - Branson is a remoaner

Point taken Judd I shall dismiss it as a personal Christmas present to myself.
Must admit I lost a lot of respect for him when he went on one about Brexit and a few more for that matter.

I was thinking about parking it on my front but alas the wife is now talking about a second car so we will have no space..

To run that you'd need the top drawer Seastart membership, that's for sure.

Will they deliver it, or is it buyer collects?

Re: tlantic Challenger II for sale.

I suspect buyer collects......I can recommend a specialist transport company based in Portsmouth if you're interested

You could keep it in St Katherine's
