For sale on Ebay

Post by CALDI4 »

Very interesting maintenance frame that bolts to trailer to allow access to bottom ?? Makes swing keel maintenance easy :)

Wow , what a great idea for the trailer, seems to be able to jack the boat off it's trailer bunks and then uses the power winch (relocated) to tip the whole thing over. Would make anti fouling even easier. Guy must own his own fabricating business. I think that apparatus would be beyond my supercheap pipe bender and my 45 year old stick welder :shock:

If I were younger I would buy it and swap trailers , do it up and sell it.. Not a bad 563 SS centre board, tohatsu. Hmmm I wonder would the wife notice another boat in the driveway ;)

Wow, that is a fantastic bargain. If I wasn't so busy at the moment I would grab it.

But despite the access - the bottom looks like s**t!

I'm disappointed.

I chatted to the vendor. He has had the boat on a mooring for something like 30 years. He did say that the bottom was ready for application of anti-fouling at the moment. For that price you can't expect him to do it, plus after you apply anti-foul you need to put it back in the water fairly promptly.

BUMP.

I was describing the rotisserie 563 under thread to a mate and got to wondering again if any lurkers on this site bought it. If so don't be shy join the fun. I would love to see some details of the tilt mechanism and a video of the thing on utube. Yeah , yeah im p*ssed with myself for not buying it, but cant buy everything that takes your fancy otherwise the world becomes one big Aldi :mrgreen:
