Avenger 16 Inboard
A very rare piece of boating history: an original Avenger 16 inboard.
Dark blue hull, white decks, cockpit cover.
Original Mercury gauges in the black casting, mechanical trim indicator.
Needs a Mercruiser Alpha 1 plus a 120HP inboard to be fitted, seen a few on Ebay recently around the £1500 mark.
Original chrome deck mounted nav light, original windscreen, steering, controls all there.
Upholstery is usable but needs a good clean, as does the carpet.
Hull is in really good condition, no apparent cracks, engine bay all good, grey painted.
Trailer looks poor but has a new Ifor Williams axle fitted, brakes need connecting, I towed it from Hertford to Poole with no issues.
I had planned to keep it forever but realistically I am never going to finish it ...
Would make a really classic-plastic sports boat and just a little bit different with a great pedigree.
£800 for a quick sale!

I had one of those with a straight six mercruiser in it, great little boat and really good in sloppy conditions. Good luck with the sale

Avenger 16
She's back on Ebay as we are having a big clear out.
I guess if one of you guys wanted her I would take £450 for a quick sale?
She has been sat under a tree so needs a bloody good wash off and the cover cleaning.
As I said before the trailer has had a new Ifor Williams Axle welded under, so she tows really well.
Simon.

Moved house now so moved it to my chum's farm.
Really needs to go if anyone is interested.
Make me a sensible offer.
Trailer axle has done less than 200 miles ...
