Tern was refurbished in 2024 with many improvements. She is fitted with a Yamaha 9.9hp outboard, but has a 15hp carburetor, giving 6-8 knots which is idea for inland waters. The engine was serviced in 2024 & will be serviced again prior to any sale. In the last two years the boat has had little use and only in fresh water. She comes with a NASA depth log, Garmin chart plotter, Midland VHF, Nav lights, anchor, electric bilge pumps, horn, external gas bottle stowage and auxiliary outboard bracket.
Fitted are a new Canvasman canopy (2023), poly hemp fender rope, deep cycle battery, teak grab rails (2024), ropes, upholstery, extra stowage compartments, cabin entry hatch, wiring, seats and many other things (all 2024).
Included in the sale is a Roller coaster 5 trailer on a single axle with a new lockable Knott hitch, a spare wheel and lighting board. Trailer was serviced in 2020.
Over the last year, the navy hull colour has dulled a bit so could ideally do with a polish.
More photos are available on request.
Tern is currently out of the water on her trailer and covered with tarpaulins. She has been winterised so many internal fitting are stowed at home.
