I'm also quite tempted by the Elysian 27. Will he won't he? Watch this space, as Fuzzyduck's new Fuzzyduck buying spree unfolds before your very eyes.

One of P&SB's (I'm not going to write "Peter & Sarah Blake" everytime) sisters is for sale:

Clicky

Go on! I dare you!

I might buy it. "The Rankin" is so much quicker to type.

My price range tops out at 15k

oh and i need a 3 foot draught max. otherwise I'd seriously consider it. Mind you we'd have to get the wife on yours so you and I could persuade her a lifeboat was the way to go.

I paid 8k for "Blakey" and this one's been for sale as long.

fuzzyduck · by **fuzzyduck** on Fri Jan 04, 2008 9:58 pm

And the draught?

The 27's are nice boats and you could pic one that needs a bit of work up for under 10 grand easily i would think.

I got one for under 10k that needed not much work at all.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Fuzzier duck (subject to survey)

Thats a nice looking boat Fuzzy, very clean. Where was the pic taken?

Is it an 813?

fuzzyduck · by **fuzzyduck** on Sat Jan 19, 2008 9:00 pm

It was taken at Sawley, and no, she's an Elysian (or Medeira) 27

and she's very very pretty, she just needs a few improvements for long distance cruising

Nice looking boat.

A bit frustrating for you not being able to get to Sawley, Fuzzy.
What powerplant has she got? Ford petrol or Perkins diseasel?

fuzzyduck · by **fuzzyduck** on Sun Jan 20, 2008 2:00 am

Perkins diesel

I've got to get her surveyed etc yet, but as you can see she looks fantastic, so should be a walk in the park

I had a perkins that clean once. It was still in the crate after a complete rebuild, though.

That one has 4441.5 hours on the hours meter, and runs pretty sweetly. there is absolutely no sign of oil in the bilges.

there is a bit of white smoke on starting, so I'll get a marine mechanic to have a shuftie as part of the survey. but she just jumped into life from cold.

my only slight concern is the charging meter was jumping about a bit from 0 - 40 Amps, so something might be a bit amiss there.

is that a 4107 engine?
