Novurania Equator

This boat was a super yacht tender for a European Yacht during the America's Cup in San Diego, original price on these around $70,000 new. It has inflatable sides, so very handy around Newport to ramp up just like a dingy but, WOW, how big is your dingy?? This one can take a large family comfortably being 20 feet in length. Powered by a 5.7 Ltr Chev V8 coupled with a Volvo Penta Stern Drive Duo prop.It has two fuel tanks and two batteries, i just replaced one so there are two fully charged on it as of yesterday.I bought this from a guy in Newport who had 2 of them, and still has a few Novurania Dinghy's and i paid $20 grand for it about 5 years ago.I had the engine, the stern drive serviced regularly by a very good newport boat mechanic up until two years ago, we replaced lots of stuff over the few years i had it, including the starter motor.Now, here is the bad news. We loved this boat and used it regularly (8 -12 times a year) up until 2 years ago. The last time we used it I left it in the water for 2 months and did not get the bottom cleaned, hence you will see that the hull is scarred as is the stern drive.I believe that a good run in the salt water will get most of it off, but at the moment it is what it is.Also, this boat HAS NOT BEEN RUN for 2 years. It has been in storage (outside) at Johnson Yacht Sales on PCH at Newport beach so it is dirty and has not been started.There is a 25 FT Pacific trailer included, i had the trailer serviced in Anaheim a few years ago and it has not driven anywhere since then, but it has been sitting for 2 years.I have not tried to clean it up, i just went down there on the weekend, took the cover off and photographed it exactly as it is.It has a 25 ft Pacific trailer included.The front cushions are fine, the back ones are going to need replacing. There is a an upper rubber section, above the inflatable tubes, below the fibreglass that has a yellowish tinge to it in parts, not sure if it can be cleaned, probably not.This boat most definitely needs some TLC , you can see some cracks in the fibreglass on the sides, and having sat for 2 years it is going to need a good mechanical overhaul and i am NOT that guy to do it.The cover is on the way out, it is hanging in there, but only just.I am going to sell it "as is" but I am happy to say that it does need to run, so we will have to discuss that side of it when we get down to it. if we cannot get it running, i will REFUND the purchase price, i have an excellent E bay reputation and i intend to keep it.As this is a large boat on a 25 ft trailer, we will NOT be talking about shipping ! PLEASE don't ask me to ship this.I have it listed on Craigs List also, so i reserve the right to cancel the auction for a good offer.Taxes are paid, it is insured and i think i will move it back to the Newport dunes next week so i can at least get into it with some soap and water and clean it up.
