For sale is my Olympic 500CC, centre console boat with Suzuki DF90 outboard and Extreme road trailer.
The boat and engine are 2006, the trailer is 2016.
I bought 'Sunfish' in September 2016 as a project and have done huge amounts of work to her.
She was relaunched in September 2018, and has been used for a few weeks a year ever since.
Sunfish has been completely reliable in her time with me, and is pleasantly economic to run.
I use her on Milford Haven, and usually have about 5 litres of fuel left in a 30 litre tank at the end of a full day.
Sunfish is set up primarily for fishing and exploring. She has 2 comfortable seats at the helm which the backrests swap over for when you want to face aft. I do have most of the original cushions if you wanted to get those recovered and make her more comfortable for relaxing in the sun.
Being from 2006, Olympic calls her the 500cc, the boat is actually closer to 5.5M long, and I think they later renamed this hull to the 520CC in later years but happy to be corrected on this...
When I bought Sunfish, she had clearly suffered some mishap in the past and had hull and engine damage.
The hull had been hastily and badly repaired and the engine was a non runner.
Thankfully the engine had been mechanically serviced, but the electronics and wiring were beyond salvage.
I have a huge photo library of the work I carried out over those 2 years if you're interested.
As stated the work was all done 6 to 8 years ago now, and there have been no problems since.
I'll try and list what I can remember replacing below...but I'm sure i will forget some of it!
New engine ECU
New trim and tilt relays
New trim and tilt switch on engine
New engine wiring loom
New starter motor
New engine idle air control valve
New battery cables
New engine harness to console
New instruments and gauges
New engine control lever
New wiring external to harness (for bilge pump and nav lights etc)
New bilge pump
New isolator switch
Lofrans electric capstan and relay control box
Included in the asking price is a fitted Garmin Echomap 9sv and transom mounted transducer.
If you don't want the Garmin I can reduce the price of the boat and keep it.
Likewise included in the asking price is the 2016 (bought new by me) Extreme roller braked trailer.
If you don't want the trailer I can reduce the price of the boat and keep it.
Also included are a spare propeller, fenders and a few ropes etc.
She is a well thought out boat with plenty of storage under the seats, in the console and under a hatch reaching low down in the hull.
Flat out I've seen over 30kts on the GPS at around 5200rpm, but generally i run her at just under 4000rpm which is about 20kts.
Sunfish is in Pembrokeshire on her trailer under a tarp for the winter, please contact me for further details and how to arrange a viewing.
