| Description | Premier Houseboats are pleased to present this jet drive ex-royal engineers open workboat, believed to be prototype mk1 combat support boat manufactured byTyler boats of Kent ( circa 1980ish ) and stored since built. Engines, jet drives, gearboxes etc are all in as new mechanical condition with very little use. This is an engineering project as when the boat was tested unfortunately the engines are not compatible with the jet drives, so there will need to be changes in order for this unique boat to reach its full potential. Lots of new parts including batteries, nav lights, wiring, bilge pumps, strainers, drive shafts, etc. heavy build GRP hull, twin bowman ford 6 cylinder turbo diesel engines, twin dowty mk1 500 jet drives, twin borgwarner gearboxes. The boat has been repainted.The boat could be used for fishing, recreational or work once the engineering changes have been made. There is an opportunity to buy the mechanical parts of the boat ie engines, gearbox, jet drives etc seperately.
