This is a particularly good example of the ever popular 285 Ambassador. Well appointed vessel with a generous beam provides spacious and comfortable living spaces in the cockpit and below decks.
Mechanically she is good to go with recently overhauled and refurbished outdrives including bellows, intake hoses, seals and paint. Her hull has been antifouled and topsides polished ready for the season. Engines are fully serviced. She has undergone many upgrades over the years whilst maintaining her Sealine DNA. Upgrades include fully re-upholstered cockpit seating, new laminate flooring in the cockpit with a new table full LED light package throughout and Lowrance Hook9 colour chartplotter.
Vessel is powered by twin, Volvo Penta AQ211 petrol engines. These 150hp units have been well maintained and are situated beneath the cockpit sole. This allows all round access for servicing and daily checks. Propulsion is Volvo DP290 outdrive legs. These are in tip-top condition and have been recently overhauled by a Volvo Sterndrive Specialist in September 2022. This included new gearboxes, H-frames, pressure tests, seals, anodes, and painting. (Please see pics). Other work included new bellows, intake hoses and gear linkage cables.
Stainless steel duo props have been overhauled, cleaned and provided with new nose cones, locking nuts and spacers. She is ready to go.
