DESCRIPTION

The Spearfish is the most sought-after boat produced by Fairey Marine.

All Fairey Marine Spearfishes were built with a GRP hull in the early days of this new material so are very strong  as the GRP is almost as thick as the earlier wooden hulled Fairey Marine boats. 

Fairey Marine Spearfishes benefit from having a soft ride due to an almost identical hull shape as the race-proved Fairey Marine Huntsman 31.

This Fairey Marine Spearfish benefits from having two very desirable Cummins 6BTA turbo-charged engines fitted and has a very smart interior after many improvements by a knowledgeable and fastidious owner. 

The owner is selling because he has now purchased a larger boat for more extensive cruising.
Part 1 British Registry for secure change of title.
