Bought this boat from guy in swellendam - any idea
- Thread starter Raven9
- Start date
Stormcraft I do not think is a company that is in existance anymore.
The Hull type is very similar to earlier version of modern Panga/ Banana boats, that are very popular in Africa/Far east for General Utility work.- see attached
How is the motors? those 55hp Yammies are indestructable.
If you need to overhaul them it may cost R5-7k eack but then good to go for the next 20 years.
If you consider the boat a bit of a project it can be converted to a good little light tackle Center Console
What did you pay for the boat?

Thanks BFC - bought everything for R10k.
The Yamaha's runs fine although the one's gearbox was seized, busy replacing bearings and seals.
Trailer also not licensed, so either buy another second hand one that is licensed and rebuild or get trailer company to rebuild and register.
Revamp project is going to be mainly cosmetic and interior -
Hull seems fine, can't see any rot anywhere - foam was done 2 years ago.
Was thinking about doing new deck, but looks like too big of a project so just sand, patch and then maybe gel/flow coat.
Got to get it up and running in next 3 months to take to Langebaan
