Hudson boat reduced

[MrsM]

Just spotted this on Aquavista. Guess it must have had some major issues at survey. For those that don't FB it's a 62' 2001 Hudson called Oxo, with a Gardner 3LW. Reduced from £50k to £25k.

Its a shame they didn't publish the known defects.

 

 

One could then make an offer based on the unknown defects🤣

Id guess it will be pricing to sell, else they would fix it and have a new survey. Will suit  someone

A$♧$ did this with a Hudson a few years ago survey showed massive pitting problems....but put it back on the market and pretended the survey didnt exist.

That's a strange one!  There must be something else seriously wrong with it.  (The other thing wrong with it, to my mind, being that it is a Hudson! 😄 )

A Hudsin shell maybe but no way a Hudson fit out, looks like a home jobby and painted London white 😱

If you are interested I can ask.. was about 100 yards from it earlier and it looks OK from that distance anyhow  😀

Thanks but we only have eyes for another (sunk) boat. We weren't planning on getting our next boat for a couple of years, but will bring our plans forward if we can sort ownership of Tenacious.

No stricture if the engine room or the Gardner, is that the project?

All a bit puzzling. I thought it seemed a bit cheap when it was £50k. 
 

but then I suppose it IS a Hudson…. so like me, everyone else didn’t buy it either !

It was also a slightly weird layout, iirc, with what looked like a fairly unskilled DIY fitout.

I was going to buy a hull from him but it didn't work out. the discussion went " I would like" and his reply "We do it this way" so I didn't go ahead with it

He did vety few and usualy to people who were skilled. The fit out on this one is appaling. The Gardner would make a good mud weight though and plenty of room to fit a Beta.

Oi! Nothing wrong with that Gardner that a Kelvin K2 wouldn't fix.

I only said Beta cos its more of a bus engine, which is what a Gardner is. Now a proper boat engine like a Kelvin 👍

Thought maybe an unsunk one with 3 times the amount of cylinders might appeal.😀

Indeed! Just strange how some boats get under your skin though, even when your logical head wouldn't consider them.

He was a dab hand with a paint brush, he dabbed it here, he dabbed it there, he dabbed it everywhere, speed wheel, gear, anything that got in the way

A boat for sale came through lower heyford when we had that caff there. We were looking at the time again and it appealed as it had a Kelvin, a PROPER boat engine. The bloke was an engine nut and basically he had a boat built simply to house his HUGE engine, twer about six feet long, twer awesome. What put me off was living bit was so small you had to sleep under the tug deck 😱

That should have been a piece of cake for an ex Seaman 😁 or would you want to put the hammock up in the engine room 😊
