Delta V6 Blue Mist
Delta V6 Blue Mist
Due to the purchase of another boat and lack of storage, sadly my Delta V6 has to be sold. I thought I would post here before going down the usual routes of EBay etc. Blue Mist was built in 1981 (build number 381-337) she is totally original and has not been modified or altered in any way with the exception of two additional rear deck cleats. She comes with documented ownership from new, with coloured sales brochures showing Ray Wright driving this actual boat. Other sales related paperwork is included making a nice folder of related history. The boat is in the original blue and white gel coat complete with all original deck hardware and navigation lights. The cockpit has the factory fitted sports steering wheel, hand and foot throttles, Smith's chrome dials..fuel, oil pressure, water temp, amps, rev counter and speedo, grab handles, fire extinguisher, electric bilge pump, and an individually fused switch panel. Dark blue carpet is fitted throughout. The engine is a Ford Essex 3ltr V6 with custom Essex V6 alloy rockerbox covers, and polished stainless steel exhaust headers and exhaust pipes which produce a glorious sound! The engine is in tip top condition and starts on the button. Towards the end of last year all the hoses and clips were renewed, along with the Jabsco waterpump, core plugs, the exhaust rubbers, battery, starter motor, plugs, points and filters etc. The boats sits on her original trailer which has been completely refurbished.. new suspension and wheels, new tyres including the spare, new wheel bearings, mudguards and winch. Tonneau cover and brand new winter overall cover included. As far as I know, this boats has only ever been used in fresh water. It looks, runs and sounds superb, is fully serviced, fuelled and ready to go. Price £2795. If anybody fancies taking her to Cardiff and wants to make me an offer please phone or pm. Currently winterised and dry stored.

IMO there aren't many of this quality left.
Fasten bra straps and remove dentures...

Lovely boat this one, see picture.
Mercs are like women, no 2 are exactly alike. That's what testing is about. In general it is safer to test motors and props than women!
