Healey Boat for Sale - UK

[Frankenhealey]

I have nothing to do with this - just passing it on. Usual disclaimers. Yada yada yada

This Classic speedboat was the last model from Healey boats and said to be the best. It is the epitome of 60's styling and is one of very few left.

The original brochure states "The Sprite offers sports performance with jet like acceleration, high maximum speed with economy and stability in the sharpest turns. The Sprite is tops for skiing fun or sprinting across the water as a yachts "tender".

Constructed by Healey Marine Ltd in 1961

Good looking GRP hull recently re-sprayed in original colours.

50 hp Mercury outboard recently serviced and a new propeller fitted.

Good quality De Graaff galvanized trailer.


Length overall: 13' 6"
Beam: 6' 2"
Max engine recommended: 65hp

New Mercury gear / throttle control
New seat cushions

Located in Hertfordshire, England

Beautiful craftmanship on those boats.

So, what's pricing like on decent examples?

There was somebody giving one away (needed restoration) on another Forum last year. I guess it's the old story; how much you want it and how much he's willing to part with it.

I'll give him a call if you're interested!

Cheers,

Ian
