AUTOMARINE SALVAGE why are the engines black?? Mr Franklin says in his video ? well all mercruiser engines are Phantom Black and in this sunseeker they are Motori engines vw 5 cylinder 150 hp turbo units on bravo drives and parts are not that hard to get ? and as for old GRP become brittle ? we cut up many boats for all marinas and find older boats very well built with no evidence of the grp being brittle in fact quite the opposite they are laid up heavier than new boats and on a last note on another boatbreaker video he talks about balsa is no longer used as core material it is Lagoon Cats use it above and below the rubbing strake and in the hull we at Automarine Salvage try to save boats from our disc cutters and move them on to a new loving home bit like a dog rescue pound but some times we have to put them to sleep humanly of course Automarine Salvage littlehampton
You hit the nail on the head
Its a heavy old boat that would need minimum of 20k to bring it up to date
Scrap it
I have the same, still runing very good. Made some modification on it and it is on sale if anyone wants to buy it.
Any follow up at all? Did it get sold or scrapped?
It’s a boat worth saving!!!
Depending on what’s wrong with the engines, maybe???
Very interested in the boat. Can she be for sale Steve? Sorry don’t have your number
Not cool. Not cool. Are you insane ? Its as cool as Mustard !
What have you been smoking?

vw 5 cylinder 150 hp turbo units on bravo drives and parts are not that hard to get ? and as for old GRP become brittle ? we cut up many boats for all marinas and find older boats very well built with no evidence of the grp being brittle in fact quite the opposite they are laid up heavier than new boats and on a last note on another boatbreaker video he talks about balsa is no longer used as core material
it is Lagoon Cats use it above and below the rubbing strake and in the hull we at Automarine Salvage try to save boats from our
