shetland 500

Post by daddy »

looking at one at the minute, think she is 1970 (mid 70's) with a 60hp mercury brown band on it. immaculate upholstery, solid boat. with marine radio, echo sounder, and drinks cabinet. also has nice wooden benches out the back.

i have no idea what price it is worth. there is not much info on the web about these boats. so i thought this would be the place to ask.

how much would this boat be worth? i have not began negotiating yet.

many thanks in advance.

thanks for the reply.

it is a brown band, so i think its 1983/4. yes, it works fine.

Wow! A drinks cabinet... Now that's given an idea to convert my F4 into a miniature gin palace ;-)

dont have any pics. the boat has been covered since it was last cleaned. could prob do with a 'once over' to get rid of moss etc. but the hull and whole body is in perfect nik.

anyone any idea on a rough price? guesstimate?
