It's a Nalder and biddle built in nz some time around 1979-80s it was advertised as 79 but it could possibly be newer. Thick as solid grp hull built strong. Engines I think 1986 model 200hp aqad41 straight 6 Volvo turbo deisel with dp290 duo-prop Penta leg. Bought it will the leg as an unknown can't select gears it's locked up from sitting for at least 2 years and was so covered in mussels and other sea creatures you couldn't tell if it still even had a leg lol it also won't stear left of right but luckily it was in the straight ahead position .were told engine was run the week before we looked at it but never heard it go.for the price we took the risk after pricing up a replacement leg as worst case scenario.got towed home at 6 knots took about an hour to get to our Marina berth by the time we got thete we could see it had a leg and propellers still under there it's a good sign lol.plugged in the charger for a couple of hours while checking it over and cleaning it out then hit the key vroom fired straight up on all 6 no smoke no noises gave it a little rev to get the alternator charging and low and behold it lurched forward both props spinning and it's jammed in foward gear guess it's gonna be an easy quick fix .just waiting for it to get lifted out on Thursday waterblast the hull 're antifoul remove the leg free up the gear lever and cable and stearing fork fit two new bellows two pin bushes oil change and refit

Link looks broken mate
Thought this was a delcowizzid ride should be pushing 40psi and 7000rpm on a delco by now haha
Sounds like it should be a pretty good score if all it needs is a bit of unsiezing with added bonus of a free feed of muscles

Engine is like New had $38000 spent on rebuilding it 500 hours ago lol. It's out now just finished waterblasting it. The leg is pretty bad the shaft the props are on is missing the threaded end the the big nut goes on to hold the props on the anodes are nearly totally gone and the legs started to get eaten in places. If the shaft wasn't borked it would all be reusable. Just had a shower was covered in sealife and soaked through time to go pull the leg off so I can bring it home for teardown

video doesn't play. All other youtube videos do, just not that one.
