Orkney Dory 14’ power boat, 30hp 2-stroke Tohatsu, galvanised road trailer.

Description

Orkney Dory 14’ (4 metre) with 30hp 2-stroke long-shaft Tohatsu outboard motor and excellent bunked road trailer. The Orkney Dory is a very stable boat, many having been used for safety roles. They can carry up 6 people. This one dates from 1994.

The boat is afloat, working, and has had lots of work done over the winter. There are still a few things which I was going to complete at the end of the season, but nothing to prevent the new owner having fun.

The interior is very tidy in the original gel coat. It has two bench seats (removable cushions & backrest) and further seating in the bow over the storage locker, stainless grab grails, steering console with stainless wheel and Tohatsu engine remotes providing key start, warm-up, forward-neutral-reverse with a safety lanyard.

The hull is cathedral pattern with a step to assist planing, and is also in original gel coat but is faded and needs refinishing. There’s a tough rubber rubbing strake around the boat. Open the throttle and the boat will plane at 19-20 knots almost instantly and top-out at around 24 knots.

The motor is a 2006 Tohatsu M30A4 30hp long-shaft 2-stroke with electric start and remotes to the centre console. In the last 12 months it has has a new impeller, spark plugs, genuine Tohatsu ignition coil & leads and a carburettor service kit fitted. The motor uses pre-mixed 50:1 and I always use E5 petrol. Owners manual and service manual in digital format supplied.

The boat has an excellent inventory:

- Two varnished Lahna paddles & rowlocks.
- LED navigation light on the bow (connected) & stern light (to be connected)
- New Seaflow bilge pump with integral float connected to automatic/off/manual switch.
- New 40AH battery (2025) with 3-year guarantee.
- New battery box.
- 10 watt solar panel for trickle charging the battery.
- Fuel line plus two 25 litre genuine Tohatsu remote fuel tanks give excellent range.
- New 2 kg Bruce anchor with chain & warp, stored in the forward locker, ready for use.
- Six fenders, 3 each side, which just flip inboard when not required.
- New telescopic boathook clipped ready to use.
- Centre console has GPS speedometer 0 - 30 knots with nautical miles odometer, switches for navigation lights and speedometer plus USB outlet & digital voltmeter. Input socket for solar panel.
- Stainless steel auxiliary outboard bracket (outboard not included).
- A good assortment of mooring lines.
- Winter all-over cover & supports to prevent puddling.
- Summer cover for use on a mooring. This keeps the sun & seagulls off. Rain runs off to the back of the boat and is pumped overboard.
- Antifouled.

The unbraked, galvanised Snipe trailer is sized to take the boat. It has a jockey wheel, a winch for launching & retrieving, and bunks for support. Arms at the rear extend to take a lighting board and retract for launching. The wheels & tyres are new, plus a serviceable spare. New tow-ball lock included. With care and wellies, you can leave the car attached and retrieve the boat without getting wet feet…

Afloat on a pontoon mooring, so easy to access/inspect/demonstrate. Why am I selling? I've managed just 30 nautical miles this year - I just don't have the time.
