Kirie 23 with a 27hp Solé Diesel MINI-29 engine for just 5000 euro!

Friends, today we have a Kirie 23 with a 27hp Solé Diesel MINI-29 engine for just 5000 euro!

Location: France

Length: 7.0 meters
Width: 2.5 meters
Draft: 1.05 meters
Beds: 5
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available (bio)

This boat is a motorsailer, that is, a motor vessel on which a mast and sails are installed. A quite powerful 27hp diesel engine is installed. For convenience, there is a stationary hard spray hood (possibly complete with a closed aft tent), where you will feel more comfortable in bad weather.

Engine: spanish Solé Diesel MINI-29 27hp has an operating time of only 10 hours. This is a new diesel that you can rely on and with which you will not have any problems in the foreseeable future, you only need to carry out service once a season.

The set of sails is small: a mainsail and a genoa on a furler, but they says nothing about its condition.

Equipment: compass, VHF radio, shore power, navigation lights, start and service batteries, battery charger. Control of the yacht by means of the helm.

The mooring equipment includes an anchor, a manual anchor winch, fenders, mooring lines and a mooring hook.

Fuel and water tanks, septic tank, bilge pump and a small swim platform.
The kitchen has a gas stove and sink with a tap.

Despite the fact that the boat has a brand new engine, and the interior looks neat in the photo, the description says that the boat needs repair. I would contact the owner and specify which units require repair, as well as detailed photos of problem areas. Then, when buying, it will be possible to bargain in detail!

Compis 28 with a Farymann A40 engine (overhauled in 2012) for only 3800 euro!

Friends! Today we have an interesting Compis 28 with a Farymann A40 engine (overhauled in 2012) for only 3800 euro!

Location: Sweden

Length: 8.56 meters
Width: 2.84 meters
Draft 1.51 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

The boat is in very good condition. It was well watched, but trouble happened and the valve burned out in the engine. There’s no compression and now the boat is sold for half of its price.

If you are good with engines or have a friend who can help, then this can be a very good option.

The plastic and wood look great on this boat, lots of sails, equipment and upgrades.

Another drawback in my opinion is the classic staysail setting. It’s more convenient with a furler.

The boat is quite large and wide, and it feels like closer to 30 feet. This is a good opportunity if you can deal with the engine as the price is now only 3800 euro!
