Additional Information:

I'm reduced the price of my Alaska 500 to account for the soft floor.
She's a lovely boat that I bought during lockdown and tidied her up but due to a health issue was unable to use her.
Highlights are...
The engine has had a thorough service, with new Cam Belt, oil and fuel filters, new impeller, engine and gearbox oil.
New engine battery bought, so the boat now has a split charge system with a dedicated engine starter battery and a 115AH leisure battery for the other electrics.
The Tricolour, Side Nav and Anchor lights are new LED lights.
There are new VHF and GPS antenna's
A new stereo with Bluetooth
Good sized fuel tank with strap to hold it in place
There are loads of Railblaza starport mounts around the boat
Electric bilge pump with a manual backup pump
The trailer has new wheels and tyres and is on blocks to save the tyres. It also has a new safety chain and winch strap.
Comes with anchor, chain and rode, and uses an Alderney ring retrieval system.
Trailer is unbraked, and comes with a trailer board
Not so good points are...
The cover could do with some of the attachment points replacing
The floor is a little soft. This is a common problem with Alaska's and although not a structural part, it will need replacing in time.
The GPS software could do with updating.

DO NOT SEND MONEY TO SELLERS YOU CANNOT VERIFY AS GENUINE.

If possible, travel to view the boat or equipment yourself and only buy once you are happy with it.
