HIRE BOAT No4 – AQUA LEVEN

Feb 4, 2010 // by admin // BLOG // No Comments

A belated Happy New Year!

Well, 2010 is set to be another busy year for us, work has already commenced on our 4th hire boat, Aqua Leven, which we took delivery of just before Christmas. As well as this boat we’ll also be fitting a beautiful Graham Edgson (Norton Canes) shell with traditional Boatmans cabin and a 60ft Colecraft, with a more modern reverse layout. We’ve also got another interesting project that we’re currently investigating but we’ll let you know further details if and when the idea is a viable one!

So to hire boat number 4 named Aqua Leven (following on with our Water Life theme – Leven meaning ‘life’ in Dutch – although apparently Leven is also a seaside town near Fife!). The boat will be our first boat to be offered as a new Sponsorship boat, meaning that it will be owned privately but run in our hire fleet providing the owner with a return on it’s rental. The owner also gets to enjoy time on board too – ideal if someone wants to own a boat but can’t justify the expense for a few weeks on board each year.

The fitout on Aqua Leven is already well underway, the boat has had the windows,ballast, flooring, battens, sprayfoam, wiring tails and lining installed. Bulkheads are currently being cut and fitted. The boat will be our first reverse layout in the fleet, this layout was chosen after numerous requests for our hirers. I think it will prove popular choice, we’ve already had 6 weeks booked and it’s only been on the main website for a week. I’ll try my best to keep the blog updated with the fitout. Here’s some photos of progress to date;
