Wilson Flyer 17 REF#341670
2025-03-31 15:46:02| Boatshed.com Recent Boats
Register with Boatshed to see 106 extra photos of this Wilson Flyer 17 .The Wilson Flyer is a cathedral hull dory, and is probably just about the most stable fishing platform out there. So stable, that you can walk around on the spacious deck, and the boat hardly moves at all. In quite rough seas, there should be little lateral roll. Another benefit of this hull design is the fantastic performance to horsepower ratio. The Flyers plane at just over 10 knots, loaded with passengers and gear. For this reason the 60hp Four Stroke engine is a good match giving plenty of performance. For a small fishing boat that offers loads of deck space, stability and safety, the Wilson Flyer is hard to beat. A desirable package, keenly priced. These boat details are subject to contract. Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.This Wilson Flyer 17 has been personally photographed and viewed by Mark Grainge of Boatshed Eastbourne.
