Langley Custom Classic

We use this boat at Mandurah; It's great for the getting around to the various attractions such as the ice cream shops, eateries, etc; and being shallow drafted enables access to a wide area of the inlet and estuary.

I believe it to be quite sound and it has been very reliable but there is always maintenance to be done.
Its time to pass it over to someone for someone who is 'handy'

In regard to its history. We're told that "Mayflower" was licensed fishing boat number 10 out of Fremantle. It was diesel and sail power (there is one photo of the original boat in the images) however with the restoration in 2017 the sails were not replaced. At that time the cost was $33,500 was and an uncosted 525 hours of labour.

The rebuild was after stripping all superstructure and then the deck and all deck beams. After attending to minor hull repairs - rebuilding everything with new deck beams, deck, and all above. The deck was finished with "Dynel" which is a thick coat of epoxy resin over fabric/gauze. An image showing the deck shows a blotchy appearance and that is because the primer between the paving paint topcoat did not properly adhere to the epoxy base. The spars masts and sails were not refitted at that time because of their height and the reduction of access (for Mandurah)
Timbers used were dry jarrah and red meranti timber, imported marine plywood; fixings were epoxy resin and/or stainless steel bolts and screws
Stainless steel fittings, new toilet, new safety gear, a 12" Raymarine Model "C" plotter, hydraulic steering, and security system as the vessel has own modem and cameras - sending images and alerts, solar panels, EPIRB, Life Jackets, toolbox and some tools.
Power is by a "Watermotor Sea-Panther" diesel motor that was marinized in London that was reinstalled after a rebuild. The motor was not in the boat at the time of purchase as we understood it had not been re-installed since being rebuilt after previous maintenance
The Canopy covers some glass windows and the front hopper window and totally encloses the cockpit. It has 5 panels that may be unzipped and rolled up or they may be removed.
The seating is by 2 X upholstered bench seats that have reversable backs along a full length table.
The boat is structurally very sound although some work is always required.
Mayflower would be ideal for a practical person who likes working with wood and generally pottering around and doing the necessary odd jobs.
