ORKNEY LONGLINER 16

#1 Post by GERARDPPM »

Can some one please help, i am going to view this boat (pics removed) and i have been comparing it with other longliner 16's i have viewed on the internet, to me there are slight differences on the inside of the boat (seating, tanks etc), is this boat a real 100% orkney longliner 16, i dont have a trained eye to no if it is or not?

It is supposed to be a 2003 orkney longliner, there is no sticker on the sides of the boat to say it is longliner 16.

In order to be 100% sure if it is a genuine Orkney you should ask to see the Orkney Registration card which will have been given to the first owner when the boat was bought new.This is normally kept in the boat owners manual.On this card there is a serial number which should match the serial number which is stamped into the boats transom. The boat and documentation should come together as a package no matter how many owners its had over the years providing it has been looked after. If the registration card is no longer available you can look for the serial number on the transom and contact Orkney and ask them to verify if it is an original.
