Hi all , as you may have read Emrys is sadly parting with his beloved 563 “Current Affair “. I was looking to buy the trailer and find a buyer for the boat but that’s turned out to be not so easy. I’ve taken a good look at the boat and it’s a good boat just needs a bit of TLC. Definitely just a cleaner upper and not a fixer upper. If you examine these links from the forum you can see the extensive and useful mods he has done over the years . His poptop extension with tent I think is the best 563 mod I’ve seen yet and truly changes the use of the boat. I should have done the same years ago , maybe next life.
The trailer is an excellent design and allows launch at shallow ramps. 8hp Yamaha OB. This type of OB selling for between $800 to $1000 these days, check gumtree. Windows are done and very good
I would not be put of by the swing cb needing repairs. Almost EVERY boat that has changed hands nowadays has needed the cb replaced.
These links relate to the mods Emrys has done

You can get in contact with him via the email in his profile. I won’t list it here to avoid spamming bots harvesting it so that limits it to members. Just join , it takes moments. As he’s including the outboard you can discuss price with him yourself. For any potential 563 buyers this boat is a must see.
