I see the engines from the ST Zeta are for sale on the forum 'for sale' page. Anyone have any info about whats happening to the Zeta. E.G. why is she being broken up? |

Just my take on what I've heard/read but....
The owner, who is very ill has not had time to visit her at her moorings in southampton, she was put up for sale on ebay for £13k or so, during the listing the owner found she had sunk(via phone) but engines were removed when she sank, by the boatyard, the engines therefore are out of the boat and fully refurbed and ready to go, thus the engines can eaisly be sold separatley and "if it doesn't make what it owes the owner it will be broken" thus the engines are part of that, the figure I was told for it's owings is around £10k. Take from that what you will.
Is anyone interested in buying her, perhaps buying her without engines and she'd be a cheap project, S6M's are for sale for hundreds so a complete boat may be able to be had for less than £5,000 Edited by rozm2 |

How the hell does a 40ft seaplane tender end up owing a boat yard 10k.. I thought the current owner of the Zeta has only had her for a few years. That’s one expensive boat yard or there something else going on here. |

Sorry, must have not been very clear, "owing the owner" as in what it's cost plus any repairs etc he's had done to it, so he may have paid £8k and had 2k's worth of engine repairs, for instance. Are you interested? |

What a shame for the Owner, I can well understand his situation in having plan's for the boat that have suddenly gone all to hell because of unexpected illness it can catch anybody out at anytime, having a boat which is only attractive to a small section of potential boat owner's is like having a "special" car you never really get back monetary wise what you have spent on it, but we still do it to stamp our mark on it, in the end the price you get is usually age related whether it's a boat, car or motorbike and to most people it's just an old wooden boat now san's engines |

While the Zeta looked a lovely boat in good condition I believe I have reached the point where I can no longer be sanely interested in any other vessel. Best of luck to the owner and I hope she find caring hands to take her on. |
