Young Rocket 780 on dual axle trailer in LOTA, Queensland for sale

Young Rocket 780 on galvanised dual axle trailer.
The Jim Young designed Rocket 780 is one of the boats that started the sports boat craze. Although the design is more than 20 years old, it is still fast. The Young 780 is a beamy planning hull with plumb bow and lift keel and rudder with a cabin that provides 4 berths.
Built by AGS Yachts on the Gold Coast in 1990, the boat is built using the WEST system with a cedar core.

Without a doubt, the boat has seen better days but it is still fast, a delight to sail, well equipped for racing and a cheap entry into sports boat racing. It has been tuned by its original owner with changes to the mast step and rudder. The boat could do with a repaint inside and out and offers the opportunity for further modification such as the inclusion of an asymmetrical spinnaker.
The interior is stripped out for racing but some Rocket 780s boats have been fitted out with galleys and head.
The trailer is in very good condition and bought in 2008 shortly before finding a crew and time became difficult.
Trailer and boat are registered until 15th March
