Shetland 498

Shetland 498 – 40HP Yamaha – Ready to Go Well-maintained Shetland 498 for sale, currently moored in Littlehampton. This is a great all-round boat, ideal for fishing, day trips, or coastal cruising. The boat has had significant time and money invested to get it to its current condition, and it shows. The 40HP Yamaha 4-stroke (2000) engine was recently fitted and runs perfectly—reliable, smooth, and ready for use. Key Features & Upgrades: 40HP Yamaha 4-stroke engine (recently installed, runs like a dream) Fish finder included Brand new fuel tank New steering cables and throttle cables New impeller fitted Spacious cabin with detachable sunroof Removable seating (rare on these models – allows for more open deck space) Boat cover included Bimini (worth approx. £400, not yet fitted) The boat offers a really practical layout with plenty of usable space, whether you're fishing or relaxing on the water. I originally purchased the hull and engine separately and have invested both time and money bringing everything together to a solid standard. The only reason for sale is that I’m already looking to upgrade to a larger boat. Optional Extra: 3.5HP Tohatsu auxiliary engine available at additional cost A very capable and enjoyable boat—ready for the season. Feel free to message with any questions or to arrange a viewing.
