Levi Corsair 28

[D15CO D4VE]

Never heard of these boats but I know of one for sale I am wondering what it could be worth?

Very nice boat, chum of mine has one, I've no idea of value, a nice Spearfish is 50 odd, so I guess there about or more if its a newer/nicer one, I could see a very nice one being 80k, I'm not sure how many are built now, there's one on the Hamble called 'K' which I think must now be about 4 years old, I recall hearing it came in at about 300k, but thinking now that seems a lot.

Not sure there are many about.

Found this nice day out, though not sure if it's quite the same thing: www.triana-boats.com/id59.html

Triana and Corsair are both Sonny Levi Hulls, the chap that runs that website is a chum of mine, nice boats.

I don't suppose you would know what engines they came with? The one I'm looking at has twin Perkins 354 turbo diesels... Also are they grp or wooden in construction? The boat is a fair few years old and needs a bit of work... Cut I can't help but love the desig!

You are quite right, fantastic looking boat.

I am aware of there being a Corsair 28 built in wood on shafts, but I think most are likely to be GRP and running twin outdrives.

I have been running T6.354's for 10 years, great old lumps.

I think a wooden one will be Italian built and either cold moulded or double diag.

There's a nice Settimo Velo for sale on the IOW and its ready to go.

I knew I had come across a Corsair 28 on shafts, I corresponded with a chap last year in March that had one, an Ian W*****, I encouraged him to come to www.powerboatrally.com that I run but I didn't hear any more. My email record does not say if it wood or grp or indeed if its running Perkins.

I'm assuming shafts as I've never heard of T6.354's on legs.

Thanks for all the info all I keep finding is dead ends... I am meant to be going to see it this week so I will take a pic and post it. It indeed looks like its on legs I shall know more towards the end of the week.

Bit of an update... I have found out the boat is 1960's it is grp and also the 354 are on shafts. Planned to go see it on Friday so will take some pics and have more info

Hi, did you progress this any further? I have a Levi Corsair and it is very hard to find anyone else with one!

Certainyl not many about, I think there is 3 on the Hamble, apparently there was a brand new one at Southampton boat show last year, at about £300k!!

Nice boats.

The one I have is even rarer I think, it is a "fast fisher" rather than a sports boat.
