Broker's Comments

Here we have listed as a "Light Project" a 1995 Bruce Roberts 32 steel river cruiser that has been used as a liveaboard for 7 years and is in need of a really good internal clean up and light cosmetic renovation to my eye.

The main vessel appears to be in good order but she has been let go in the cosmetic and cleanliness department internally.

This is a nice boat that just needs a very good clean and light cosmetic work to bring her back to her former capable glory.

I was not able to test systems as the batteries are flat so these should be evaluated however, I cant seen any obvious problems as the boat was in use until recently.

She would make a great liveaboard vessel.

Externally she is very tidy and has a very good looking engine and she was running fine and made her own way to the marina. I cannot verify the actual HPP of the engine as the vendor has not declared it but these Sabres start at 275hp according to the manual. The engine looks very tidy and clean.

The boat has a dedicated aft cabin and a forward vee berth and saloon with galley to starboard as is the heads. This all needs a very good clean but otherwise looks serviceable.

Some of the interior woodwork would do well with a light rub down and oiling but other than that she is a nice tidy little boat with a large aft raised flybridge.

She is fitted with a bow thruster, windlass, heating, shore power, holding tanks and also joystick steering so she is well equipped but just in need of cleaning through and checking her systems. This could well be a very easy simple light project and a real steal of a boat.

The vendor has not supplied Boat Safety Certificate details so you should assume that a BSC may need to be placed on her at a cost of about £200. If we can confirm a BSC is in place I will confirm this.

She is offered at a very realistic bargain price for a vessel of this type, for a quick sale with all the above in mind. This remains a lot of boat for the money!

These boat details are subject to contract.
