Broker's Comments


This boat is at the end of project stage which just needs a little finishing to make a comfortable retreat.

Big enough to live in but manageable enough for family weekends, she is the perfect size for someone looking for a budget priced boat.

The boat feels warm and welcoming inside and although you could just bring a bag and move in, the open plan fitout gives plenty of scope for some internal changes to suit a new owner.

Currently moored in a marina just north of Hemel Hempstead, the mooring could be transferable by agreement with Marina Management.
