Broker's Comments

Really great motor cruiser so much room inside and out. Although 1997 boat she was actually launched 1998. This boat must have one of the largest aft berth i have seen in a boat this size. The cockpit space is just amazing with a cockpit tent giving you several variations of open/up and down. Loved the hydraulic switch for the engine bay hatch and the engines sound good - check out the video. Along with being a nice looking boat she is very well built and very capable on the water. 2 x 170hp engines proves pretty economical even on a trip across the channel (£200 the owner told me). The interior of this boat appears to be in really good condition upholstery, headlining, floors everything. only pint to note is she will benefit from a good polish on her exterior!
