Owners comments

 

'Having two boats at nearly 75 years old is too much for me now and we have a busy campsite and I could do with the space.

 

The boat is a “head turner”  and has a quiet inboard 3 cylinder Vetus engine and leaves hardly any wash.

 

It is in pretty good condition, the bow and stern decks need a little TLC.'
