Large fuel tank behind engine (diesel) Large water tank (as a solo boater takes about 6 weeks to run out)LAYOUT- Larger cruiser stern back deck, fits table and chair for summer breakfasts. Down the steps and the bathroom (shower and cassette) is immediately on your left. The kitchen (sink, 4 hobs, oven and Morso boiler( is on your right. Through a bead curtain into the living area, there is a woodburning stove on the right and a sofa on the left, then a table and chest of drawers. Finally a double bed across the front of the boat. Door at the front open out into small front space I use for tools etc. THE PROS- Great hull condition and survey.Good engine condition and recent check up from trusty mechanic. Lovely layout for one person to live on. Unique little boat with lots of little quirks.
THE CONS
Needs some touch ups before next winter, all things that can be done over the summer. The shower needs re-tiling.One piece of wood around the sink is rotten, needs replacing. Some windows need resealing. These are all things I would do if I was keeping the boat…Nothing urgent, ready to move on to and live on and then tackle the jobs before next winter!
Available to sell now, move on date could be mid April.
Thanks,
