Owners are unsure re engine year as this was already fitted when the current owners bought the boat. I personally suspect it is a fairly recent replacement engine as the dash panel is labelled as "Thorneycroft" which suggests she may originally have had a BMC engine.

Broker's Comments

Alpha 42 Lowliner built in 1990 which has been tastefully converted to suit 2 people with longer stays or liveaboard in mind.
She benefits from having diesel fired warm air heating along with a reflex stove (drip fed by diesel and a separate tank which can be pumped into from the main fuel tank) which provides heating to the main saloon and radiators in the heads and main cabin.
She also has 2 good sized solar panels mounted to her coach roof, 5 batteries (4 of which are fairly new), 240 volt shore power and a battery management system.
A large calorifier takes care of the hot water requirements located in the engine room.
The aft cabin is home to a double berth island bed and the fore cabin is home to the very generous saloon, complete with dining table and 4 chairs.
There is a fridge/freezer, new gas hob, double oven and a washing machine located in the heads which is home to a new and modern composting toilet.
She offers ample storage throughout the boat particularly in the aft cabin.
This boat is ideal for all-year cruising or liveaboard.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
