Broker's Comments
This charming characterful Motor Launch has been in the same ownership since 2009. Work has been ongoing and maintenance carried out regardless of expense. She has recently been re-decked and the Mahogany carvel exterior re caulked. This is a spacious vessel that offers plenty of accommodation and living space.
Her Ford diesel engines only need a full service and the propellers to be reinstated along with some simple second fix wiring to enable any prospective owners to enjoy her either as a live aboard or a coastal cruiser. The engines are relatively low hours and she comes with everything required to recommission her.
Accommodation is mainly single berth but can be reconfigured quite easily to give 2 sizable doubles.
Offered at an attractive price, the owner is motivated to sell but having spent time aboard I don't think she will stick around for long. Out of the water to enable thorough inspection/survey, this is an opportunity to buy something a bit different and with lots of charm. She has spent time on the South Coast of England as well as the Mediterranean, where she would not look out of place in a movie.
The owner has extensive photographic records of her build and refurbishment, completing the fantastic history that comes with this vessel. Not one to be ignored.

Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
