Broker's Comments

A very well presented and much improved De Groot 42 Steel Motoer Cruiser.

She has a survey available carried out in 2017 and has over the past 9 months had many improvements made to her and a lot of TLC.

Presented ready to go the mooring is available on the Norfolk Broads.

In Late 2017 she has been re anti fouled, the hull re painted, new teak deck plugs, re designed and improved fwd cabin with new bunks, new woodwork on the coach roof, new bunks in the aft cabin to name but a few of the upgrades.

Ideal as a distance cruiser or live aboard
