Broker's Comments

Freeman 23 powered by a Watermota Sea Tger 1100cc crossflow petrol engine.

She offer 4 berths in what can be effectively classed as 2 cabins due to a bi-folding door arrangement between the saloon and fwd cabin.

She is a dry boat with no signs at all of any window leaks and the upholstery etc is in good order. Externally she is in her original gelcoat and I did not see any damage.

Unfortunately the owner has passed and as a result she has been neglected for a few months but I see no reason why a wash will not transform her. She has obviously been very well cared for in the past and in my opinion she is a very good example of this popular marque.

These boat details are subject to contract.
