Please note these photos were taken 3 1/2 years ago. I will try to get more up to date photos next time I visit the boat

Since then, she has been left standing open to the elements for the last 3 1/2 years and she now needs some love, care and tlc.

Apart from needing replacement sheet winches that mysteriously disappeared over the winter, most of the work required is cosmetic and would include the following:

- an all over pressure wash to clear the dirt and grime that has built up over the years.

- the coach-house and cockpit paintwork is peeling quite badly so would ideally require rubbing down and repainting. The aforementioned pressure wash would undoubtedly help to remove a lot of the peeling paint.

- Most of the cabin lining has become unstuck and degraded, so would need to be removed and new lining put in or painting over

- a thorough clean inside the cabin

Priced for quick sale: £3,495



I am also selling separately a Yamaha 8hp with remotes, a long shaft, high thrust and electric power tilt outboard for £1,295, that suits this boat perfectly.
