Broker's Comments

A well presented example powered by a Thornycroft 1.5 marine diesel, along with a well equipped galley and includes a new cooker and cabin heating.
These are a popular brand of boat on the Norfolk Broads and make a very good entry-level cruiser for first time buyers. A BSC until 29th July 2025.
Current mooring may be available with negotiation with the marina management.
This well maintained craft is ready to go for the upcoming season and well worth viewing!
