The Appeal

There’s a great deal of fun to be had on the water and here we have a charming vessel in which to explore inland and coastal waterways.

Extensively refitted in 2020, this boat is now equipped with an 8hp Tohatsu 4-stroke outboard with electric start and helm controls, making this an economical, low maintenance craft that is easy to control.

The addition of a galvanised roller trailer makes this a boat that can be launched and used wherever the next owner pleases.

The Interior

Wooden brightwork
Ample seating forward and aft
Helm situated on starboard gunwale

This boat boasts plentiful seating and high gunwales, making this a comfortable and safe craft equally suited to freshwater or saltwater use.

To make the most of this space, the helm is situated aft and parallel to the starboard gunwale. Forward, the seating follows the shape of the bow and is afforded some weather protection by being set back from the prow.

Under the wooden foredeck is situated a comparatively large bow locker in which to store the fenders, banking irons, anchor and lines which accompany this boat.

Having been subject to a full refit in 2020, the interior of this boat remains smart and simple.

The woodwork has been refinished and the blue cushions appear to be in very good condition.

The Exterior

Repainted in 2020
GRP construction
Some use-related wear

Having been repainted during the 2020 refit, this boat presents very well visually.

As is to be expected of a craft that is launched and recovered on a trailer, there are some use-related marks to the hull, particularly where the bow contacts the trailer snubber and around the corners of the transom.

We particularly enjoy the wooden appointments which make this appear a very traditional vessel.

Overall, the exterior condition of this boat is very good and we're big fans of the colour combination of red, white and blue above and below the waterline.

The Mechanics

8hp, 4-stroke Tohatsu outboard
Electric start
Remote controls

We particularly like how this boat is set up in such a way that it is simple to operate.

The 8 horsepower Tohatsu is an economical, quiet and torquey powerplant that should propel this boat more than adequately in most conditions. Furthermore, this unit has only covered 20 hours use and so is in fine fettle.

Electric start and remote controls mean that this boat can be controlled entirely from being seated at the helm.

This added ease of operation is unusual on boats this size and make it really very usable.

Summary

This boat combines traditional features such as wooden brightwork and coach painting with a low-maintenance GRP hull and modern helm setup.

With its smart galvanised trailer, this would make a wonderful craft for first time boaters and experienced seafarers alike.
