Broker's Comments
****REDUCED***
Here we have a very nice example of the ever popular Aquafibre 42 Centre Cockpit Broads cruiser. This one appears to be in very nice and tidy order and has a very well starting and running BMC diesel engine and the addition of the side power bow thruster which makes her a breeze to manoeuvre.
The layout of this particular boat is a twin in the bow, double cabin to the starboard side with heads and shower to port opposite the side cabin. Then step up into the main saloon and wheelhouse which can convert to a double and has direct side deck access when the roof is open. Moving aft from the raised saloon under the sliding roof we have another heads and larger shower to starboard and the longitudinal galley to port with full size cooker, fridge and plenty of worktop and storage cupboard space. Towards the aft end of the boat is a very flexible layout that gives two separate sleeping cabins for up to 5 people, or you can open the whole space up to have a large aft saloon area which leads out to the large aft well with cut out transom.
The boat appears to be clean, dry and tidy and in good order to my eye and has a lot to offer especially with the added thruster. Warm air heating and shore power with battery charger complete the very comprehensive inventory of the delightful vessel.
She is still in gelcoat on her topsides with just the sliding roof painted a fetching grey. She has a full aft cover to keep the elements out.
Her Broads toll is paid to April 2024 and her Boat Safety Certificate runs to Feb 2025. Her mooring in Stalham can also be available to the new owner with the agreement of the marina.
