Classic 33 ft motorboat, much admired with pretty lines. Sturdy GPR construction displacing 9 tonnes & 8/100 weight. She is a Colvic hull laid up Sept 1969 powered by two reliable BMC 1.5 diesels with easy starting. She has twin bilge/skeg keels with protected props and rudders and is therefore able to sit up on a drying mooring, maintenance free deep sea seals on the props. Very effective Vetus bow thruster and aft, the davits and swim ladder.
She is entered through the teak sliding door, step down through the companionway into the wheelhouse with seating area for 5 with a folding navigation / dinning table. Moving forward with steps down to the galley with door of to the left to the heads with wash basin and shower, next along there is a useful full hight cupboard and then cabin door to the fully enclosed vee-berth. Back in the wheel house moving aft there are steps down into the aft cabin with a spacious double bed, this cabin benefits from a good size hanging wardrobe and an ensuite heads with wash basin. This cabin has been fitted with replacement opening port lights and received a general refurbishment for added comfort.
There is pumped hot water, heated via the engines and an emersion electric heater when on shore power. A new and very effective diesel warm air heating system has been installed. The engine bay houses 2 starter batteries and a leisure battery, these are charged from the two alternators when under way and maintained by the Victron charger through a charge splitter. The boat has a galvanic isolator. Additionally she has been converted to electric cooking with a further set of Rolls batteries charged from the engines and shore power via a dedicated Victron charger. Off grid, 240v is provided for by a 1.6kw Victron inverter to run cooking appliances. All the batteries, chargers and inverter described above are new or virtually new.
In the galley there is a power for a fridge to run 12v and 240v as required. And 240v power options to run from the shore power supply or battery / inverter power as required.

Things to do
Both rev counters require reconditioning, though they are recording engine hours.
The starboard oil pressure gauge and or the sensor requires attention
The navigation /deck lights need attention/ new light bulbs or up dating.
As a classic boat she will always benefit from regular maintenance and gentle renovations. She is in good useable condition and has been a real pleasure to have owned her. The gel-coat is still original and will come u t a nice shine to the hull, the top sides do show more of the impact of time however we have elected to keep original but others may choose to paint.
She is moored in a secure mooring and this can be passed on to the new owner. Current Mooring fee is £155 per month
