The boat is sold with all equipment
(we do not currently have a detailed inventory; much of the equipment and fittings must be viewed on site).
Sale following a deathAny serious offer will be considered (no trades)
The boat is well-built, but the new owner will need to bring it up to standard in several areas:
- Some elbow grease to restore it to its former glory
- Painting will be required
- Engine overhaul
- Electrical system overhaul
- Hull refitting will be required (the last refitting was done around 2021/2022)
Important: Given the current situation, there will be no handover or on-site inspection of the vessel.
Since this is an unusual boat, we may not be able to answer all questions.
Xboat will not provide cost estimates for the work.
