History & Construction - In current ownership for about five years, this Arun Motor boat is heavily constructed with double diagonal mahogany planking. There are large windows in the coachroof, giving plenty of light below decks. The layout is currently as a two berth cruiser, with a large forecabin area with a toilet, forehatch and storage area. The main saloon has two berths with storage cupboards behind. Steps go up to the wheelhouse with galley area and helmsman's seat. Aft cockpit with rod holders and seating.

The engine is a well maintained Ford with good power to cruise the rivers and make coastal passages. This boat has a survey valuation, two years ago, of £20,000, making her current asking price a real bargain.

Comments - - -A robust and sensible motor boat suitable for cruising, fishing and pottering. Good headroom inside. On deck outside it is easy to walk forward along the side decks to get to the anchor. "Lady Sara" has been used for fishing the local rivers and estuaries. Can take the ground and will sit in a mud berth marina. She is a very practical, no nonsense boat looking for new owners who want a boat ready to go and use this year. Good weight and length of boat so will be stable at sea and easy to steer. Come for a visit to her, book an appointment today.

Now only £7,999
