Remarks:
Providing the full character of a wooden boat, but with the reassurance and easy maintenance of an epoxied hull, this is a lovely little river cruiser with great accommodation for two. This boat appears to be in excellent condition throughout, having been maintained to a high standard by her current and previous owners.
