Remarks:
This very well presented motor cruiser is spacious and comfortable, and her twin engines make her easy to handle and maneuver whatever the conditions. Fully equipped with both shower and cabin heating, and with a shallow draft and low air draft, she is ideal for family cruising on the Norfolk Broads, Thames and other rivers/lakes.
