Remarks:
Purchased by the vendor about 6/7 years ago, this Shetland 535 Personnel Carrier is now offered for sale due to lack of use. Offering spacious open plan accommodation with bench seating and a gas stove, the boat lends herself well to use as a dayboat for taking friends and family out on the river, or as a utility or fishing boat, with ample space to fish off the stern and for storage of fishing gear under the useful covered forward area. She could also easily be used for overnighting, either utilising the existing forward/side seating or ‘camping style’ on her large open floor! Whilst this example is currently based inland on the Norfolk Broads, the Shetland 535 is also a good little sea boat. A really versatile little motor boat which has clearly been well looked after, but is now sadly surplus to requirements and has been little used of recent.
