Broker's Comments

Here we have a classic and very unique 21 foot wooden river launch from the mid 30s that is now fully electric with whole day usage and onboard charging and recent new batteries and trailer. If you have a local property this would be a wondaful day boat to have at the end of the garden!

She has been restored in the past by Colin Buttifant, one of the areas best wooden boat builders, and she is a charming and tidy little vessel with a canopy cabin roof.

She was last antifouled in 2023 and has been mostly out of the water since. The current owner just does not have the time to use her so she is being sold so someone can enjoy this lovely vessel.

She has a Boat Safety Certificate to 2027 and recent new batteries (8). She has onboard charging and will fully charge overnight and run all day at 15A current draw, which is about 3mph.

Unfortunately she is inside a dark workshed at a boat yard and was dusty from storage but will be cleaned over. I will also endeavour to get some better pictures of her outside the building.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
