For sale is my 52 foot ex pilot boat, house purchase forces quick sale. She was purchased exactly one year ago from the previous owner who had owned her for the last 20 years. The hull is of GRP construction and is absolutely bullet proof, so solid. She has twin Detroit Diesel engines, which are again solid as a rock. The entire boat was professionally re-wired by the previous owner. The boat comes with Boat Safety Certificate and if required a permanent mooring on the River Trent at Gunthorpe, Nottingham. The boat has a lot of deck space, a large wheelhouse, two large cabins, and a big engine room. I am in the process of refitting the interior, which is not yet completed. I purchased this boat to convert into a large livaboard, it would suit someone willing to put the time in to finish her. I spent a long time looking for the right boat before I bought one, she is totally solid, but just tatty inside the cabins. I had her out of the water a year ago and independently examined, and also had the hull cleaned and anti-fouled. She's 52 feet long, 16.5 feet wide, plus she has a swim deck at the back. I have temporarily removed the radar boom, I had to in order to get her onto the section of the Trent she currently sails, although this could now be fixed back on. She is independently valued at £80,000 in her current condition, as an incentive for a quick sale I am starting this auction at £45,000 as is. She is an absolutely huge boat for the money, one of the biggest on the river! Grab yourself a real bargain! All sensible offers considered. I don't want to sell her, but my situation dictates otherwise, she's a truly beautiful boat. Viewing recommended and welcomed.
