The interior has a traditional and quality feel with lots of nice touches that gives her a great character that will quickly make you feel at ease. She is a great boat and comes with moorings that are very reasonably priced so please come and view her so you can see for yourself.You are welcome to come and see the boat and look her over, so please feel free to give me, Richard, a call on 07958 792122, and ask any questions or to arrange a viewing. Alternatively, you can just turn up and look around as the boat is in a boatyard on the Thames; Bell Weir Boats Ltd, Yard Mead, Egham, Surrey, TW20 0AA. I have taken the measurements from the previous owners, Boat Safety Certificates and other sources. Cash, Cheque, Banker's Draft or Bank Transfer is required for payment, and the payment will have to clear before you can use or take the boat. The boatyard welcomes DIY boaters and also has a full range of professional services on hand. I can also help with delivery if needed but you are more than welcome to continue with the mooring in the boatyard. Please feel free to email, phone or visit. |
