Condition Report:

a great deal of care and attention has been shown to the restoration, the rudder and throttle appear to work as intended, the prop turns, the interior is in very good condition, as the boat has been out of water for some time and stored indoors in which it has shrunk and there are minor gaps between some areas of the planks, it would need time and attention with water to swell, there is also a fitted water proof cover to protect the interior from the elements. It is 4.7 metres long and has a beam of 1550.
