Broker's Comments

Register with Boatshed to see 36 extra photos of this MFV 68'.

This is a working gill netter and I only had a short time on board before she was off to sea again. She has a UK Fishing Boat Safety Licence valid until Jan 2009.

She is available for sale as a complete working boat with all her equipment but no licence. Alternatively, she can be sold with all her fishing and electronic equipment removed, as a boat for conversion to a "Live Aboard" and in this case the price would be substantially reduced by negotiation.

For those with imagination, she would be an immense live aboard and go anywhere motor cruiser. Beneath the aluminium shelter deck and buried under all the fishing machinery lurks a very fine looking hull with a graceful sheerline. Her fish rooms are massive with huge headroom and these would clearly convert to very spacious living accommodation.

I have a number of other pictures not shown on these web pages. If you would like them, please ask.

Currently lying in Penzance.

Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
