FOR SALE - PRINCESS 32FT 10FT BEAM LIVE-ABOARD TOURER, ON A £43 PER WEEK MOORING ON THE RIVER MEDWAY, KENT

THIS EXCELLENT 'PRINCESS 32' MODEL CABIN CRUISER HAS BEEN CUSTOMISED TO A LIVE ABOARD COMPACT AND HAS BEEN REFURBISHED, STEM TO STERN, KEEL TO ROOF, AND THROUGHOUT ITS INTERIOR, AND NOW HAS ALL THE BASIC NECESSITIES REQUIRED, DERIVED FROM 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE, TO TRAVEL ABOUT, RELIABLY AND ECONOMICALLY, THE UK INLAND WATEREWAYS

FOR THE MAIN PART OF THE CONVERSION, I ADAPTED TWO-THIRDS OF THE AFT SUNDECK BY ADDING 8 X 8 EXTRA CABIN AND FITTED A LARGE SOLAR PANEL ON ITS ROOF. SET IN A NEW MARINE PLY FLOOR RIGHT THROUGH, MODIFIED THE TRABSOM TO ACCOMMODATE A NEW HONDA 40 HP OUTBOARD AND HAD BOW THRUSTER FITTED. THESE LATTER TWO ITEMS IN PLACE WITH ANCILLARIES COST £10K (MAKES THIS SUBSTANTIAL BOAT EASY TO HANDLE SOLO)

THIS CRAFT IS ALSO CAPABLE OF PRODUCING ITS OWN ELECTRICITY SUPPLY VIA 4 LARGE MARINE BATTERIES AND ITS 1000 WATTT INVERTER MEANS YOU CAN USE POWER TOOLS (UP TO 800 WATT) WHILE OFFSHORE. A NEW 1000 WATT HONDA GU10i (SMALL LIGHTWEIGHT GENERATOR) IS INCLUDED AS A VERSATILE CONTINGENCY. A NEW “EBERSPACHER” (THERMOSTAICALLT CONTROLLED HOT AIR DUCTED HEATING) KEEPS IT COSY IN THE WINTER AND NO DAMP

CONVERSLY, WITH THE AFT DOOR OPEN, THE ROOF HATCHES FORWARD TO SEND A COOL AIRFLOW DOWN THROUGH THE BOAT, LOVELY IN SUMMER. WITH A LITTLE JUXTAPOSITION (INFLATABLE MATRESS ETC) THIS BOAT ,IF REQUIRED, CAN ACCOMMODATE UP TO 5 ADULTS FOR HOLIDAY DURATIONS, THEREIN LIES ITS SERENITY.

ANYWAY, I PAID £6000 FOR THE SH HULL AND SPENT £18,000 ON THE MODIFICATIONS (ORIGINALLY FOR MYSELF) THE DETAILS ARE AVAILABLE. YOU CARRY THE FUELS AND IT CAN DO THE REST. WITHOUT THEN CHARGING FOR MY SPECIALISED LABOUR IT OWES ME £24,000. THERE IS A 10% BROKERAGE FEEE IN THIS TRANSACTION (TO THE MARINA) I WILL PAY THAT
