We looked at one of these - nice boat- but access to the storage was a pain - all well organised but required the floor to be taken up to get at them

I wouldn't respond to offers that low. You need to have a reason for such a low offer, like others for sale in a similar condition. Sealines are sought after. I priced mine reasonably And had 4 immediate offers (SC35) and sold within minutes at asking price. No harm in trying of course. All...

This is a big boat and you would need to figure out which areas are most easily accessible for you. Guildford is 50 minutes from Chichester which might be the furthest East that you want to go. Premier Chichester could take this size boat at a lower cost than the Portsmouth or Southampton/Hamble...

Do the IPS drives restrict access by increasing required draft?

Tank steriliser comes in small sachets - mine is enough for around 250 litres. I do drink the water but only after boiling and I have a jabsco in-line filter.

You might also consider an Atlantic which is hard to differentiate from a Broom. Being Dutch they work well on the canals using a single engine as they are located closer together.

Most of the replacement anodes that I buy all come with the rubber backing gasket - easy enough to make one up though

I've got the workshop manual too BUT for the 63 upwards - I have attached it anyway as it may well be common

These might help OneDrive - too large to attach here

The sale cannot be finalised until the executor obtains probate.

I had an issue with both engines - but it was down to growth on the props - unlikely that just one prop would suffer though

Takes all sorts I guess. Mine previously supplied parts at cost but if I supply he saves time and prefers it that way, less paperwork. He's looked after my boat for many years.

Twin so two. As Volvo Paul pointed out earlier the hours needed are not great. So as long as you have a Volvo trained independent engineer at a reasonable rate.... (Hard to find of course)

A close read of the manual will answer all of the what's involved questions. I wouldn't presume to advise, but share my experience with twin D6 engines and DPH drives. I would source the parts myself and only buy VP branded items which they manufacture (not much); they don't manufacture oil or...

Have you checked the dip stick. If not firmly fitted, oil will pump out here.
