Ok a little odd ball but at that money who can complain
In the Netherlands, so easy to get back.

Cheap boating

Looks tidy enough on the outside but no internal pics.....

 

[sorabain]

does it have an engine? Ad doesn't seem to mention anything about engine(s), and no pics of engine room...

 

[Whitelighter]

I would imagine it has 2.
Was listed for €129k

For 50k I’d even take the effort to email

Think this is the same boat, looks tidy inside and has engines

One of these moored locally, think is based on a generic hull, possibly a Bennet or Olinski moulded in UK.
Fit out was by independant company to customer specification and hence usually did not end up with Volvo propulsion.
Seacoral was a similar product. ?
Unfortunately selling prices do suffer due to not having the name PRINFAIR on the side and the lack of pair a green painted engines within.
Did look at a couple during one boat search, both older boats than this and did suffer mightly from customer preference for acres of proper gloomy dingy dark wood.
Newer ones most probably more modern interiors.The interior on this seems bang up to date.
An awful lot of boat for not a lot of money.

Something about it doesn't seem right to me either. The first thing I thought when I saw it was..............SCAM

 

[Fusebox]

It's an auction.

We've been looking for a boat of this size without engines, and e-mailed them. They replied quickly, so it seems to be genuine enough. They had no comment on my question regarding missing engines, though.

Please keep posting any other findings, Whitelighter

My first thought was “distress auction”.
I’m fairly certain it won’t go for only €50k, but still could be a bargain for somebody.

I called the broker, mr Kappers here in Netherlands. He received no previous response on the asking price of € 129k, so the owner has put the boat up at auction now, with an opening bid at € 50k through Yachtbid.com at March 18th.

Plus some additional web ads at Inautia Yachtworls CosasBarcos etc.... which apparently worked to get this thread started !

We'll see what the future brings...

OK, so I'm now in the process of eating my overly cynical hat

Has...

Cummins engines / Shafts
Onan Generator
A/C
Eber
Paserelle

Could be a great bargain for someone if the reserve isn't too high.

I’m not surprised - €129k was always optimistic

I’ll be surprised if it gets more than a few bids.
I guess it might get into the €60k ish
