Well we hada look and really it was a no no.Its was a bulky boat for its length drawing almost two meters.Needed a lot of work on the interior.The engine a Sole diesel was in good order but the fuel tank was basically a glass box right up in the stern with no access to clean out.Although it seemed to have been ok since 1976!.Other little off putting bits were it had too hightopsides for elderly crew to jump down from on to the pontoon and it had no bilge,completely flat with dubious runsting metal bits alongside the dubious looking keel studs…….no sign of voids in sandwich deck!……Galapagas 29……Coruna

Don’t take the piss😂…….hopefully next weekend will view a more manage ableboatwithout so many defects………owners were a young couple who had limited experience and paid for all the engine servicing to be done by a pro…..they seemed blissfully ignorant of possible problems…..all I could see was problems🙄
