It isn't in the on line version but todays Metro had a short bit about the motor boat add which claimed the boat may have a leak and showed a picture of the same boat sunk in it's berth with the top of the cabin showing.
 
"Classic boat for sale - your chance to own a rare and probably unique boat. This yacht has a long history, and possibly has made several voyages. Your chance to own a piece of maritime history, this boat would be excellent for a first time classic boat owner."
