Broker's Comments

The ultimate in river launches? Get attention and respect when cruising the waterways in this former Thames Conservancy patrol boat. Or convert to passenger or tug-boat duty.

A fine, original river patrol vessel in very good order throughout, with benefit of Safety Certificate to September 2013 and Broads tolls paid to March 2011.
