Broker's Comments
Sailing Today magazine said in the June 1999 edition " The Snapdragon 747 is an extremely popular small cruiser...solid and reliable...simple and economic...tough and spacious"
Who am I to argue with this assessment!
This is a great little starter boat that needs some tlc to make her look good again but she had a good survey in 2004. Ideally suited for a drying mooring and at this price you could'nt go wrong!
