Broker's Comments

This Wooden Motor Launch was first commissioned by the Metropolitan Police and used by the police on the Thames for some years. During the 1970's her claim to fame was staring in two or three episodes of the then popular TV series the Sweeney!
Recently she has been extensively refurbished and is used a live-aboard. She is a cosy boat with a separate aft cabin with two single bunks. The saloon forward of the centre cockpit has the galley and a double bunk.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

This Wooden Motor Launch 30ft has been personally photographed and viewed by Steve Booth of Boatshed Essex. Click here for contact details.
