Broker's Comments

This boat is for sale by sealed tender as part of a deceased estate.
Bids should be in excess of £3000.Closing date for bids is 1700 on 26th August 2009.
Viewing may be arranged through John at Boatshed Bristol.
She is to be sold as seen.
Tender documents are available from Boatshed Bristol giving full details of the tender requirements. Bids must be submitted using these documents.
A "B" layout Centaur she has been neglected for several years due to ill health of the owner and is in need of some TLC. She appears essentially sound and much work was carried out on her in the past (invoices available) including typical Centaur keel repairs and strengthening. The engine has reached the end of its effective life and needs replacing together with the gear box.
Once refurbished this craft should give many more years of service.
These boat details are believed correct but must be verified by the bidder prior to tender.

This Westerly Centaur has been personally photographed and viewed by John of Boatshed Bristol. Click here for contact details.
