Broker's Comments

The Snapdragon 747 is known and regarded as a solid, spacious family cruiser. Built by Thames Marine, also responsible for the Invader and Mirage, the boats provide five berths in two cabins, an inboard engine, separate heads and spacious galley. There is equally good room in the cockpit, along the side decks and on the foredeck.

This version has a rebuilt Yanmar inboard engine and was previously sailed on the Norfolk Broads and so, although now expired, was British Waterways Safety Sceme compliant. This boat was also surveyed during 2020, a copy of which is available on request. Furthermore, the boat is complete with a stainless steel frame to assit raising and lowering the tabernacle mast.
This sale is also offered complete with a yard trailer for the boat, inflatable dinghy and rigid dinghy. If you would like any further information, or to arrange a personal viewing then please do contact our office and we would be happy to help.

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