Surveyor's notes: Many of these boats have been re-arRanged internally, with varying success. Lower-powered versions may be disappointing if you want a seaboat 120hp is too low for offshore use. Look at runners and sliders: timber around doors is susceptible to rot if water has not been allowed to drain away.
