Halmatic 32 (like Nelson) twin screw motorboat cabin cruiser

Description

## REDUCED FOR QUICK SALE, GRAB YOURSELF A BARGAIN BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE DOES!! ##

A much loved member of the family it's time for her to bring joy to someone else's.
My father and I have owned her for over 10 years.

He bought her from the guy who invented the first ever bullet proof vest in Cowes.
We then had her transported by road to London where we used to live, then we took her to Chatham for a few years and then back up to Abingdon where she is now.

The boat was previously called WaterRail and built for the Royal Navy in the 70's by Claire Lallow of Cowes as a support boat for when the late Queen mother visited the island.

She is fibreglass (back when they made it the same thickness as timber!) with twin Perkins 6354 naturally aspirated diesels, so can push out 240hp if so required and cruise at 15 knots.

Halmatic are the same company that make lifeboats and pilot boats for the RNLI.

The hull has been scraped back to gel and epoxied.
Surveyed and all recommendations carried out.
Including repacking stern glands, servicing all seacocks etc.
The cooker and fridge have been replaced with a Plastimo Neptune cooker and Waeco fridge.

She has 3kva pure sign inverter ready for solar so has the ability to live off grid.
She is lovely and beamy giving 3 decent sized cabins (v berth in the forepeak, a galley with seating for 5, + 3.5 berths in the aft cabin) + the wheel house.
A very solid sea boat in her day she now resides on the Thames for a more peaceful life.
Very well built, and as my son gets older and more capable I would let him take her out on his own but she is heavy and powerful and feels a little bit like letting a child learn to drive in a big powerful truck so we are scaling down for something more manageable for both him and my father.

She is painted with a Jotun pain system and hempel on the decks. So all proper marine paint systems.

Brand new captain and navigator seats since pics.

She is very fuel efficient and incredibly easy to manoeuvre and slow speeds with fixed rudders and props a decent keel and twin screw meaning she can turn in her own length.

She can be delivered anywhere in the country.
Possibility of maintaining of current mooring in central Abingdon on Thames by separate negotiation.
