Broker's Comments
*** JUST REDUCED***
I am pleased to be able to offer this classic Freeman 27 river cruiser, presented in what appears to be in generally good original condition.
She has a recent new pump out toilet and holding tank fitted and hot water and shower. Her upholstery is very tidy and undamaged to my eye and very comfortable. Her whole interior is very very nice indeed.
This boat benefits from a current BSS certificate to September 2024. She has been serviced this year and also had a new starter motor, and cutlass bearing. The current owner has also had new interior carpets fitted which look and feel very nice.
She is very original throughout and her wood work is in exceptionally nice condition for her age. She is powered by an economical single BMC diesel so is very cost effective to run.
She has all the classic accommodation of a Freeman and can sleep 4 in Freeman comfort! These 27 foot models are very sought-after as they are a scaled up version of the smaller Freemans, just with more space and room to relax.
The boat is a 1980 version and is in good overall condition. There is a minor split in the rear bench seat which is a cheap and simple fix; other than that she is very presentable - clean and tidy inside.
It should be noted that this boat appears to be presented in gelcoat topsides (and this looks to be in good condition) with a painted hull with only the deck tread-way paint in need of any work to the anti-slip coating. This area is in need of repainting which is a simple matter to do over a weekend.
If you are looking for a classically styled, spacious river boat from a well respected manufacturer, and with oodles of style and a good following then this is the boat for you. Early viewing is recommended as these boats are popular.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
