Broker's Comments
Birchwoods are well known river cruisers which give plenty of great space. Being easy to handle these are great first boats for exploring the UK inland waterways.
This example has been used as a live aboard and has had a few recent upgrades to accommodate this with the addition of 2 x 120w & 1 x 150W solar panels, 600w inverter, multiple 230v and USB sockets, LED lighting as well as floor level strip lighting, television & soundbar and TV arial to name a few!
She is looking tired in places, however these all seem to be cosmetic - notably there is some damage to the hull which has had gelcoat repairs however, it has not been colour matched.
