This 40ft Springer has the potential to be a lovely compact water home. 

​

The hull has been extensively rebuilt and a new engine was recently installed. We have blacked the boat and added new anodes. 

​

Inside, the wood burner will keep you toasty on cold winter mornings and there is a large bedroom forward.

​

The electrics, plumbing and gas will need updating, but you can do that work, safe in the knowledge that you are building on a very strong foundation, with a good hull, good engine. A boat like this, fitted out well, will provide an excellent return on investment for a talented boat fitter. 

​

The canvasses are in good condition so you can make good use of the large cruiser stern deck.

​

We do not have old surveys for this boat, we are increasingly finding that other people’s surveys are a bit like Trip Advisor reviews; often fake or uselessly out of date, so here at Hemel Marina, we will lift the boat for free for your surveyor to carry out an inspection. If there is any underwater welding work that needs to be done as a result of your survey, in almost every case we will take care of it within the asking price. We have found this is the fairest and most reliable way of delivering a boat with a sound hull rather than you taking a chance with someone else’s dodgy survey. All the details will be confirmed in writing before we proceed. 

​

There is no existing BSS but we can add one (for a fee). There is no mooring offered with this boat, hard standing may be possible (subject to availability). You can cruise the boat away from us, we are on the Grand Union Canal, around three days cruise to Central London, five days to Birmingham or four days to The Thames.

​

We can deliver anywhere in the UK by road (for a fee) and the boat is here (along with many others) at Hemel Marina, HP1 2RZ. We are open for viewings Tuesday-Friday 9-5 and Saturdays 9-3. Message me for a walk-through video.
