Broker's Comments

A great opportunity to own this sought after Aquabell cruiser. This version has had plenty of upgrades, including a recent 270hp engine, new decks, navigation instruments and galley. This boat would be suitable for fishing, diving or as a motor cruiser, with a large cockpit, separate cabin and heads, heating and galley. There is also a video available of this boat underway, available on request.

Offers on the asking price will be considered.
