Broker's Comments

This Ernest Collins Classic 27 is the best I've ever had the pleasure to offer for sale! The interior has been completely refurbished in the last 4 years to the extent that practically EVERYTHING is new!
The list is as follows:-

New drive box.
New electric wiring throughout.
New battery splitter
New battery charger.
New oven.
New batteries.
New calorifier.
New Eberspacher heating system.
All new exterior decking in Marine Ply and GRP sheeted.
All internal woodwork completely re-varnished.
New heads to include new electric flush toilet, tiled throughout, new shower and taps etc.

The interior is just stunning and a credit to the current owners!

A very similar design to a Hampton Safari but 2ft longer!

The current mooring offers water, electricity and a resident engineer and is available by negotiation with the management. The BSC is current until end March 2023 but the vendor will either pay a new owner to get it done or will renew it himself!

A great boat to enjoy the coming season and a "MUST SEE" to fully appreciate!

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
