Broker's Comments

The popular Freeman 22 was the first production river cruiser way back in 1957. Since then over 1500 were built. This example is well presented and ready to use. A new battery was fitted recently and the current owner replaced the cockpit shelter this year. An ideal first boat as they are so easy to handle. See "more photos" to view 31 internal and external photos of this vessel. Photographs, analysis and comments by Craig Morris of Boatshed Norfolk.
