Description

Here we have a mid 70s Seamaster in need of some TLC as the woodwork has suffered some dampness issues over the years.
Crabby Jacks has been in the same ownership for around 15 years but over the last few years the family has grown up and the owners have not been able to spend the time on her that she deserves. I would say she is a usable project.
She is fitted with the 1600cc Wortham Blake petrol engine which gives quiet cruising on the Thames and doesn't use a lot of fuel.
She is a little unusual as she is fitted with an original Seamaster helm shelter, a nice touch and allows for good solid handrails as you enter & exit the cockpit.
She is berthed on an island in Teddington which offers very good value moorings, it may be possible to transfer this leisure mooring to the new owners subject to acceptance by the Island mooring administer.
This boat is lying on a private berth on a private mooring, viewings are by appointment only. Please call or email to arrange a viewing.
