Ex-Trawler Ideal For Houseboat Conversion For Sale By Auction With No Reserve.

Unfortunately, ill health and age have prevented the owner from completing this project so, reluctantly, she is now for sale. Built of steel in 1965 at Vissers Shipyard in Den Helder Holland as a trawler this pretty little ship has spent most of her life in the North and Irish Seas until being decommissioned in 2011 when she made the long trip south from Scotland to the Isle of Wight, where she was used locally as a private yacht. Stripped of her fishing gear and more or less gutted out below she is a "blank canvas" to fit out to your own specification as a houseboat. She is currently on a recreational mooring in Newport, Isle of Wight that costs £261.24 per month by direct debit. This does not permit residential use, which is only allowed if approved by the harbour authority and of course would be more expensive.
All equipment on board is included in the sale but with no guarantees and includes two radar sets, ships compass, auto-pilot, GPS sets, generators etc. This vessel is for collection only and no delivery option is offered or implied. She is being sold by auction to the highest bidder, as seen and approved and where lying. Payment as shown below saying cash on collection (meaning transfer of ownership) must be completed within 4 days of the auction ending, by cash, PayPal (can send a PP invoice) *//////3or an agreed alternative.
