Broker's Comments

A 22ft Centre Cockpit boat is something you do not often come across and this one is a real gem. The design is such that there is a good sized deep cockpit with the main cabin forward and an aft cabin accessed by separate companionway aft. Add to this that there is wheel steering and you have a great little cruiser with good performance and handling. This boat is in good condition and has obviously been looked after by current and past owners.
