Broker's Comments
Built in 1968 but meticulously maintained Boatshed Essex are delighted to offer for sale this exceptional Rampart 48 Motor Cruiser.
Under the current ownership no expense has been spared to ensure this lovely vessel is kept in great condition.
She is hauled out every 2 years to inspect the hull, be cleaned and re-antifouled. Whilst out all topsides are treated to ensure the (2 inch thick!) teak decking looks great.
Inside she offers accommodation for 4 people and a large wheel house.
If you are looking for a classic motor cruiser for leisurely river or coastal cruising or perhaps as a potential live aboard, this Rampart 48 is certainly worth looking at.
(For live aboard the mooring is also available)
For more details or to arrange a viewing please contact a member of the Boatshed team.
