UK: Molly  Project Boat  40ft Cruiser stern built by Springer in 1984

Description

Builder: Springer Engineering, Year: 1984, Stern Type: Cruiser, Engine: Lister 2-cylinder diesel. Molly is offered as a project boat, having been recently submerged and subsequently recovered. She is currently ashore on hard standing, providing clear access for inspection and works. A recent survey identified the cause of the sinking as a holed gas locker. Over time, corrosion led to perforations which allowed water ingress into the engine bay, ultimately resulting in the vessel sinking. Prior to this incident, Molly was a well-presented example of a 1984 Springer narrowboat. The baseplate was overplated in July 2023, with the hull sides blacked at the same time. Propulsion is provided by a reliable Lister 2-cylinder diesel engine, which had previously demonstrated its capability with a 190-mile journey. The engine has been serviced since the submersion and has been running, however, it does now require a new starter motor. This represents an excellent opportunity for a buyer seeking a restoration project. Available to view at Swanley Bridge Marina, near Nantwich. Layout: Cruiser Stern, Bathroom, Galley, Saloon. Bathroom: Compost toilet, wash basin, porthole, seperate tiled shower cubicle. Galley: Stainless steel sink, side doors, Microwave, Husky fridge, two plate counter top cooker, Morso Squirrel stove. Saloon: Sofa, TV, fixed double bed, windows, curtains, doors to foredeck.
