Description
Boats built by John White are popular as they are seen as solidly built and easy on the eye. This one has an attractive layout with a large saloon, cottage style galley, bedroom with wardrobe space, side bathroom with shower and engine room. The engine is boxed in, so that this area offers useful storage. The front deck area is larger than the average, making it a perfect al fresco dining area on pleasant days. As to be expected for a boat of this age, whilst the boat is good to go, some areas need attention.
