Owners Comments
"Merlin" has been in the same ownership for 26 years, although an older boat, she is very well maintained, engine recently serviced, and the boat is ready to go. She has previously been registered on the Boat Safety Scheme. She has been used on inland water ways in recent years, but is a capable offshore boat too.
Owners comments - I have ships logs going back 26 years which detail engine oil and filter changes, gearbox renewals and oil changes, fuel tank and system cleaning operations, renewal of raw water impellers and static water pump, in fact every minute maintenance detail is recorded and can be produced on request. Here an extract from the log upon arrival at Titchmarsh Marina June 2022.
