It's a nice looking boat, with a not flashy colour (we'd rather not flashy!) and appears to have been well cared for by it's owners. At £49,995 the price is right too. Click here

Again, my opinions only, but I believe Stenson are up there with the best of them. The price for a 2004 Stenson is also very reasonable, and just wasn't available when we bought ours, also from Boatfinder Brokerage, (who have since had a change in ownership). However, I still think they are unique in that they will send you a walk through DVD of the boats you are interested in. The Barrus Shire 2000cc 4 cyl is the same as ours, from 2003, as it was replaced early in 2004 with a 3 cyl one in that size, (35hp). It is based on a Japanese Yanmar engine. Ours has been totally reliable, although some comment that they can be a little smokey, something we haven't found.
Looks like someone else thought this one was a good buy too. It's under offer now. Hopefully Boatfinder will keep up their marketing system and will be willing to send a DVD to the other side of the world when the timing is right for us. I'll keep Stenson in mind - thanks for the advice.

We found Boatfinder Brokerage to be very helpful, and I am sure there will be no problem with the DVD. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for them. We used them during their transition to new owners, while the selling owners were still there showing them how it should be done. I confirmed that they operate an independent client account for all monies paid in and out by and to customers - very important these days. This particular boat came under offer very quickly. Peter.
looks a nice boat
