Viking Canal Boats 60 x 10 Widebeam in vendita (2016) in Reading, Berkshire, Regno Unito

Boat Description

Hydra is in good structural condition and generally good cosmetic standard, reflecting careful past ownership. The vessel has a fair standard of maintenance. A 2025 survey is available and can be reassigned at completion FOC. Hydra has been newly blacked, polished, and a new boat safety certificate issued. With a beam of 10', Hydra is suitable for the Great Ouse systems and easily navigated on all UK Wide Beam waterways. She features a 1 bedroom design with a reverse layout, galley forward of the saloon, and a full canopy for both the aft cockpit and forward hatch. The boat is powered by a Beta Marine diesel engine, which was recently fully serviced by T M Marine Engineering. The Morso stove was converted to diesel supply in  2024 at a cost of circa £4000, giving immediate heat when coming aboard.
