NB This is only a 10 day listing.....I shall be listing it again for longer....Up for sale is ‘Pearly Diver’, a 40ft De Groot steel Flybridge Motor Cruiser built in 1981. She has been designed as a “liveaboard” but is also a comfortable cruiser. With a cruising speed of 10 knots and a maximum speed of 12 knots she has excellent sea keeping qualities, having cruised the Norfolk Broads, Solent, River Thames, Medway and SouthCoast. Fully refurbished in the last few years and fitted out to a high standard she has lots of specially designed storage spaces. With over 6ft headroom throughout she has been fitted with new brown curtains, new taupe tweed polyester upholstery in the saloon and blue suede upholstery in the dining room. The saloon / wheel house area, galley and forward cabin have new ceilings, teak panels and Tek-Dek teak internal floors. The Webasto diesel heating and pressurised hot and cold water runs throughout. The purpose built engine room has a ventilation and extraction system housing two BMC 80HP naturally aspirated 4 cylinder diesel engines with two new stainless fuel tanks. The engines are extremely economical having been serviced annually and were last serviced in March 2012, having been hardly used since, they will be serviced this winter. There is also a 3KVA stand alone generator serviced in March 2012 and three domestic batteries new in 2012 charging from the alternator, battery charger and via 240v shore power system. lus two dedicated engine batteries, one per unit.New rudders and stainless steel shafts were fitted in 2011 with PSS seals and glands repacked. A survey was carried out in 2014 and problems were found with the rear section of the hull. These works have now been completed plus the hull has had a complete epoxy repaint. Too many minor works to list….. It has, in the last 2 years, had major works carried out to the stern area of the hull and the aft cabin refitted completely to give a light and airy, more modern feel, with a king size bed base. The forward cabin with en-suite heads has a double berth which can also be used as two single berths. The recently refitted aft cabin has a spacious double king size island berth with heads and a shower. The saloon table can also be dropped to make a double berth. The large galley with plenty of work surface has a standing Isotherm fridge, Frigoboat 12v water cooled freezer, 4 burner gas hob with oven and grill, 2 stainless steel sinks with a `nature-pure` water purifier system and a built in drainer. Opposite the galley is a saloon table which can comfortably seat 6 people. The spacious flybridge has dual controls and a purpose built locker to house a washing machine and a dryer. There is also a second locker to house all safety equipment and 2 gas bottles. The spacious decks are covered with Permateek synthetic non-slip teak making them safe to walk around. With new stainless steel deck gear including a Lewmar 12v anchor windlass, Houdini hatches, davits, bathing platform with stainless steel ladder. This is a `work in progress` at present and due for completion by next spring.Our intentions were, and perhaps still are, to get this over to Europe and travel the French canals. As works are completed I will be updating the list and perhaps the price…………… Viewing essential.More photos and details upon request..... Lying ashore at Melton/Woodbridge Suffolk IP12.
