IDEAL COMPACT LIVEABOARD FOR LONDON
Hi, and thanks for looking at my ad for this Hampton Safari for sale on behalf of the owner. Complete with a stack of invoices showing caring and enthusiastic ownership, her history shows she was built in 1980 and is a great example with a very smart exterior and an original interior; unlike so many of these boats this one has not been chopped around by previous owners. Ideally suited to liveaboard and pied-a-terre use or equally as a holiday cruiser, this is a superb boat for low cost living around London's canals and rivers. If you look around you can see that the asking price of £13,500 is very reasonable for a boat of this standard and the owner will also consider reasonable offers; she is advertised for sale elsewhere.Come and have a look around her, she is a great boat with some great features and a bright and light interior. You will not be disappointed.GRP (fibreglass) hull and cabin in lovely conditionSuperb sliding roof over saloon and driving positionWide and safe decks, non-slip, with handrails for safe boat working

She is a great boat and is very reasonably priced so please come and view her so you can see for yourself.You are welcome to come and see the boat and look her over, so please feel free to give me, Richard, a call on 07958 792122, and ask any questions or to arrange a viewing. Alternatively, you can just turn up and look around as the boat is in a boatyard on the Thames; Bell Weir Boats Ltd, Yard Mead, Egham, Surrey, TW20 0AA. I have taken the measurements from the previous owners, Boat Safety Certificates and other sources. Cash, Cheque, Banker's Draft or Bank Transfer is required for payment, and the payment will have to clear before you can use or take the boat. The boatyard welcomes DIY boaters and also has a full range of professional services on hand. I can also help arrange delivery to your chosen mooring if required.
