Broker's Comments

Register with Boatshed to see 42 extra photos of this Mackays of Arbroath MFV 68' .
This is a working gill netter and I only had a short time on board before she was off to sea again.

This fantastic boat has been reduced for a quick sale. She is available for sale as a complete working boat with all of her equipment and licencefor £140,000.

Alternatively, she can be sold with all/part of her fishing and electronic equipment, without her licence as a boat for conversion to a "Live Aboard"

To be sold with a 5 year MCA safety certificate.

For those with imagination, she would be an immense live aboard and go anywhere motor cruiser. Beneath the aluminium shelter deck and buried under all the fishing machinery lurks a very fine looking hull with a graceful sheerline. Her fish rooms are massive with huge headroom and these would clearly convert to very spacious living accommodation.

I have a number of other pictures not shown on these web pages. If you would like them, please ask.

Owner keen to sell and price negotiable depending on equipment bought with the boat.

Please call to discuss.

Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
