Broker's Comments
There is not a lot to be said about the qualities of a Watson Lifeboat. They were built to go to sea when other vessels could not.
This vessel has been converted for a liveaboard, however the project has been on hold for a couple of years due to the owners change of plans. There is still a lot to do, however the main structure is in place and she would make an interesting project to complete.
