Broker's Comments

Register with Boatshed to see 85 extra photos of this Ditchfield Designs 25 Ft Cruiser.

If you're in the market for a sturdy bilge keel cruiser with an excellent fit-out then look no further!

The hull was professionally built in 1977 and stored unused until purchased by the owner in 1995. He then spent the next 15 years lovingly completing the boat, and it is a credit to him!

Nice features of the boat include...

- New VHF DSC radio 2022
- New handheld VHF
- New alternator 2022
- Hull is copper coated
- Teak side decks
- Engine serviced 2022
- Raymarine Autopilot
- A sprayhood that is in great condition
- A packing less prop shaft seal that was serviced last year

Everything appears to have been done to a high standard using top quality gear and equipment, the boat wants for nothing!
