Broker's Comments

The Achilles 840 is well constructed boat,
which is why this boat still looks great today.
The boat is in lovely condition with lots of recent work carried out including New Engine, full anti-foul removal and new heads.
It is nice to one still in its original shiny gel-coat with nice woodwork down below, and now at a very reasonable price, this boat should not be missed.

The owner has now also included a swinging mooring in the price (At Abersoch).

2005 Survey is available to view (Much work done since but little use).
