Coronet 24 for sale in Swansea United Kingdom

The Coronet 24 Roatan is a classic motorboat that embodies the solid build quality and timeless design for which Coronet boats are known. Built in 1972, this vessel has seen many years of enjoyment on the water and has been kept in operational condition with several important mechanical upgrades over the years. These updates include a Volvo Penta AQ31P Turbo Diesel engine and a Volvo Duo Prop leg, both installed in 1998, which provide reliable performance and efficient power for cruising.

Roatan is equipped with essential electronics, such as a Garmin GPS plotter, fish finder, and VHF radio, making navigation manageable and functional. The boat also features modern conveniences like electric trim tabs and a solar trickle charger to help maintain the batteries.

While the boat appears mechanically sound and capable of delivering a smooth and enjoyable ride, it does require attention to its cosmetic aspects. The exterior and interior show signs of wear consistent with its age, and a cosmetic overhaul would significantly enhance both its appearance and comfort. These updates would allow the next owner to personalize the boat and bring it back to its former glory.

The cabin, which features a V-berth and a sea toilet, is functional but could benefit from refurbishment to improve the overall onboard experience. Similarly, the deck and cockpit areas, while spacious and practical, would likely benefit from some restoration work to enhance their usability and aesthetic appeal.

Overall, Roatan presents a solid foundation for someone looking to invest in a classic motorboat with good bones and reliable mechanics. With some care and attention to its cosmetic needs, this boat has the potential to be a charming and enjoyable vessel for many more years to come. This is a great opportunity for a buyer who appreciates the character of classic boats and is willing to put in the effort to restore Roatan to its full potential.
