Patterson Fishing Boat for sale in Henley on Thames United Kingdom

Boat Overview

The ultimate day fishing boat or all year round cuddy cruiser.

When a lake dwelling fishing enthusiast wanted the ultimate stable spacious boat to fit in his boathouse, he designed Matilda with Hamish of PBW. Nippy and comfortable, ideal for estuary, lake or river, this is a unique and charming cabin launch.

Construction Details

• The hull is built of top quality marine ply and finished in E-Glass and white paint.
• Decks are of varnished quarter sawn Douglas fir.
• Internal flooring is also of varnished quarter sawn Douglas fir.
• Side decks and wheelhouse are made of English oak.
• The roof of the wheelhouse is grooved plywood, painted white on the outside, with cedar tongue and groove on the inside.
• All deck hardware is of stainless steel.

Engine Specifications

The Honda outboard BF 40 is a reliable 40 hp engine with a leg that can be lifted for shallow water (vessel draft 1ft 6ins). The outboard is concealed under the varnished wood aft deck.

Interior Features

The boat feels surprisingly spacious with:

• Forward bunks
• Several lockers
• Comfortable seating in the aft cockpit and in the wheelhouse
• A useful Portapotti

Matilda has a current Boat Safety Scheme certificate for use on the inland waterways including the Norfolk Broads.

Seating and Socializing

Matilda would make a great all year round launch for any user, whether or not fishing was of interest. More seating could be fitted in the cockpit area to accommodate a total of six outside. Currently, there is:

• A wrap around L shaped bench on the port side with cushions
• A matching moveable single seat on the starboard side

An additional driving position could also be added in the aft cockpit if a new owner felt the need to enjoy socializing while steering.
