NEW LISTING!
Description
'City of Eustis' was commissioned by the seller in 2016 as a comfortable cruising boat for their retirement, but a change in personal circumstances has resulted in the boat being put up for sale. Named after a small city in Florida, she has all the character and features of a classic tug style narrow boat with a contemporary fit-out to the seller's specification. The engine was also completely re-built in 2018 and the hull blacked, anodes replaced in 2019 before the boat was moved to the Great Ouse river system where she has a current EA licence valid until 31/3/2022.
