Broker's Comments

Probably looks worse in the pictures than it actually is!
Freeman 30's are generally well thought of boats however this one has been laid up ashore for several years unloved and now it shows as she is billed as a project.
The worst part is some rot in the superstructure woodwork which will need attending to however she does have what looks like a couple of good engines which are probably worth more on their own than the entire asking price and she also has most of the right bits and pieces internally to put her back together (although not necessarily in the right places at the moment as you can see).

When done she will make a fine cruiser worth a lot more than the present asking price.
