Broker's Comments

We are pleased to offer this Mitchell 31 MkII, which is a rugged, seaworthy motor cruiser originally developed in the UK during the 1970s, with the 1976 MkII variant being one of the most popular and enduring versions. Designed primarily for offshore and coastal cruising, the Mitchell 31 is renowned for its solid construction, excellent sea-keeping abilities, and practical layout.
Over the past two years, this boat has undergone extensive upgrades and improvements. Highlights include a professionally built and installed custom stainless steel rudder, precision-machined rudder stock, stainless steel stern tube, and a custom-fabricated stainless steel water lock, along with associated components. A custom-manufactured prop shaft has also been fitted, featuring water-lubricated shaft and rudder bearings.

The vessel now boasts a completely new hydraulic steering system, including emergency steering capabilities. A new bilge pump system has been installed, comprising two Rule computerized automatic bilge pumps with all associated wiring.

In addition to the significant mechanical upgrades, the boat is equipped with a top-tier Raymarine Axiom navigation and electronics package. This includes two 12" HybridTouch monitors, a Raymarine Quantum Radome, fishfinder sonar, and a Raymarine autopilot system. The value of the Raymarine equipment and its professional installation alone is estimated at around £10,000.

Originally being prepared for charter fishing, the vessel also comes with a comprehensive array of safety equipment. This includes a selection of life jackets, an 8-man life raft with EPIRB, a separate ACR EPIRB, a SOLAS grab bag with essential gear, flares, and first aid supplies.

A significant amount of money has been invested in this boat over the last two years. She is now ready for coding and charter use, or would make an excellent, well-equipped private day boat.
Unfortunately due to health reasons, the current owner is no longer possible to continue with the project.
