Description
OP HOOP VAN ZEGEN. A beautiful liveaboard Dutch Ijsselaak. 50' x 11'9" with 60hp diesel Perkins engine. Purchased in the Netherlands, with a considerable amount of money spent renovating her (including raising the foredeck to create a sizeable bedroom) in order to pass UK safety standards (paperwork to support each item). She now has a BSC to Nov 2011, is licenced to Apr 2009 and comes with a full survey (completed April 2008). Layout from stern: step down into the new kitchen with compact Candy washing machine, Spinflo oven and Belling hob. New bathroom to your left with well-pressured roomy shower, basin and macerator toilet (215L holding tank). Walk through the kitchen into the spacious living room with new Dutch diesel drip feed stove (extremely economical and heats the whole boat with ease). Through the living room is the bedroom with permanent double bed with storage beneath, plus extra storage in the bow. Minimum head height of 5'10" is in the bedroom. The hot water is supplied by a 72L calorifier and immersion heater. Lighting is a mix of 12V and 240V. The barge is currently connected to an onshore electric hook-up but two new 270amp batteries were fitted in Oct 2007 and she comes with a brand new LPG 3kva generator and 1800W inverter, so is kitted out for cruising. She is fully insulated with a bone-dry bilge. The hull was reblacked in June 2007 and had a new bottom plate in 2005. We currently liveaboard and estimate that Hoop is now about 95% complete. New owners would probably want to install proper lighting in the bathroom and bedroom, and probably a new floor in the bedroom as well, but other than that it's just a question of decorating her to your taste. Perfect for someone who wants to be able to live in comfort whilst 'tinkering' and making her their own. There's also plenty of deck space - enough for a table and chairs - and there's even a parasol for hot summer days! Hoop is currently moored in Ely, about 12 miles north of Cambridge, and the mooring owner has indicated that he is willing to chat to new owners about continuing the current arrangement. Please call or email with any queries and to arrange to view. The recent survey placed Hoop's value at 92,000 GBP so she is priced at 88,700 GBP for a quick sale.
