The Colvic Watson 34 needs no introduction and remains a popular motorsailor with huge amounts of space onboard across three cabins, an enormous and bright wheelhouse and spacious galley and dinette seating down below. This particular boat is priced to sell and has been regularly maintained but does require some external updates. The Mermaid JCB 85hp engine has been serviced annually and the boat was last antifouled in 2024. There is an insurance survey report available from 2023. With masses of potential as a long term liveaboard, the sheer volume of these boats is incredible for a 34ft boat.
