The Leisure 23SL is a small family cruiser with surprisingly spacious accommodation and very good headroom. 'Disco Imp' is the twin keel version, ideal for the East Coast rivers. She is fitted with a 5hp Mercury outboard engine but also a Volvo inboard petrol engine which needs some attention or even changing if an inboard engine is preferred.
