BOAT INTERIOR: wardrobe; solid fuel stove; dining room with extra storage under seats for keeping food and drinks cool beneath the waterline (dining room converts to 2 single beds or a double bed); toilet-shower room; wardrobe; 4 bunk beds with storage under lower beds (alternatively, bunk platforms could be used as an additional large storage area - or easily removed to create a new office space for digital nomads); wardrobe; double bed; toilet-shower room; front lounge with 2 sofa beds (or easily switch this lounge to 4 bunk beds to achieve a total of 12 berths); wardrobe.
BOW OUTSIDE: large open bow with benches on both sides for passengers to enjoy sociable cruising; 1 external bow locker houses the anchor.
EXTENDED CRUISING AND LIVEABOARD BENEFITS:
Enjoy the views while you cruise with plentiful large windows, glazed hardwood and glass double doors at bow and stern, plus 2 steel side hatches.
Keep warm with the Sprayfoam insulation, Eberspacher D4 Hydronic diesel central heating throughout, and solid fuel stove (with safety features of wraparound heat guard, marine hearth, and guard rail to stop spillages from whatever you are cooking on the stove top).
Cook with convenience with 2 facilities: the solid fuel stove top and a 4-ring gas oven with grill, supplied by 19kg propane gas bottle in stern locker.
Enjoy plentiful warm water powered both by the calorifier (engine) and Eberspacher.

PHOTOS: Please understand that I have just had major surgery (which is why I am selling this lovely boat) and now recovering. This is hampering me from completing the photography. I will add brand new internal and external photos as soon as possible. In the meantime, I have uploaded all that I have available right now (including some older photos). I hope this helps. You are welcome to view the boat from now on. Thank you for your understanding.
