Interior looks OK but the hull is riddled with osmosis.

Guessing.that and the nackered out drive. The layup is good on all princess boats. as John says, a lot of boat for not much money - I’m not keen on this model aesthetically - the Project and Seniors are a much better looking boat. You’d have to be wary of a tired leg but that goes for anything of this age - hire or not.

Would be a fun trip from there, across Ireland to Dublin and by that time you would have found anything that was worrying for the sea passage . Then coastal North to either Bangor or Larne then shortest across to Stranraer then Crinan canal, Caledonian canal and south down the coast to the Humber
