Broker's Comments

The Snappie 890 being the bigger certainly offers spacious accommodation. The are well built boat and said to have good sea-keeping attributes. This one could use a little TLC outside but appears tidy inside. She has had some recent little upgrades over the last few years such as Webasto heating.
