For sale

 

£18,000 ono

 

Mk 1 Bounty Buccaneer 44

 

 

Originally built in 1964 as a holiday hire boat the Goose is an ideal boat for holidays but also as a live-aboard.

 

Purchased by us in 2005, we have completely gutted her, replacing the engine, added central heating, a new galley, shower room and cabin. But there are still a few minor jobs to be completed: she needs painting outside and some GRP work is required on the front deck. The hull is sound.

 

All side and rear windows have been taken out and resealed. Some trims still to be finished. Both front windows have cracked due to being on a tidal mooring. They do not leak as they are laminated.

 

This is a light, bright boat with 12 volt lighting to all rooms.

 

There is mains power to numerous power points when on shore line. FAF 25 Battery charger, charges up to 3 banks of batteries.

 

Engine

 

Purchased new - Sole Engine installed in 2013. It has only completed about 100 miles.

 

There is a problem with the drive at the moment, possibly caused by the prop working loose. The Woodruff key may be missing but due to health reasons I have been unable to investigate further.

 

(If time permits this will be done in the near future).

 

Heating/hot water system

 

Alde compact boiler system which supplies heating via 3 radiators in the saloon, shower room and cabin. It supplies the hot water for the galley and shower room.

 

Shower room

 

Fitted with Leesan 12 volt pump out toilet, home style pan, with tank, but not all the fittings, as we use her on tidal water, and at present we can pump over the side.

Large mirror with concealed lighting.

She is currently on a rise and fall mooring in Sutton Wharf, Rochford, Essex.

It would be up to Nigal the Manager as to whether you can take over the Mooring, but can't see any reason why not.

Suttons Wharf is a working boat yard, always something going on, full of helpful people, who know what there talking about, and will make you feel at home.

1 mile to both Southend Airport, and station, which is on the Southend to Liverpool line, about 1 hour to London.
Cheap moorings, for the Goose is £1500, liveaboard will be more, but not that much more.

I will take some new pictures on Tuesday.

Yeah need a gander at the old goose

[Hylander]

I looked on Craig's site but still cannot find her.   What is her correct name.   Plenty of Goose names but not a Bounty.

Has she ever been on the broads?

[Tugarchie]

She was called Nomad when we got her, but not sure if that's her original name.
I don't know if she has ever been on the Broard's We got her from Iver in Bucks, and she was on the River Lee before that.

I will be taking some picture of her on Sunday, got to clear out a lot of stuff, as we have been living on her, we have a lot of boxes and bags to go to Holland next week, and the boat is a mess due to this.

Here are some photos of the inside of the Goose, taken last week, as you can see there is some work still to be done, as I said in the main part of this topic, It is untidy because we are in the process of moving our personnal stuff from the Goose to the dutch barge
