Description

The Moody 42CC is a well-built and spacious centre cockpit family cruiser with a magnificent owner's cabin aft. 'Halestorm' is very well specified and features many upgrades including a generator, two inverters, recent upholstery and mattresses, recent floorboards, uprated alternator and a full suite of Garmin instrumentation. This excellently presented example has been maintained and upgraded as required by her current (second) owner. A rare opportunity to buy a quality offshore cruiser and early viewing is recommended.
