This shiny engine looks like it has just left the factory, a testament to the care and attention it has received.
The engine has been regularly serviced with anodes, seals and plumbing replaced as required in recent years. Shaft seal is with traditional stuffing and has been repacked within the last 4 years.
The two Numax CXV35MF 120 a/h were fitted in 2017 as was the 20w solar panel.
Access to the engine is an engineers dream and achieved by removing the large access panel in the passageway. The cockpit sole can also be removed for additional access or engine removal.

Broker's Comments

This is a stunning example of the centre cockpit Moody 346 which was a very popular cruising yacht, offering extremely spacious and comfortable accommodation below, indeed many owners live on-board for extended periods.

Designed by Bill Dixon and built by Marine Projects, the Moody 346 has a justified reputation for being well built with a high quality internal fit-out.

Performance wise her hull shape gives her good directional stability. Her small ‘mini’ sugar scoop stern allows for easy boarding from a tender

This particular Moody 346 is exceptional in all respects; she would not look out of place on a showroom floor, a testament to the maintenance program adopted by her previous owner, who had owned her from new, and continued by her current owner.

It is fair to say that she is a bit light on modern electronics and she is therefore priced to take this in account.

If you are looking for a quality built cruiser with proven sailing qualities and accommodation that could be suitable for long living on-board, this has to be a consideration.

Furthermore she has a full complement of ships documents, including the important proof of VAT, with receipts for all major works carried out.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

This Moody 346 Centre Cockpit has been personally photographed and viewed by Chris Fuller of Boatshed Cornwall. Click here for contact details.
