OWNERS COMMENTS:
Since 1994 CLIO is known to have had four owners prior to her current owners who bought her nearly five years ago.
During their ownership she has had very light leisure use and has been stored under cover during winter months.
She is being sold as the owners have decided to purchase a larger vessel.
“CLIO is a much admired classic Nelson motor cruiser which has been cherished and only lightly used. She is equally at home on rivers and coastal waters. We have enjoyed owning her and will be very sad to see her sold as she has given us much pleasure over the last few years.”
