English
The Aquador 23WA is a "big boat in small shoes" - in that she has as standard features you would find as an extra in a boat twice her size: with the manoeuverability you expect of a day boat (and then some, thanks to the standard bowthruster) but the comfort (thanks to her cabin and cockpit heating), superlative sea-keeping (thanks to her deep, V shaped hull) and safety characteristics (with high walk-around deck sides for safe movement underway) of a 40 footer, Ruby Too scores in every department. Add in the careful way her two owners have looked after their 'pride and joy' , her low engine hours (c 200) and her immaculate condition and you have an excellent touring and multipurpose boat 'cocked and loaded' for blowing away those rainy day blues this Summer.
Make sure you see my walkthrough video for further information and contact me to arrange a viewing down here in beautiful, scenic Christchurch.
Broker comments
Built in 2010, Ruby Too was used by its UK importer/dealer as an exhibition demo boat until she splashed in 2013. The current owner bought her in 2021 with just under 200 hours on the clock. He has used her for exactly what she was designed for: day boating around Christchurch, Poole, Bournemouth and the Isle of Wight.. Kept ashore every Winter, during the Spring and Summer she can be found at the fresh water Willow Way Marina in Christchurch - benefiting from a natural, fresh water flush through every time she is used.
