Overview

Design and Character

This 2011 Custom Classic Motor Boat is a beautifully styled vessel that blends traditional aesthetics with practical, modern usability. Her classic lines, varnished detailing and elegant proportions give her a strong visual presence, while her overall design remains focused on ease of use and relaxed cruising.

She is very much a boat built to be enjoyed, equally suited to harbour use, coastal cruising or quiet days exploring local waters.

Deck Layout and Social Space

On deck, the layout is open, sociable and easy to move around. The cockpit provides ample seating for guests, making her ideal for day boating and entertaining.

Access is straightforward throughout and the overall feel is one of simplicity and usability, rather than over-complication, exactly what you want from a boat of this style.

Accommodation and Interior

Below deck, the interior is compact but well thought out. The space provides comfortable overnight accommodation with berths for sleeping aboard.

The joinery and finish reflect the classic styling of the boat, creating a warm and inviting environment for short stays aboard.

Performance and Handling

Powered by a reliable Twin Mercruiser 496 magnum 8.1 litre V8 400 hp , she offers strong, steady and predictable performance suited to coastal cruising. Handling is straightforward, making her an accessible and enjoyable boat to operate whether experienced or stepping up into ownership.

Condition and Opportunity

This is a well-presented example of a custom classic motor boat, offering a balance of style, practicality, and ease of ownership.

Boats of this type are increasingly sought after, offering something more distinctive than production alternatives while remaining manageable and enjoyable to use.

Broker's Comments

Something a little bit special ....... A one off custom built gentleman's launch with a V8 purr from the engines that can't help but bring a smile to your face. Miss Lily is a true one of a kind, stunning looks with a high gloss varnished finish, she would be at home in many a movie scene. Built to a high standard by a local boat builder in 2011, she emulates the lines of a Riva Aquamara above the chines, with a splayed bow you might see on a Chris Craft. Equally at home on a lake, river or at sea, her twin V8 engines will see her hit in excess of 50 knots if you dare. Miss Lily's classic lines are well matched with the cream upholstery, with plenty of seating for 8 persons. There is even a sink and heads down below and plenty of space for champagne storage. Currently ashore in St Mawes and looking for her new custodian. Please call our Falmouth office for further information.
