Broom 37' Continental

This classic design Broom Continental 37 incorporates the spacious interior with six berth capacity. This craft comes with a comprehensive inventory and is ideal for a combination of inland waterway and coastal cruising with fine sea-keeping performance. The current owner has owned the boat for around 5 years and during that time has been constantly adding to the inventory and adding to the equipment. As you can see from the price - up to £15k less than the same model advertised elsewhere - the owner has been realistic, and this is a real bargain for someone.
