This very successful cruiser originated in 1968 as the Birchwood 25 Interceptor. This open plan 4 berth hard top cruiser was very popular with over 1500 built. Rather like the 22ft models, the early versions had a short hardtop and petrol driven outdrive engine installations.

The later versions featured a longer hardtop and others were available with a shaft drive on the tunnel plus overdrive. Most craft were open plan 4 berths but later models, called the Executive featured a separate forward cabin, hot water and shower.

Broker's Comments

These boat details are subject to contract.
This cruiser comes from the well-known stable of 'Birchwood Boats'. Whilst she needs a bit of a tidy and some TLC she currently on hard standing and for a bit of time invested she should be a nice little cruiser. River and Coastal cruising are most certainly options and from kent the Medway, Thames and East coast areas would be within range.
