Welcome to Tom Pudding, a boat that may be modest in size and price, but is truly big in heart. This 40ft cruiser stern from 1983 offers a warm and inviting space, thoughtfully designed for both leisure cruising and comfortable living. Externally, Tom Pudding presents well, but it’s the interior where this vessel really shines. Benefiting from a reverse layout, the boat is in very good condition inside, making it a delightful retreat on the water.
Powered by the ever-reliable BMC 1.5 engine, Tom Pudding has been thoughtfully upgraded for modern living. The recent addition of two large solar panels, approximately 300W each, along with a Victron MPPT controller and a Victron 1.6Kw Multiplus Inverter Charger, ensures that you’re well-equipped for off-grid adventures. The Boatman solid fuel stove adds a cosy touch, perfect for those cooler evenings on the water. With two brand-new domestic batteries and a new BSS certificate included in the sale, this boat is ready to go, whether you’re planning a leisurely cruise or a more permanent residence.
Step inside to discover a well-appointed kitchen that meets all your culinary needs. Featuring a stainless-steel sink/drainer with a mixer tap, a free-standing 4-burner gas cooker with an oven and grill, and a 230V fridge, the kitchen is both functional and stylish. A nearly new Morco instant hot water boiler ensures you’ll always have hot water on demand. With plenty of worktops, cupboards, and drawers, storage won’t be an issue, making it easy to keep everything you need within arm’s reach.
The living area offers a comfortable and versatile space to relax. A cosy sofa easily converts into a modest sofa bed if needed, making it perfect for accommodating guests. The Boatman solid fuel stove keeps the space warm and inviting, while additional storage options help maintain a tidy living environment. The bedroom is a tranquil retreat, featuring a fixed full-size double bed with ample storage underneath. Stable doors lead out onto the cratch-covered well deck, providing a pleasant outdoor area with seating, ideal for enjoying a peaceful morning coffee or an evening under the stars.
The bathroom is designed with practicality and comfort in mind. A full-size corner shower offers a refreshing start to your day, while the Thetford cassette toilet and wash basin over a vanity unit provide all the essentials. Ample storage throughout ensures that everything has its place, making life aboard Tom Pudding as convenient as it is comfortable.
Tom Pudding is more than just a boat; it’s a cosy, floating home ready to welcome its next owner. Whether you’re looking for a leisurely escape on the water or a cost-effective liveaboard solution, this charming vessel offers everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable life afloat.
