Hobo is a very special boat who has undergone a full renovation. She was stripped down to a bare fibreglass hull and over the last several years has been professionally fitted out.

She is now in immaculate condition and is well equipped with a number of additional extras.

All of her brand new features definitely makes her stand out!

The Colvic Northerner is a very popular house boat along this stretch of the coast

She has been fitted out in a way that no wiring is visible and any additional instrumentation or power requirements can be fitted using existing accessible routes.

All of her external woodwork has been replaced with Iroko wood and it has all been extensively oiled.

She has plenty of comfortable seating with burgundy interior cushions witch is perfect for big families to chill out or couples that love to entertain along with her kitchen with sink, gas hob and stowage.

The engine has been converted to keel cooling for “high and dry” sailing with a raw water cooled heat exchanger fed by an electric pump.

Hobo undergone a full professional survey in July 2025
