Owner’s Comments:- I’ve owned this superb boat from new and maintained her regardless of cost. Recent work has included a major overhaul of the port side engine that included a new cylinder head and a total replacement of the starboard engine in December 2006, which still has the benefit of the remainder of the 5-year manufacturer’s warrantee. Since that time she has barely done 30 hours. Bills for £35k and relevant paperwork are available for the engine work.
She has a new tonneau cover for the flybridge, new seating on the flybridge and cockpit, and recent re-upholstery of the saloon. She also has a bimini top for the flybridge and full side canopies to provide a huge extra space, not that she needs it, for entertaining when the weather is being unkind.
One of the beauties of Dream Concept is that she belies her age being literally the first out of the mould of a superb modern, but not over-the-top design that is still in production today so looks so much more modern than her mass-produced contemporaries.
She presents beautifully and is ready for the remainder of the season having been recently anti-fouled and ready for the water.
Brokers comments:- This excellent John Bennett design is a stylish boat, equipped with everything you could dream. The most impressive feature of this vessel is its spacious flybridge that can be enjoyed in most weathers.
Other striking features are:
Contemporary design represents a unique balance between style, seaworthiness and practical design.
Spacious flybridge with seating for upto 8 people.
Ergonomic Helm Consoles that provide commanding views and fitted with an extensive array of engine monitoring and navigational equipment.
Remarkable accommodation comprising of spacious cabin with re-upholstered seatings. Curved bulkheads are used throughout to maximise available space.
This vessel is a must view to appreciate the size and layout offered.
