This is a unique opportunity to buy an extremely rare (thought to be the only one surviving) Johnson & Jago runabout boat. Built in 1946 in Leigh-on-Sea and restored 2017-2024.
Originally bought to be a Thames runabout the current owner decided that she needed to be brought back to her former glory and made suitable and more usable. If you want to be part of the classic boat movement at a relatively low entry point then Cipressi could be the right boat for you, an ideal and very sweet little craft, ideal for summer days on the river, either exploring with a picnic basket in hand or a perfect traditional ride to the many watering holes along the Thames reaches. Her shallow draft allows for ease of mooring and seats 5 easily for those perfect family day out.
A new original engine was commissioned, built and installed, with all hull work completed in the meantime. Bilges freshly painted, hull varnished, anti-fouled, new Windscreen, navigation lights, internal lights and USB sockets sympathetically fitted to make this an extremely reliable and useable boat. She has a fresh Boat Safety Scheme Certificate valid until 2028 so meets with all requirements for the inland waterways and is ready to sail away.
If you are intrested in Cipressi she is offered for sale to a good home and viewings are by appointment only near Chertsey in Surrey
