38ft steel ‘offshore’ solidly built by Avon Brunel engineering. The hull has been protected with a 2 pack primer coat and professionally painted with 3 coats of 2 pack top coats. The inside hull has been epoxy tar protected for long term freedom from rusting. Many steel boats have been ‘home built’ and skimped on rust prevention thus causing a bad reputation for steel boats rusting away after a number of years. This one is a fine example of how a steel boat should be built and finished, and thus has many years of maintenance free.
