I was back in Brundall on the South Norfolk Broads today carrying out a Pre-purchase Survey on this Jack Powles 39 River Cruiser. Norfolk Yacht Agency were the acting Yacht Brokers. Norfolk Yacht Agency’s Service Station is very busy this time of year. Thier Broadland Boat Centre offers a 'one stop shop' for the maintenance and refurbishment of motor cruisers. They have a good staff of experienced professionals, and there service station is equipped with a 12 ton gantry hoist, joinery machine shop upstairs and and engineering workshop on ground level. The centre offers quality engineers who carry out all types of work from routine maintenance to full renovation and fit-out projects.
This was a boat that I remember from years ago and was unusual. Refitted about six years ago by HMS Marine in Brundall. It is now an ideal liveaboard with one big forward cabin that contains a large double berth. The re-fit has been done to a very good standard and all the space has been utilised to it's maximum potential providing comfort and ease of use.
Jack Powles History: In the 70s and early 80s, Jack Powles of Wroxham was one of the country's major powerboat builders, alongside Brooms. They were building boats designed by Bernard Olesinski who also designed for Fairlines and Princess Cruisers. ( like the Powles 36, 38, 41,Super 38 Seagoing Motor Cruisers), but in the early 1990s they became JPC Ltd and no longer actively built boats. Many of the inland waterways Powles fleet have dispersed to other waterways, but a few still remain on the Broads.
