Nicky 420 ready for relaxed boating funAnyone looking for a compact polyester motorboat for a day on the water will find this Nicky 420 an accessible and nicely equipped option.

Her V-bottom contributes to a smooth ride and a stable feel on board—exactly what many water sports enthusiasts are looking for when they want to buy a small motorboat for relaxed leisure cruising.

This Nicky is fitted with an internal steering wheel setup, making her a bit more sheltered and comfortable than an open steering console. Practical extras have also been considered. For example, there is a swim ladder for a refreshing dip or to get back on board easily. Fenders and lines are included, as well as an anchor with chain and line, which is stated to be new. For those who like to head out on the water spontaneously, it’s also convenient that she is offered with a road trailer without registration. This makes transport and storage much easier, especially if you want to take her to a different cruising area from time to time.
