PHILOSOPHE

Classic Dutch Luxemotor in excellent condition and converted to retain the appearance of a cargo barge with opening skylights in a steel roof below most of the canvas cover, and some portholes. The interior conversion in the former cargo hold is neat and simple, and there is a lot of unused storage and workshop space. Thus the boat can be lived aboard and cruised immediately but offers scope for additional accommodation.
