2007 Interboat 17

The Interboat 17 is a great choice for both new and experienced boaters. With its Category C hull, it’s equally at home on inland waterways like the Thames or in coastal estuaries such as Chichester Harbour or the River Dart. It’s well suited to relaxed cruising as a couple or with family, and the deep keel and shaft drive give you a predictable, stable ride for a boat of this size."Tread Softly" has spent the last few years on the River Dart and has had three previous owners, with each sale handled by us at Val Wyatt. With its unmistakable classic style and low-maintenance hull colour, it’s an easy boat to live with and a nice option for anyone looking for maximum enjoyment with minimal fuss.Category C Hull - CE rated to 8 personsRecent work includes:Cockpit teak cleanedEngine service completed in November 2025 LayoutThe bow features an anchor locker set into the foredeck and a central mounted cleat, aft of this are the side decks with a non slip finish.The cockpit features two main seating areas, forward seating for approximately six people with good high backrests and comfortable base cushions.
