Broker Remarks

If you are a fan of Rustler boats this Rustler 31 is definitely one to view. Russel Ansty built this vessel for himself as an out and out racing boat. A slightly lighter hull, the 6 foot taller twin spreader mast and increased lead ballast encapsulated keel making her a very stiff, seaworthy offshore cruiser/racer of her time. 1975 saw her rebuilt by EM Hughes as a four berth family cruiser with teak interior and SABB 18 hp engine. Recent upgrades include NEW standing and running rigging, engine mounts, upgraded electronic navigation plus more! 2017 Survey with all recommendations completed. She has beautiful lines and is a delight to sail whatever the weather.
