Broom 450 port

Aft end, easy access steps either side, Life Raft in decent cradle, large fender stowage, etc

Notice the Stainless up-stand beneath outboard motor. The current owners have a clever TV Sat dish arrangement that allows for good reception even with the Astra 2 cover being weak. and a temporary dish can be afixed..

Not included in sale but easily possible is the point,

this takes a while to set up and tune but if good TV is important to you... then quite possible

port side aft steps, led lights to each step, solid Teak treads, water filler second step, notice the nice wide side decks, with high rails and good grab rail on the inside edge as well.

great fender baskets, and note all new fenders

aloft, open array radar scanner ( with Marpa) , LEFT TO RIGHT...High Power Motorola Cellular Phone antenna, Raystar 125 stand alone GPS system, Blue strobe flashing for intruder alarm, navtex transducer, terrestrial TV ominmax antenna, Simrad GPS transducer, Omni directional WiFi Antenna, Directional WiFi antenna, and VHF/DSC antenna. , ..the aft canopy top is larger than standard which creates a better Sun cover and also makes the side and back panels are vertical giving better space inside..

stb side, This was a very clever idea,, and excellently executed by Broom. a Telescopic passarelle out of the stb side aft. the flap opens and out she comes..

this arrangement does not require the disruption to the aft seating that is usual on this model. Superb Remote Opacmare unit.

port side deck, stainless chains to side gates..

Foredeck, three opening hatches. and as usual with Broom good static ventilation..

Engine removal hatch built in..not that you want to use it, but this boat is likely to last for fifty + Years.. so one day the engines will want to come out.. it is an afternoons work on a Broom..

Anchor arrangement, controls at helm as well ( with electronic chain counter) No deck hatch, less water ingress in bad weather, note Bollard which takes load off windlass at anchor.

stb side deck, waste tank outlet, with rinse point. Stainless windows.. ( on a Broom this means the whole frame construction is in 316 stainless. with polished 316 covers,,, NO Alloy at all.

The forward section of the canopy folds up to a pouch in the Arch, but the nice thing on these boats is that you are always behind a tall glass screen..

side gates also have a moulded step tread on the air intake slots so access aboard from pontoon is possible without steps.. vents on side mouldings are to cabin/ heads below, Broom are one of the few that properly ventilate all areas of the boat. These points ( there are others around the boat,) run tubes up in a swan neck then down to a vent the adjacent cabin.

Co-pilot side, seat for two Three at a push, good chart area, Independent Second radar screen left of shot, which is a very nice extra, the co-pilot can watch and control radar screen in bad visibility leaving the helm to concentrate on everything else..

good useful stowage under seat,

Helm to stb, electric seat, GRP cover moulding to enclose dash, note canopy s/s works, these allow the whole forward section to be folded back to the arch giving and open helm area which is great , and easy, in nice weather..( it also give the helm the ability to open and creep in thick fog in to harbour with his/her "ears/ eyes out in the fresh air" which is something I have done to aid safe navigation.

Nice simple view to electronics, all at reasonable angles, Radar (with Marpa) right, 10 " sunview plotter to left, ( two GPS systems is nice added feature, Autopilot to left of Wheel, probe forward echosounder above, note electronic controls, with DSC/VHF below. Chain counter.

at helm, note Solid Teak decking, (Broom use 8mm solid Teak ) hot air outlet at helm feet, Foot brace rail is nice on a rough day ! side locker

Port side of co-pilot seat, Simrad radar screen, with independent control from main unit.. Screen wash bottle stowage below in locker. handy boat hook in clips.

Waterproof stereo Speaker in arch, the Canopy frame arrangement is very clever, The arch is hinged and will drop aft to drop air draught to 3.4m which will allow her through France..
