CANAL BOAT, 27 FOOT.CENTRE COCKPIT CRUISER SOLD AS PROJECT
Estimated price for orientation: 1 800 $
Category: Narrowboats or Canalboats
Class:
Description
The boat is called Cushty and comes with a lovely mooring on the Lancaster canal near the town of Garstang. The boat is powered by a 1.5 BMC inboard marine engine that runs well on red diesel and is very good on fuel. Cushty has a current boat safety certificate that expires 09/12/2017. The boat will sleep four comfortably, it has a gas cooker and heater, kitchen sink and toilet room sink, a large double bed in one room and a diner area in the other that can be converted into a smaller bed for guests. The boat has plenty of storage and the mooring comes with a shed for extra storage. There is a solar panel connected to a two battery bank that powers the 12v lights as well as a 240v inverter for larger appliances like laptops. there is also a spare bosch starter battery that I keep charged just incase I drain the main batteries with heavy use (power tools usually).Cushty could do with a bit of refurbishment hence the "project". She needs a new stern gland before she can sail anywhere, I have had a local quotes between £100 and £150 plus the cost of lifting her out of the water which is less than £200. While she's out of the water she could do with the hull being pressure washed and antifouled. Inside a new water pump for the taps is required as the old one got wet when the stern gland went, these are fairly cheap on ebay. I made the mistake of removing and washing the cushion covers in the bedroom before selling, needless to say it didn't go well; I shrank them and now new ones will be needed (see photo). Cushty is a lovely boat that needs a little work to bring her back to full glory. It is a project boat and cannot be sailed until the stern gland is fixed! but she is in the water and doesn't need too much to put her right.PHONE FOR VIEWING 07481922598 PAUL - THANKS FOR LOOKING.
