WELCOME TO OUR LISTING.THIS IS FOR A 70FT TRADITINAL NARROWBOAT NAMED MAXIMUS.THE OWNER OF MAXIMUS OVER THE LAST 2-3 YEARS HAS BEEN VERY ILL AND CAN NO LONGER KEEP HER HENCE WHY SHE IS NOW UP FORSALE.3 YEARS AGO HERE AT STARLINE BOATS WE HAD MAXIMUS CRANED OUT OF THE WATER WHERE IT UNDER WENT A FULL SHOT BLAST TO HULL AND CABIN. THE HULL OF THE BOAT WAS IN VERY VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH SOME VERY MINOR PITS IN WHICH WE SPOT WELDED TO FILL THE PITS AND THEN IN THE SPACE OF 2-3 YEARS WHILE ON HARD STANDING HAD UPTO 8 COATS OF 2PK BLACK.THE CABIN WAS TAKEN DOWN TO WHITE METAL WITH THE SHOT BLASTER AND THEN COATED IN A PRIMER AND THEN AN UNDERCOAT AND WITH INT THE LAST 6 MONTHS HAS HAD ANOTHER 2 COATS OF UNDERCOAT TO PROTECT AGAINST THE BAD WEATHER THROWN AT US.WE HAVE SOME PAPERWORK BUT VERY LITTLE, INCLUDING IN THE PAPERWORK IS A SALES RECEIPT FROM ABNB BACK IN 2004 WHERE THE CURRENT OWNER HAD PURCHACED THE BOAT FROM.THE BOAT IS FITTED WITH ALL ESENTIALS TO USE SOON AS EITHER AS A HOLIDAY BOAT OR LIVE ABOARD.THROUGHOUT THE BOAT IS ALL FIXED HARD WOOD FURNISHER, WHICH WILL NEED MINOR ATTENTION/CLEAN. I BELEIVE THAT THE NARROWBOAT IS A 6-7 BERTH WITH LOTS OF STORAGE.FANTASTIC HULL BUILD BY WILSON AND TYLER. BEAUTIFUL DOUBLE CURVED BOW. DEEP DRAUGHTED STERN WITH REAR RESESED PANALS.THE NARROWBOAT IS FULLY USABLE AND RUNNING.ESTIMATED AGE GOING OFF PAPERWORK ECT TO BE AROUND 18-20 YRS YOUNGWILL REQUIRE A BOAT SAFTY AS THIS I BELEIVE HAS EXPIRED. CABIN WILL NEED TO BE PAINTED AS WE HAVE LEFT THIS A BLANK CANVAS FOR NEW OWNERS.MAXIMUS IS POWERED BY 4 CYLIDER GARDNER LW WHICH IS TO THIS DAY STILL WORTH A FAIR FEW POUNDS AS THESE ENGINES ARE BECOMING RARE. THIS ENGINE STARTS UP AND RUNS AS IT SHOULD AND SOUNDS AMAZING.THENARROWBOAT WILL REQUIRE SOME WORK BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE AS STATED ABOVE.
