Description
 


For sale 66ft Traditional stern narrowboat, just blacked in December with new anodes. Boat safety until oct 2018. Circa 1970s build, she has recently had her wooden cabin completely renovated and a professional, one piece, rubber roofing membrane fitted over the roof and cabin sides before cladding in aluminium composite panels in a style resembling the traditional narrowboat tugs historically used on the Birmingham canal navigations. As such the cabin is completely watertight and rustproof as well as being warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer compared to steel topped boats. The lighter cabin makes for a very stable boat that handles well. Recently out for blacking and anodes, she has had a new 1” wear edge seam welded around the base plate and I have a full set of ultrasonic thickness readings for her steelwork showing very little loss over her whole hull. Of course any independent survey would be welcome at the buyers expense. Inside is set up as a live work space with almost 12 ft of studio space at the bow followed by a fixed double with storage and a spacious living room/galley with fold out dining table, L sofa and plenty of storage/shelving. Usb and 12v sockets throughout with 240v sockets via a 600w inverter. Heating by Rayburn with radiator which heats the whole length of the boat evenly and is surprisingly efficient. Full size cooker, efficient shoreline type fridge and Lpg water heater in the kitchen with oak units and side hatch. Newly tiled shower with whale gulper pump, recent electric flush thetford toilet with spare cassette. Solid oak flooring and 6ft headroom throughout. The Perkins 3 cylinder engine is quiet and fuel efficient with recent impeller, alternator belt and oil/filter. 250w solar panel and new leisure/starter batteries fitted in December. Small selection of ropes, windlass, anchor etc. included. A lovely boat with bags of character and plenty of space, ready to live on right now. please, no time wasters. feel free to call me on 07704350024 for info or viewings. Thanks for looking!
