A beautiful modernised 40ft 2+1 berth narrowboat with steel hull and GRP top. Built by Dartline (Bunbury) Ltd in 1976. This boat has been extensively renovated during 2012 to 2015 to a high standard using modern materials. The boat plate and engine bilge have been treated and painted with International Danboline. All bulkheads have been replaced. The laminate flooring covers heatproof insulation. The boat has been completely rewired using RIPCA marine wiring with LED lighting in the ceiling, under the gunwhales and in the skirting that hides the water and radiator pipes. New double radiators serviced by 22mm pipes and heated by an ALDE Comfort 2920 (serviced in 2014). The boat has been lined throughout with insulated UPVC cladding and all windows have been replaced with double glazed units. The boat is very clean, warm and cosy. Plenty of storage under the cross-bed (can fold into a day bed if required) and seating as well as a clothes cupboard, kitchen units and space for fridge. Please refer to pictures for more detail. There is a safety certificate until February 2019. I can supply details of all works including marine survey in 2012, sand blasting, hull plating, 2-pack antifouling and blacking in 2012 and, the complete engine and gearbox overhaul in 2015. At the present time the boat is moored at Great Haywood Marina. Pictures: 1) Moored up on the Ashby 07 May 2017. Notice the LED headlights, Daytime running lights and solar LED lights running down both sides of the hand rails. Looks fantastic at night. 2) Moored up at Harefield with new Wilson's made back cover in 2015. 3) Completion of lounge and galley in 2014. 4) Just Chillin!
