I’ve been working on this boat for a good few years and made a lovely living space out of it. It was incredibly dated when I bought it nearly 7 years ago. Sadly, I cannot finish this project but I am so close. The “storage” room at the front is the only part of the boat I haven’t touched, the rest is completely refurbished. I had it out of the water for 4 months and completely redid the hull. I had it surveyed then as well. I had every intention of taking her across the channel into the Dutch canals but life changed and here we are.

Now, the engine… It’s a long story that I won’t go into here but to sum it up, it’s not working and will require a bit of work to get it running. Nothing to major but I just do not have the time (to do it myself) or the money to pay for it to be done). I have so many spare parts for it from the same engine i stripped a few years ago incase they are needed. I don’t think they needed are but good to have them. Please call me if your mechanically savvy and I an go into more detail. For those interested in the boat who don’t know about such things I am happy to talk with anyone you may know and give them the breakdown of where it’s at.

With a working engine and a few niggles sorted here and there this boat is easily worth £30,000. Please call me anytime if you’re interested in finding out more or t book a viewing.
