60 x 10 off-grid liveaboard widebeam *REDUCED*

Description

60 x 10 Widebeam, excellently-equipped off-grid canal boat.

Built in 2004, with an open-plan kitchen & living room, large bathroom, and significant storage throughout.

The current owner lived aboard for almost 10 years, and made several upgrades to provide a comfortable and convenient lifestyle.
As a result, this is a fine example of a canalboat with many off-grid features, and minimal reliance on CRT facilities.
