20' Springer Waterbug

20' Springer Waterbug narrowboat 'Santz'- perfect for a single person live aboard (as I have done), or a small weekender boat. Over six foot headroom. Easy to maneuver and moor anywhere in London including central London (zone 1-2) where space is very limited. Built in 1987, electric start Yamaha 9.9hp petrol outboard. Outboard serviced February 2017 including all gaskets cleaned/replaced.

New gear arm fitted in autumn 2017. Retro fitted tiller steering makes moving and turning very easy. Full hull survey completed in February 2017 and anodes shown to be in excellent condition. Blacking is in good condition but should be redone in the next 6 months to a year. Double berth bed that folds into two smalls sofas with a desk space at the front and bookshelves.

Running water with a Rinnai water heater. Water tank is large enough to last for over a month for single person live aboard use. Water heater needs a service. Double hob, grill, oven and sink in the galley space. 3 calor gas bottles included with sale.

Thetford portapotti toilet and shower installed in a separate room. Just needs shower tray to make it a full wet room. Boatman stove had glass and rope replaced in January 2018. Two leisure batteries charge from the engine or from the solar panel on roof. Can be hooked onto shore power.

Included will be a small easy to use petrol generator, windlass, ropes, mooring pins, petrol canister, tools for replacing the LPG canisters, and water hose. BSS until 2021, Canal and River Licence until July 2018. Both available to view on request. I currently have RCR silver coverage which, if possible could be transferred to the new owner as the year is paid for. Cost of running and maintaining are incredibly low due to outboard engine and small size.

She's been a great first boat! Currently located in East London around Mile End. I've very much enjoyed living aboard Santz, but am planning on travelling Europe and so selling her on.
