28" Springer Narrowboat Project, Low Price To Sell.

For sale: my old home very short version. Engine needs work, won't start after wet fuel. It's livable but needs updating and blacking. Over plated about 6 years ago...(photo links lower down) selling as a project. I have a new boat which is taking all my time and money so I'm selling this so I don't have to tow it around single handed.

Relisted as previous buyer did not get back in touch to pay/collect.Currently near tottenham hale on the lea.long version:1970 28 foot springer with raised kitchen and shower section. I'll be as honest as I can possably be but I am selling it as a project as it has things that need sorting out. It was my first boat and although I love her I needed more space.pros: has shower, gas boiler, cooker , 4 ring hob, practically new 250 litre water tank, new reclaimed vintage mahogany rosewood work surfaces and sink, wood burner stove, usb charge point, wiring for a solar system but no panel or battery, auto bilge pump, 12v fridge and BSS till 2020 obligatory ropes windlass and CRT key included.I've been living on her since September and it was great! Insulation is good and its nice to drive. If you can start the engine it's ready to live on.cons: mainly engine.

It got water in the fuel and hasn't been loved the way it should. Its a kingfisher kd14 diesel with water cooling. Someone came out and bled the fuel system to get it started but it was running with white smoke after that. After a few days it started stalling at low revs and now won't start.could be simple,could be expensive. I don't know.

New water pump needed at some point as there is a slow leak when the cooling system is open to the river and the starter is a bit smokey. It has a box of spare parts with it that I never got round to looking at properly.Needs a solar panel and at least 2 leisure batteriesThe wood needs either replacing or epoxying and filling in a few placesa couple of windows have cracks but i have replacement glass for the round oneslast blacked when it was over plated about 6 years ago so needs doing again soon! New plywood on rear deck would be nice.conclusion... its a project boat. Sold as is due to engine woes. Great little first floaty home if you know how to fix engine or can pay someone to do it.

I was going to just strap an outboard on it to get moving but never got round to it.It will need towing or fixing in 2 weeks if you are on CC licence, obviouslyAs ever usual classifieds board rules apply. Bid to buy not to view and if you have any questions message me. *to be picked up and transferred within 7 days of auction end*X Beth. Over plate information..I had a word with the previous owner and I can confirm it HAS had overplating done about 6 years ago ... links to pictures below. (as well as this half the swim was also plated but no pictures). https://drive.google.com/open?
