40ft Narrowboat Liveaboard

**reduced price** all sensible offers considered. For sale, a beautifully finished 40ft traditional stern narrowboat ‘Wild Oats’ built in 1974 by Charlie Fox. There as been a recent (2015) refurbishment bringing ‘Wild Oats’ up to date with top quality specification and appliances, which includes an Aldi 3020 central heating system with aluminium fin radiators throughout the length of the boat. At the front is the gas locker, larger enough for 2x 12kg gas bottles or 1x 19kg bottle. Following this sits a large cratch area featuring benches and cratch cover.

Underneath this sits a large steel watertank. The entrance at the front takes you into the main saloon and galley area. There is a multi fuel stove, 2x leather recliners and footstools, an Indesit 4 hob, oven and grill, stainless steel sink and space for under counter fridge/freezer. Further on, off a corridor is a compact bathroom with Thetford cassette toilet, sink and shower. Beyond that is the bedroom with a 4ft bed and built in wardrobe with Aldi 3020 boiler underneath.

At the stern of the boat is the engine room. The engine is a BMC 1.5 diesel engine with PRM hydraulic gearbox. Above this sits a fully plumbed in Zanussi 3.5kg washing machine. There are 2x 12v sockets at the front of the boat in the saloon and 1 at the back in the driving position and 240v sockets in all areas. 12v lighting runs throughout the boat.

This boat would make an ideal liveaboard for 1 or 2 people, continuous cruising or in a marina, but is equally suited as a holiday boat. This boat has a new full BSS certificate.
