53ft Traditional Narrow Boat, 1992 Prestigious Pickwell & Arnold, Beautiful Boat

Prestigious boat built by Pickwell and Arnold who some regard as the best ever in the boat building industry :) 1992 all steel narrow boat53ft traditional style hull Full boat certificate until 14th July 2022, without a single advisory :) Beautifully kitted out, traditional with some modern twists in keeping with the traditional looks.Lifted out and the Hull blackened just over a year ago.Brand new top spec Leisure batteries fitted this month.Beautiful interior - danish Ercol sofa worth £1500.Sold fully furnished :)Webasto diesel fired central heating.Beautiful Log burner on board.12v igloo fridge.12v lighting and sockets.12v Avex tv and dvd. All the fixtures and fittings and appliances are top spec as you can see above in the list, I really have kept him as traditional as possible but with tasteful modern and great spec appliances. Recently fitted custom stainless t-pegs welded to the middle of the roof, mooring bouys fitted to the correct length, so they can be thrown either side when mooring making it quicker and offering greater protection :) Super reliable Leyland diesel engine. I even have spare belts, gaskets, filters and many more brand spare engine parts all stored on Dandy ready to go if ever needed or if parts ever became hard to get :) the spares alone are worth over £1000 and yes I am really that anal lol. 500L diesel tank and 1000L water tank that has recently been cleaned out.

Naturally ballast hull - this is the much more expensive style and makes the boat better balanced in the water and a better cruise, it also ensures there is no need to ballast the boat with ugly concrete blocks in the hull, like most of new cheaper boats have. Cassette Toilet - I just find this so much more hygienic and definitely more economical.lovely shower room. Currently Moored on the stunning Barton Grange Marina, Preston, Pr3 0bt. I purchased the boat when my farther had a stroke 2 years ago, because he loved fishing and we could stay on the boat and fish on the canal from the boat. However his health has deteriorated and that is no longer an option, so a reluctant sale.

I have put my heart and soul into the boat and added many little period correct items in the interior to retain that traditional look. This is a 26 year old very prestigious boat built my many regard as the best boat builders there was.I would say the interior is stunning and recently I have painted the outside in key areas to really tidy up the boat and although the exterior is not perfect he looks damned tidy and presentable :)roof painted, top rails painted, bottom sill painted and highlights added. A sensible offer may be considered as I would love to use the funds towards spending more time with my farther over the coming months so a quick sale is preferred.
