Proper flushing thetford cassette toilet Huge shower, can fit two people, has new waste pumpRecent leisure and starter batteriesFront deck drains sideways so no water enters the hull of the boat at allProp shaft stern gland needs very little greasing and shows no wear - I haven't ever seen water come through the prop tube at all! Engine is raw feed cooledShower and hot water taps run off an engine warmed calorifier tank - great for heating the boat a bit and drying clothes on, like an airing cupboardLED lighting all round, super efficient stuff - I've left the boat lights on for weeks and it barely affected battery voltageLots of shelving and hidden storageRecently professionally re-covered sofa and cushionsMorso squirrel multi-fuel stoveGas cooker and ovenShoreline power connection and fuse box - never needed it but it's thereRear lockers are for storing gas bottlesFull engine control panel with rev counter, oil pressure, water temperature, voltage, etc. The hull survey was completed around 24 months ago and shows no work needed and all metal showed no need for future work - the boat then had all new anodes and blacking completedBSS was done around the same time tooDon't be fobbed off by sellers who say their boat doesn't need a survey - if their boat was as good as they say it is under the waterline, they'd have a survey to prove it!
To avoid licence cloning I've not displayed the boat index number in the photos - it will obviously be given to the new ownerComes with windlass and keys for navigating the canalThere is a catch cover for the front deck, if wantedSpare toilet casette and mains hook upLots of space under the back deck for storage, around the engine bayThis boat was originally built for travelling up and down the River Trent, notorious for strong currents, so it was fitted with a BMC 2.5, so the boat can really move if you want it to. Also, comes with red and green port and starboard lights, white navigation lights and other useful equipment. Probably will never be used but useful to have if ever you needed. I can deliver on any part of the canal network for a reasonable fee, or arrange crane and lorry delivery. Please send me your postcode for a price.
