New electric bilge pump Total cost £4600. The boat will sleep 4/6 comfortably.....Can be set up as 2X singles and forward double....Presently set up as a settee on one side, dinette for 2 opposite, and double forward....EXTREMELY versatile boat, and remember, she is 6'10" beam, the same as narrowboats, so can be used on ALL the canal network !!.....(Unlike most of the wider cabin cruisers on the canals !! )........ If you "do your homework" you will find that Nauticus boats are considered to be the "Rolls Royce" of GRP cruisers, as they are hand made and extremely solid ...This particular boat is only for sale as we fancy upsizing to a large narrowboat.....this is the ONLY reason we are selling..... The many extras mentioned include...... 1.
22" TV/DVD/aerial.2. 12v/240 fridge.3. Top quality new cassette toilet.4. Cutlery/pans/cushions etc etc.5. Table lamps/fan.6.

The boat is totally "on the button" and ready to use immediately....The engine and leg are 100% perfect, and she ticks over like a sewing machine....The engine is the correct originally specified Ford "Watermota" which is basically a 1500cc Cortina X flow marinised engine made by Ford themselves, and not some cobbled together marinised Frankenstein !!....Parts and service items are readily and cheaply available, and she is extremely economical, especially at canal speeds !!..... PLEASE check my feedback on classifieds board....I am 100% honest, and the boat is priced to sell......If your budget is around £8k, I PROMISE you that you will not find better value for money !!......I have spent a lot more than this in buying the boat in the first place, let alone the thousands I have spent in getting her into her current shape !!... I realise things are difficult at the moment, and as I have negotiated a good discount on the narrowboat I am buying, I have decided to sell at a more than fair price..... IMPORTANT...The boat is currently moored at Garstang , and you MUST contact me to arrange viewing.....Viewings are strictly NOT ALLOWED without me being there....Please respect this rule.... The mooring is not included, but you may be able to keep her there with permission (you will need to contact the office and attend an interview with them.......Garstang is the best in my opinion with ample car parking/water/electricity/hot showers/toilets/laundry/ boat lift out and servicing/friendly professional staff/ CCTV security/ etc etc....... PAYMENT......I will accept a £200 reservation deposit via paypal to secure the boat....On receipt of the deposit, I will remove the boat from classifieds board, and give plenty of time for the buyer to inspect the boat.....If for ANY reason the buyer is not 100% happy on inspection, I will refund the deposit immediately and relist the boat on classifieds board.
Balance is either cash or bank transfer....A cheque is fine but must be cleared before handover. The boat is currently licensed for use on the canals and rivers with the Canal authority and the new owner will have to arrange to take this over (I will assist with this, it can be completed online) and the boat will also have a new 4 year safety certificate included in the price. (This is a safety certificate that all boats have to have completed every 4 years it covers fuel pipes/gas pipes/smoke detectors/gas connections etc etc). Insurance is under £100 per year, and I will assist with this as well. Any questions, you may call me on 0phone.
Regards, Robert.
