Hi my name is Leb, I'm a professional welder by trade and have lived and loved Party Animal since first constructed 6 years ago. You will get fully comprehensive insurance no problems and also a Marine Mortgage because if its good all round and hull condition She is a great boat, hence staying on board for 6 years. Not sure I would have lasted that long on a narrowboat. My widebeam is definitely the most comfortable way to live the lifestyle and to get the most out of the experience I literally have a boat full of memories and I hope the person who buys her will treat her like I have, she will reward you with great experiences and the company of like minded people where ever you stop. A recent out of water inspection shows the hull to be in excellent condition and 3 coats of blacking has been applied.
The engine starts first time every time and will cruise all day without any nonsense A bit about the lifestyle... Drink from the natural springs, meet welcoming people everyday, hear the birds song chorus at 5 in the morning, see amazing sunrises or frosted landscapes, pick all the fruits and nuts that grow in the hedgerows and enjoy peace. There is also a big musical scene, Lots of boaters play instruments and have good get togethers Party Animal: She has an excellent layout which provides a lot of space to entertain with a kitchen bar area and a large double bed at the rear of the boat. The sofa area in the front room can sleep more people. There is a large cruiser stern rear deck so everyone can enjoy cruising in the sunshine, you will find the Isuzu diesel engine under here which not only has a name for reliability it starts on the button every time first time, I really like this boat because of that! A brand new alternator charges three batteries which provide the domestic power.The 1200 watt electrical invertor provides 240 volt power but there is also 12 volt power present, the instant hot water heater in the kitchen has never let me down and the fridge keeps my milk good in the summer.For the winter there is a Webasco hot water heater which runs on red diesel straight from the tanks of the boat.
Red diesel currently being sold for 60p per litre at Spencers yard, which is a bit further down from where the boat is laying. This being Bradford-On-Avon near Bath. In any case Spencer usually delivers coal, gas and diesel via his work boat. This is another great example of the community we find around us and I know that most canal systems have a coal boat operating. Party animal has always started on the buttonIf anyone you need help cruising her back to London I will offer my help and come along for the journey before I head of to Devon Specification: *Cruiser stern style widebeam boat 17.50m (57 ft) hull length 3m (10 ft) beam 0.457m (18 ins) draught forward.
