Narrowboats that are rafted a lot run the risk of corroding due to stray current corrosion, even if the electrics on your boat are sound as a pound, stray currents from your neighbours boats can cause your hull to corrode and rapidly too ! general corrosion is not too bad but when you get pitting corrosion, action has to be taken.

A COUPLE OF WEEKS !! .As a solo boater, mine lasts 6 weeks. My holding tank is a fairly modest 200 Litres. I think the number of people regularly using the toilet is the biggest factor. If I were having a boat built, i would spec a 500 Litre tank.

Thanks so much for posting this, it makes buying a 2nd user Narrowboat sound even more of a minefield than I thought it was going to be ! The good thing though is that it should leave no one in any doubt that buying a Narrowboat without having a survey carried out is nothing short of total madness. One question if I may, is what happens if a major fault with the hull or engine/drivetrain has been covered up in some way resulting in the surveyor missing it ? I am sure anything like that would be extremely unlikely, but can a surveyor be held responsible ?

Really like this boat. If it wasn't for lockdown I'd visit today! I don't really want a Pump out loo, but if the rest ticks all the boxes it's a definite goer. I think it's a bit overpriced, and as it hasn't sold almost immediately, I worry about what's wrong with it... No recent surveys, and a head gasket change...

They dont print the price on the videos because prices change. If your actualy interested take a minute and go to the webpage and check out the posting which shows the price engine type and all the other information you need.
