SOLD - Damocles, 62' Reverse layout trad 2018 Mel Davis / Jim Birch

[@susanjolly3295]

Wow never in my life have I had boat envy, but that is beautifully done inside…. I hope whoever buys it appreciates all the work gone into that stunning little floating home…. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@brockshields9336]

Maybe the nicest narroboat you've shown. Love all the rounded edges which is a plus when banging about in close quarters. Great amount of storage A big plus on all the large appliances and air-con.

[@johnmulligan7609]

I’ve just come back from Norfolk UK. Nice 2 bedroom cottage circa 1600s,80 ‘ garden. Nice pub in the village £170k.

[@GaryB007]

Wow, a stunning boat. It really is a country cottage on the water.

[@mikesarno7973]

Amazing boat! Love that oak. Wonderful layout. So much space and so much storage! Beautiful inside and out. Thank you for showing all those cupboards.

I did not think I like the boat when I first seen the wood. wow, looks like a wonderful wood cabin on the water! At the same time wonderfully modern.

That is the nicest NB I have ever seen. Merry Christmas from Indiana USA

[@lisadefries6718]

Love this boat. Certainly reminds me of Theodoric which was my all time favourite boat you have sold. But scary how expensive everything is becoming. Joy to view somebody will be lucky to own this beauty feels unique and homely.

[@dalejones4184]

Wow wow and wow! If we didn’t have a new build slot for a Braidbar Boat, we would have been interested in this, if is absolutely stunning! It will not be around for long.

[@terryv]

I might’ve missed the head height - a modest 6’ 2”. One of the most beautiful narrowboats you’ve ever shown. (But, oh - that price!?!)

[@MichaelsMustang]

When you look at the price of boats you have to consider the age of the hull, it has new paint and packed with features way above most boats, this is a near new boat of an extremely high standard.

[@DrS-of2ul]

£180k?? Is that a typo? :)

[@pascalcoole2725]

These are indeed not the prices of 4 years ago anymore

[@lacharmer441]

Must be

[@neilmaybury7452]

I guessed at 60🙈

[@peter58murray]

Yeah, there living in a dream world....nobody will pay 180k for 5 year old none hybrid narrow beam....I wonder what mark up they've added to the price they bought it for..I'd be surprised if they paid more then 100k

[@beasmith1]

That's a beautiful boat. I would be very comfy on that!

[@Barbarellacapsule]

Oooow a Real Beauty.... So nice to see a boat build with Heaps of Character & prev owner will of adored it.... If i had the dosh I would buy this today.....🥰

[@wilfamos7314]

Lovely boat. How much? For that money I would need bricks, mortar, foundations and a postcode!

[@sebxiou-lifestyle4465]

James, you're right: an amazing boat. Now, how much change do I have at the back of the sofa? Will you take a groat and a half-crown? Seriously, I would pay that if I had the money because to live on it for years would be a wonderful lifestyle.

[@colingibson3921]

Would like to have seen the fwd compartment . Where the Genny is? The rest of the boat is definitely stunning.

[@arthuralford]

Not much for me to complain about. The 6'2" head height would have me rubbing my head on the ceiling. The engine is sound isolated, but I'd hate to work in that space. 200w solar is not much; add a panel or two. But the boat has so many features, and the interior is very homey in a cottage sort of way. I could love this boat, even at the price

[@bertiewooster3326]

Arthur you getting old as a result your body height will shrink by 2inches at least so its not a problem really.

Stunning boat have never seen such a quality fit out as that. However, its just had full repaint after just 3 years? And the holding tank is very small. But stunning.

[@bobreader215]

That is fabulous❤

[@briansmaller7443]

They like being warm. Never seen so many heat sources.

[@adamnorris8006]

The story of Damocles is a moral parable. "Its about realizing that what looks like an enviable life, a life of wealth, a life of power, a life of luxury is, in fact, fraught with anxiety, terror and possibly death." So its funny that this over the top narrowboat, is seeming to even warn us to not buy it. Not worth the bank note.

[@margolenney6032]

Crazy Money absolutely crazy. It’s a nice boat but the old aga type stove ! To eat in ‘the conservatory’ you need to freeze in the winter & carry your meal through the bedroom & the loo! Nice for guests, I don’t think.

[@BladeRunner21577]

Beautiful

[@simonupex2628]

A very lovely boat nicely fitted out but lacking adequate solar and with such low hours on the engine hasn't been on the cut to often probably spent most of its 5 years moored in a mariner and the price way above what it's actually worth 130k -140k only.

[@heathercushing6974]

Wow im in love.

[@tingtongfarangproductions6818]

I want to see more of the dog

[@davidsedlickas8222]

In the top 5 boats on the network dream boat. Only thing I change is pump out toilet to cassette.

Repainted after only three years !! Nice boat tho’ 👍

[@trevorsbarkingmadchannel4501]

Very nice indeed.

[@robertyou9030]

Very nice boat but their two things what put me off buying first the length of boat 62 ft you're restricted on certain canals and secondly the price there's many boats far cheaper and just as good

[@bishwatntl]

I wonder if the aircon unit on the roof might be a problem under some low bridges?

[@GaryB007]

@@bishwatntl Only the once 🤣

[@SLO-Ride]

No restrictions on 99% of the canal system. 70' is when you really start to have problems fitting in.

[@timothybearne147]

@@SLO-Ride But that 1% will prevent cruising any of the Pennine Rings.

[@matty40s]

@@bishwatntl the boat is currently on the Nene, and there are some pretty low bridges on that. The top seems to be level with the front end of the boat so probably OK

A bit over the top interior, with an over the top price, but a beautiful job.

[@leoone4191]

Missed a trick not having a solid fuel range. Lovely otherwise but a marina boat sadly not a live a board on the towpath.

[@SLO-Ride]

Absolutely beautiful boat. I would rate her only slightly less than "Oak", from a few years ago. However....being gas-less, minimal solar, and 230v, means she must run her engine a LOT, or be dedicated to a wharf.

[@jamieeimermann9089]

You missed the 10 kva generator

[@SLO-Ride]

@@jamieeimermann9089 So...then the boat isn't gas-less after all :)

[@matty40s]

@@SLO-Ride it is, because the genny is diesel, not gas or petro

[@SLO-Ride]

@@matty40s 😑🤨😐

[@SLO-Ride]

@@matty40s The entire point of "gasless", is to not use any petrol, other than the engine for propulsion. Going from comparatively cheap propane, to expensive diesel...generator or otherwise, domestic use or otherwise...defeats the entire point. Most especially, without gobs of solar atop the boat.

[@vickic1116]

Beautiful boat, but you can get a brand new boat with every extra for less than that. I hope they get it, as it pushes the price of my boat through the roof..🤔

[@matty40s]

You can get a brand new boat for less yes, but not with that craftsmanship, features and not without a 2 year waiting list

[@veronicaroach3667]

A huge price tag but yet pretty scruffy & tired looking woodwork. Way over-priced just because it has some features like the fancy kitchen stove ? It feels claustrophobic to me I would have to get in there & paint all that grungy woodwork - the nicely rounded edged countertops could stay !
