best boat iv seen in a long time worth 43k of any ones money after the survey if mine i would put solar panels on and get a washing machine and job done what a lovely lovely boat

[@Project_Servotopia]

This may very well be the most spacious boat I've seen under 50' long. Given its capacity for 3 beds, minimal galley, and a pump-out loo at this size I'm guessing it started out life as a hire boat... a guess that was of course quickly confirmed by simply clicking the link in the description. :) Yes, it's showing its age and would need a fair bit of freshening up on the inside... but I would have no problem seeing myself happily living on board. Could easily convert that front sitting room into an office/studio or even make it the actual bedroom and use the current bedroom for something else.

I was wondering if she was originally a hire boat as well.

[@trevorsbarkingmadchannel4501]

That’s amazing all in a 49 ft boat. Very tempting

[@arthuralford]

Engine bay is very clean, but not the space to store your paint cans. Appliances look like they could use a refresh, and the kitchen cabinets are showing their wear. The boat looks like it was cared for, but it's age is starting to show. The forward space is useful if you need to have guests onboard, or wanted to set up a small office. Or, expand the bedroom forward and give it more space. No solar, though. The black looks like it needs a touch-up. The price is consistent with the market, though I'd set aside another 5-7.5k for refinishing the interior

That’s perfect for us, it’s exactly what we’d want though would prefer a bit longer, but hell it’s all there.

A fifty-footer with a spare room, now THAT impresses me!

[@jeffebdy]

Maybe old but what a lovely boat, and as other comments have observed, it's like a TARDIS! The only question I have is does commodore Bumble get on with Nugget

[@dubliner1100]

The commodore doesn’t mix with the ratings!!

Wow it is like going through the wardrobe into Narnia.

Thank you for introducing the newest member of staff. Welcome, Admiral Nugget! ;D

Great boat Hello Nugget xxx

[@clivewitcomb2839]

That last cabin was a surprise in a sub-50 footer! Still feels pricey for the age of boat, even with the engine/prop upgrades... X

[@beasmith1]

Blimey, a 'party' boat ;o) It's like a tardis. You wouldn't expect to have so much in a boat under 50 foot.

[@SLO-Ride]

New oven/grill (though I like that design). The massive couch overwhelms the salon. The forward cabin is a waste of space on a short boat. Where it not included, the salon and bedroom would have been much larger. I like the clean engine bay, but I would add a hospital silencer. With plenty of solar added, along with the 4 gas bottles, long range cruising would be easy! I can only presume, that the layout was for a hire boat, and later converted to a home.

If Bungle is a commodore, what Rank and Title does Nugget have in the Rugby Boat Navy?

[@andrewmills744]

Admiral, always out ranking dogs, keep feet dry.

[@GildaLee27]

Admiral Nugget!

Boat Seller Top Tip: If you're going to quickly slap paint all over the engine bay to cover up shocking amounts of rust for the brochure video, remember to hide the tin of paint.

[@maobfh]

Troll tip: if you are going to accuse someone of hiding flaws behind paint, check the paint to see if it is new. You can see some yellow stain from water in the top right, some scratches and marks throughout. That is not a new paint job. Troll Tip #2: check the paint can and verify a match. Is that dried stain? Is it paint that sat long enough to separate and the clearer liquid spilled out onto the can? Either way, it would be different if it was paint that was recently painted in the engine bay. The REAL Nostradamus would have known the difference, EVEN IF such things did not exist in his time. In my garage, you will find 6 or 7 paint cans. The paint for the exterior, another can for exterior trim, and the remaining cans for interior rooms that were custom mixes. Having extra paint is very handy for touching up scratches and scrapes. It will separate after a month or two and you can use a drill and several utensils to stir it together again. If it has not been mixed in several years and the pigmented substance has hardened in the bottom, you can take it in and have it analyzed for the exact color name or the pigments used and the ratio of each color. I wonder… are you just running around trolling random videos? Did you have an unhappy encounter with Rugby Boats in the past? I wonder if you work from a company that you would like to see become more recognized than Rugny Boats or see more sales/take their potential sales? We call that “a plant” in the States. There is another word you will see in gangster movies but I don’t remember what it is. Not a Patsy. Hmmm….

[@funkydozer]

@@maobfh I'm sorry but my screen reader wouldn't read your comment, it just made a long loud farting sound and then stopped. Could you paraphrase please?

[@maobfh]

@@funkydozer you poor dear. I wonder if your equipment difficulties are why you so grossly misread the engine bay condition. Glad you mentioned it before I called you a complete fool. You might want to get it fixed before you offer any more impulsive assessments of the visual conditions you think you see in a video. If your audio is also malfunctioning, you would look much more intelligent- or at least of normal intelligence- if you also disabled your keyboard.

[@manicpixiebooknerd]

This would be perfect for me but my boyfriend is 6’7 sooo I can’t live on a narrow boat :(((

[@CosmicPrawny]

Painted in 'only 2011'. 🤔
