[@Theandyaston]

Thank you Jane. The boat has all you need for a few days get-away. I hope to add more videos soon. Just got man-flu at the moment 🤧

[@candrewcollins248]

This is exactly what I will be looking for next year when I retire, if its not too personal do you mind giving me an idea what sort of age and price it was / is or if you bought it new?

[@Theandyaston]

Hello Andrew. The boat is 15 years old. Please excuse my silence, but I prefer to reserve my comments on the price. Market value would be the appropriate answer. Kindest regards.

Beautiful boat, but one question, how do you heat it in winter, I didn't notice any form of heating system, a lot of narrow boats have either log burners or radiators, I didn't see anything like that, it must get really cold in winter, failing that this a gorgeous little boat,

[@human6.045]

These ones usually have hot blown air diesel heaters, most likely an eberspacher. They work great but require more servicing/parts etc if running continuously like one would during winter; as parts wear out. They also require energy from the batteries which isn't great for winter if full time living on board as a continues cruiser. Great for a weekender though and/or spring, summer and autumn with decent solar and/or a bit of charging the onboard batteries while cruising. I have an eberspacher in my campervan... electric consumption during the cold months is rather high though, so I substitute with gas heating during the day and use the 'safer' eberspacher diesel heater all night. I hope this helps Suzanne.

[@stevevoyles3816]

Nice boat, but would want more storage for clothing..

[@clivekibbler4578]

i like it

[@Theandyaston]

Thank you Clive 👍🏻

[@davis.fourohfour]

Someday narrowboats will transform when the canal has superchargers ready for all-electric systems.

[@Voyeurz]

hi ....you appear to have replaced the seating on the bow lockers, what have you used?, ours are rotting now.

[@Theandyaston]

I cleaned them and painted with grey enamel.

[@bernadettec6386]

Lovely lovely boat but from a woman's view point , where can I put all my shoes , clothes and make up. Would love to put a smiley but it is not working at moment.

[@Theandyaston]

Well. You should be looking at 70ft Narrowboats, not 31ft. Or sell some of those shoes 👟 😊

[@comedyloulou3746]

I don’t have loads of shoes so it’s not an issue 😊

[@bessiebraveheart]

Nice boat. It's a shame it's too small.

[@Theandyaston]

Its not too small if you want a small boat :-)

[@passiflorapassiflora6058]

this man is very sad for selling his boat....
