A Narrowboat with a difference - Breaking Bad (Part 2)
At @ovationboatswe pride ourselves on listening to our customers and putting their ideas into practice!
As a bespoke boat builder we have an endless supply of both experience & talent and are more than happy to accommodate any request, whether large or small!!
When asked if the traditional rear slide could be replaced by a hinged hatch to make access easier - no problem! And those conventional stirrup step fittings have been replaced by convenient toe apertures inset into the cabin side.
To keep 'Breaking Bad' even better insulated from varying temperatures, a layer of 'Thinsulate' material was placed over the foam spray before the cabin lining was fitted, however, the boat now has sound proofing like no other - and that's even without the double glazing yet being fitted!!
'Breaking Bad' has a skylight with a difference too! 'Smart Glass' will provide a clear & open aspect to the sky until a switch is operated, turning the glass to black and giving total privacy without the need for an internal blind.
With 'Breaking Bad's' new owners being keen walkers as well as 'liveaboard' boaters, the need for a larger water capacity for those daily showers, is essential. Afterall, with lives to live who wants to be tracking down a towpath water tap when there's fun to be had??!!
Two large water tanks have replaced the single domestic water tank usually found under the well deck. The one to port takes from the domestic mains water whilst the tank to starboard purifies water from the canal system to drinking water standard! Clever eh!?
In 'Breaking Bad' the team have been given a specification like no other and with the new owners having foresight as well as great attention to detail, the team look forward to their every working day!
To speak with Chris Williams direct about any of the boats we're currently fitting out or have for sale call 07963 974 793 or email chris@ovationboats.co.uk and if you're planning on having your own bespoke boat built then we'd love to help you achieve your dream!

    Interesting. Some ideas I had considered. I have been looking at a US sound insulating material called green glue in addition to rubber and thinsulation - Green glue seems very effective. I also want a MHRVAC system too. Has ovation fitted any on a narrow boat?

      Hi - we are the new owners of this boat and an HVAC system was something about which we thought during the planning stage. I guess the truth is that there are only a few days a year in the uk when you need extra cooling. Our view was that roof real estate was best utilised by maximising the solar potential. We do have an ecowave 2 ac unit which we use in our current boat but we have only broken that out a couple of times in the UK weather. The max air fan forward on the new boat will draw a lot of air through on warm days/evenings and we have allowed for a lot of ventilation from large side apertures. All the best Nigel and Ann

    Had some wine so here's my 2 cents. You don't need that many radiators in a narrowboat. Feed them from the gunwales and you can get rid of that boxing on the floor. Subway tiles in a shower cubicle, Use the flat ones not the bevelled, then you don't have issues where the two sides meet in the corner.

    The boat looks stunning. I hope the owner has many restful years aboard in which to be thankful for the privilege of traveling the canals. From the design on the side of the boat I can see that the famous and historic Rest and be Thankful pass road near Loch Croe is the inspiration for such an apt name.

    It really is a matter of choice. The Ovation Boat shells are bespoke, and to customer preference, as are the internal fit outs. Most customers prefer the semi cruiser stern nowadays, for the social side of boating, but the shell can be any design........as you can see from Willow's front deck. Most of today's customers prefer a modern look but Ovation Boats can build a more traditional narrowboat too! 😊

    We are in 2023 and these companies are still using diesel and propane. Why are these boats not all electric??? Please don't say expense!! The running costs will be negligible. No wood burners, No propane, No diesel and silent, pollution free boating. Wouldn't that be grand?

    What happened to narrowboats having some character. Every new boat coming from a whole raft of manufacturers now(not craftspeople any more), looks identical to any one from many other builders.....and some of them (not Ovation I might add)have shocking build quality. Bring back some style, some flair, some ingenuity, not just a boarded out curve free metal tube with a cheerfulness factor of zero.

      The bed is 6ft 3" long and has an extendable side. This increases the width of the bed whilst still allowing passage through to the front of the boat.
