To me, living in a “narrow” narrow boat would be more like camping out. I know they can tour ALL the canals and “wide body” narrow boats are restricted to wide canals but this is spacious and has enough room for gensets, larger water tanks, etc. this would be so much more comfortable!
@@Heavywall70 It is quite easy and relatively cheap to upgrade the motor if needed though most of the time it is powerful enough already. Also almost all of the widebeams are cat c, you can cross the channel for european canal cruising and use the sea route to travel between the north and the south canal networks in UK.and you got it right about the rivers, narrowboats are quite shaky to navigate those for sure.
The most beautiful narrow boat I’ve ever seen, but alas, the depreciation factor would be the killer. A house tends to increase in value over time, but this beauty would depreciate the moment you cast off and drove off into the sunset. For a lottery winner - go for it. You only live once, For the builders of this beauty - full marks.
It felt like the first person view in a horror movie where the killer is sneaking round the house breathing heavily with excitement about what he’s about to do
Stunning and I'd love to live on this boat but, at a tad over £210k, the running costs would be astronomical and I couldn't afford it! Beautiful though! Love the wood-work and overall condition.
Actually running costs of a canal boat are super cheap. While the initial cost for one like this is high, you'll be paying a fraction of the cost to live in a house. You don't even pay tax after VAT.
In the living room area I would move that chair on the right side to the left side and then add a small sofa on the right side so 4 people could have a place to sit if there is 4 chairs to dine and 2 bedrooms for 4 people there should be a place where 4 people could sit in the living room so people add the small sofa......
This is so nice how could you not want to live on it? Beautiful, let's build some in America. A slightly larger engine and a powerful bow thruster should do it.

Provided I copied this correctly, this is a map of the UK canals, if it does not work just google" canal maps of uk", most are suitable for widebeams in fact, to clarify though some in the Midlands are not so you have to way all these factors up. www.google.com/search?q=canal+maps+of+uk&rlz=1C5CHFA_enAU698AU713&sxsrf=ALeKk03GqmuadP3Hk2s5sYUd217PCMS_2g:1585805696045&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj568fJgsnoAhVTg-YKHSWuCokQ_AUoAnoECA4QBA&biw=1222&bih=905#imgrc=imgoidMz9smGGM
I want a Bespoke Aqualine wide body with house voltage (not 12 volt) (drawer style refer and freezer)appliances, gas oven, range and heating, a hybrid diesel/electric engine with maximum solar cells and batteries and a bow thruster and a Bimini top. This boat with my upgrade plan ...YES! Opinions appreciated.
Hi We can provide with a quotation for your design with hybrid engine as soon as we know your complete specification, if you could email me your wish list direct to will@newandusedboat.co.uk I'll gladly go through the spec and get something drawn up. Kind regards Will
Hi my boss has just come in, and informed me we have an all electric boat in the planning stage which will have straight 240v into the boat with a converter to run the lights. If you would like I can ask them to discuss this with you further? will@newandusedboat.co.uk
The Problem with this industry is they over price boats for the wealthy baby boomers no value here at all £170.000 should read £90.000 go look at park homes for better value.
Why oh why would you spend that much money on a floating caravan? Its so modern that it doesnt even have a bit of old world charm as a saving grace. In fact the owners like it so much they ard trying to flog it. One other thing, why the heavy breathing? Practise?

If the motor is powerful enough many of our rivers would be nicely explored in one of these.

An absolutely beautiful boat

It's a widebeam rather than a narrowboat.
The builder hasn't created a boat but a dream and I think at that price that is just what I need to keep on doing.
A fine example of a high quality canal boat.
It was the 50p added to the price tag that was the deal-breaker for me.
I will lend you the 50p if you let me have a free holiday on this bad boy
For me it was the fact this literally costs twice as much as my house...
@@audigex I wish I lived where you lived :(, houses here start at 350k
Thats a lovely boat.
Nice woodwork.

I wish that the guy and open cabinets shelled refrigerator if there was a dishwasher be more in depth about it.

Awesome luxury fit out I bet Japanese would love this.
Beautiful boat!!!
Wow! My favorite long boat!
Wow, amazing spec. 😊
Absolutely stunning

If your on a boat having 'Canal time' why have an alarm clock in the bedroom??
BEAUTIFUL AFT DECK FOR ENTERTAINING!!!
The only things this tour is missing are a random jumping cat and eerie music. Beautiful boat though .
No plank, No poles: NO SALE!!
If you can get it to me in Australia, I'll buy it. Bigger than my apartment and a 1/4 of the price! Beautiful.

Why would you need a bigger engine? These aren't open water boats, they're made for canals, and narrow rivers.
@@geographyinaction7814 But what about wide rivers? Like Thames, Rhine, Mississippi, Nile etc.

Seems like a very inconvenient location for the electric plug to be! Wouldn’t one on each side by the side doors be better?
Does it come with any of the furnishings
Would live on this boat,very nice
Is this to wide for most Canals? Stunning!
Yes.

@@MichaelsMustang the narrow locks are the issue
Shame the shuffling of feet and heaving breathing i thought it was a horror film i was watching
I must say that’s a fabulous idea for a scream flick
Yeah sometimes it is better to add some sort of discreet soundtrack instead. Nothing loud and annoying but just something.
the Blair Witch Barge
Impressive!
A bathroom with a see through albeit opaque glass door? Now that’s an unusual feature
Love it it's a master piece

I keep looking at this ya hey boat. I can’t help it! I’m a goner!
Do any of the windows open?
All of them with a hammer 😯
It’s like I’m being shown around by a burglar
hehehehehe
Lol, a few facts about the boat would of been good.
It pushed it out of my price bracket.
So £211,485 including the vat I could buy a very nice house with a lot more room for that or an excellent holiday home abroad.
if the boat is your permanent home you pay no VAT.
176k plus vat that cannot be right !!!
that seems a tad too overpriced especially when you add the vat
Boxing in Radiators is stupidly counter-productive.
What a beauty. Could i marry you for your boat? 😂
Omg wow
An astronomical asking price and a marketing video with ................ no marketing! Head height? Bed width? I thought the 50p might go toward that?
Nope, I’m off to Rugby boats
Jeez buddy, see a doctor about that breathing!
Ex VAT 😃
Very nice boat, but not so nice price.
You could get a lot in bricks and mortar for that money.
❤️
Lovely but an awful lot of money for a depreciating asset.
The line should not be in the water

Galley obviously designed by a man....a woman would never put the stove and sink on opposite sides! Deal breaker for sure!
Never a good thing to have ones power cable in the water!!
