Is that water damage on the right hand side and the bottom of the dinette? It looks quite dark. Can the window be removed from the side hatch to turn it back into a hatch?
Most of the porthole windows have been leaking resulting in a lot of water damage on the wood panels . Must have been a live aboard in a marina as the hull has a lot of algae growth on the water line . 15k overpriced .
Lovely boat but my heart always sinks every time I hear the dreaded words "Thetford cassette loo". Who wants to do their business in a Tupperware box and they look so cheap and nasty.
Rocking Weeble I totally agree. Can you imagine cleaning it out. I spent years as a nurse cleaning bedpans so to clean out your family and friends waste is horrifying no no no not for me either. There has got to be and there is a better way. But it’s probably too expensive. Interesting to know if family members take it in turn to ‘slop out’ yep I doubt it too.
Overall a nice looking boat, though I'd have to agree that the apparently water damaged areas are a bit concerning. Could be right as rain with some TLC though.
Very nice boat, but I’m always bemused by the thinking of a seller who places such sentimental value on a boat-size sofa or chairs that he feels the irresistible need to remove them from the saloon prior to a sale, rather that write them off and leave them behind to add to the appeal of the boat. Could they have been family heirlooms? I mean, how much value could they have that would justify removing them? Just wondering. Lovely boat.
yeah at least pick up a nice second hand brown leather sofa or captains chairs from a charity store or something and finish off the boat if your selling for 60 k ...i sell for a living and would spend £200 quid on a few soft furnishings pot plants books ..sofa kitchen ware etc to add some badly needed eye appeal ..
Colin Stewart you make similar comments on a large number of boats from Rugby, all of which seem to sell within hours or at most days. Perhaps it is you who should review your pricing strategy!
Hey, people sell boats. But why ask "why"? Do you think you’ll get an honest answer if it’s because of leaks, smells, rattles, or bugs? The answer will always be some variation of "I don’t get out on it anymore" or "I need a down payment for a new house" or "My wife hates canals" or whatever. So why even ask?

I thought the same when I saw that
Glass panel just lifts out.

The most argued about thing on narrow boats, cassettes or pump out, I personally prefer the modern type of pumpout with a macerator and seperate tank.
During the process of my research I watched a video on the Elsan station and the girl using it was not wearing gloves !!!
I would prefer this to a pumpout. It would be so much easier and cheaper to convert to a composting toilet. Which would be my preference.
@@iantaylor5292 Composting all they way. Can not understand why any other are being used.
superb boat worth every penny of 50k but people will pay for what thy want expect that to go for 55k
60k
Love it when you say ‘into the boat we go!’ Love your vlogs! Wish I could afford one of your boats! Dream!!
That's my favourite bit too 😁
It's not truly a Rugby Boat Sales video until we hear those words, am I right?

A floating piece of furniture. Lovalee.
A brolly holder on the tiller...
How about that.
Seen a lot but never that.

Spencer Wilton oh sorry. I thought comments section was for comments. How silly of me!
And all the water damage on all the windows, how much black mould is hiding behind those panels. Just look at the base of the dinette.
Mike Hurley these videos are all on the same lines. Sometimes I wonder if he uses the same commentary and just changes the video.
Lovely video all the essential items were shown, very clen engine and i love that maintaince hatch !!!
Getting to that engine for any serious maintenance would be a nightmare.
Side Hatch with fixed window, pointless in my opinion
I love this boat! Beautiful and quite unusual
She looked a lot more loved when she was for sale two years ago.
Lovely boat. Wonderful layout. Love the oak. Thank you for showing all those cupboards.
Ikea have reopened, off you go to look at cupboards.
First
No one cares 🥱
@@BillyBreaksBad well im not going to buy the boat after that comment.
Another thing that could be Mandy on these boats. A ten foot lay down mast that could be raised and have a wind generator on top
Why are they selling after just two years?
could be many reasons ..illness .death money issues or the life wasn't for them ....

I would suggest thats none of your business mate.
I don’t think I have seen one boat yet with the heating provided by a portable calor gas fire. Why not?
Because of the massive amounts of Carbon Monoxide they give off, nice peaceful death.
expat taffy the multi fuel stoves give out a Dry heat that you need in a submerged steel box.
