    Maybe the nicest narroboat you've shown. Love all the rounded edges which is a plus when banging about in close quarters. Great amount of storage A big plus on all the large appliances and air-con.

    I might’ve missed the head height - a modest 6’ 2”. One of the most beautiful narrowboats you’ve ever shown. (But, oh - that price!?!)

    • @MichaelsMustang

      When you look at the price of boats you have to consider the age of the hull, it has new paint and packed with features way above most boats, this is a near new boat of an extremely high standard.

    James, you're right: an amazing boat. Now, how much change do I have at the back of the sofa? Will you take a groat and a half-crown? Seriously, I would pay that if I had the money because to live on it for years would be a wonderful lifestyle.

  • @arthuralford
    @arthuralford 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Not much for me to complain about. The 6'2" head height would have me rubbing my head on the ceiling. The engine is sound isolated, but I'd hate to work in that space. 200w solar is not much; add a panel or two. But the boat has so many features, and the interior is very homey in a cottage sort of way. I could love this boat, even at the price

    The story of Damocles is a moral parable. "Its about realizing that what looks like an enviable life, a life of wealth, a life of power, a life of luxury is, in fact, fraught with anxiety, terror and possibly death." So its funny that this over the top narrowboat, is seeming to even warn us to not buy it. Not worth the bank note.

    A very lovely boat nicely fitted out but lacking adequate solar and with such low hours on the engine hasn't been on the cut to often probably spent most of its 5 years moored in a mariner and the price way above what it's actually worth 130k -140k only.

    Absolutely beautiful boat. I would rate her only slightly less than "Oak", from a few years ago.
    However....being gas-less, minimal solar, and 230v, means she must run her engine a LOT, or be dedicated to a wharf.

Going from comparatively cheap propane, to expensive diesel...generator or otherwise, domestic use or otherwise...defeats the entire point. Most especially, without gobs of solar atop the boat.
