Description
An opportunity to purchase one of six boats built by Spur Marine. Franchise is a 54ft traditional stern narrowboat with boatmans cabin, built in 1977. Only 5 owners in nearly 50 years. She has a mass of history and ouzes character.
Walking in from the traditional stern into a traditional boatmans cabin with cross bed. Through to the engine room with a Rushton & Hornsby engine, which sounds amazing for the traditionalists. Side doors with top hatches either side of the engine. Continue through to the bathroom with just the shower cubicle in place and calorifier, so requires completion. Next is a good size galley with breakfast bar, working cooker, under counter fridge and plenty of storage. Finally, the open plan saloon with ample space for you to make your own. Half glazed hardwood bow doors lead out onto a good size bow deck covered with cratchboard but requiring a new cover.
Just been issued with a new boat safety certificate.
Great litte boat and excellent project for a new owner to refit and restore her back to her former glory.
