Description
Mischief is a 50ft traditional stern narrowboat built in 2004 by Maesbury Marine Services Ltd. She features an attractive ‘Josher’ style bow, complete with decorative false rivets along the hull, giving her a distinctive and characterful appearance.
The boat has been meticulously maintained in recent years, benefiting from a number of significant upgrades. In 2024, the hull was professionally grit blasted and treated with three coats of two-pack epoxy, ensuring long-term protection and durability. A full exterior repaint was carried out in 2020 by Willow Boats and remains in excellent condition.
A new Webasto 5kW heating system was installed in August 2025, which supplies two radiators and a heated towel rail. The boat is now available to view at Swanley Bridge Marina, near Nantwich.
