I'm buying a boat part 32467243876

[fractionMan]

Just put an offer in on a boat and had it accepted!

It's a high spec narrowboat with a double cabin for me and the cutest most awesome single cabin for lil fraction.

It's only two years old, been moved 4 miles in it's entire life. I estimate I'm getting it at almost half price

Sorting out the survey now!

 

[Idaho]

Cool. To live on?

Where do you poo?

 

[fogbat]

Congratulations!

 

[quimcunx]

A good that sounds better than that ''wide narrow boat'' they were trying to palm you off with.

 

[fractionMan]

Cool. To live on?

Where do you poo?

Yeah, I'm gonna live on it. And poo in my top of the range vacuum flush toilet.

 

[BoatieBird]

More details please!

 

[fractionMan]

58" 6"10' 2007 RRL boats built and fitted

Engine mounted 3.5kw travel genny, powermaster inverter/charger (with solar reg if required), washing machine, diesel central heating, cruiser stern, green with white coach lines, 6 decent leisure batteries, Yanmar Barrus Shire 45 engine.

No stove or sofa though. But that is easily remedied.

 

[gosub]

does it come with a mooring?

 

[fractionMan]

does it come with a mooring?

nope. Gonna cruise it. Might get a mooring if I get fed up with moving though.

[fractionMan]

Not sure if the name's been painted on yet.

Hmm.

 

[BoatieBird]

It looks great.
Welcome to the world of boatie living, I'm sure you'll love it

 

[BoatieBird]

Not sure if the name's been painted on yet.

How many bedrooms does it have (just in case you get visiting Urbanites)?


ETA: Oh right, a double and a single. Sorry

 

[fractionMan]

Lovely

One for me and one for lil fraction. I'll be sticking a sofabed in the front though.

Guests welcome!

 

[Greebo]

Here's hoping the survey is a lot better than that last boat you looked at.

It sounds lovely so far - well done for finding this boat.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Not sure if the name's been painted on yet.

Hmm.

Is there no name/number on it already?

Isn't it supposed to be bad luck to change it?

 

[fractionMan]

What's it called?

It's called "harold"

Apparently it's fine as long as you do it out of the water

Harold is starting to grow on me though. I asked lil fraction and he said it should be called "boat on the river" or "B is for Boat". I quite like the second one lol

 

[BoatieBird]

Harold is don't change it

 

[pinkmonkey]

There is one called 'Bob' that was for sale in London a few months ago....

Good luck with the survey!

 

[fractionMan]

Harold is don't change it

I thought boats were supposed to be girls though

 

[BoatieBird]

I thought boats were supposed to be girls though

ours is called Tom!

 

[fractionMan]

ours is called Tom!

oh yeah

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

It's called "harold"



Apparently it's fine as long as you do it out of the water

Maybe when it's in dry dock?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I thought boats were supposed to be girls though

How can they be unless they're immaculate conceptions?

 

[Spion]

Cool buy, Fraction.

How much?

I'm gonna be in the market for a boat in the next couple of years, but I want wide beam or Dutch

 

[ovaltina]

I'd love to do this.

With the cruising, can you just stop wherever for free or do you have to book in somewhere?
