Description

Introducing Emperor Goose, a spacious 70ft semi-traditional narrowboat built by Alvechurch and currently moored in Staffordshire. Offering generous internal space and a versatile additional room at the stern—ideal as a saloon, workspace or extra bedroom—she presents an excellent opportunity for a buyer looking to personalise a well-proportioned liveaboard or cruising vessel. With a semi-trad stern and dimensions of 70ft by 6ft 10in, she combines practical cruising with flexible onboard living.

The accommodation provides up to five berths, including a fixed double bed and single bunk, with an L-shaped dinette that converts into a further double berth to the bow. The galley is fitted with a Hotpoint cooker, Inlander fridge and laminate worktops, while laminate and vinyl flooring run throughout. The bathroom includes a compost toilet, vanity basin and hip bath with shower over, offering practical facilities for extended stays aboard.

Powered by an Isuzu 42hp four-cylinder diesel engine with PRM gearbox and keel cooling, Emperor Goose has a fuel capacity of approximately 250 litres and a water tank of around 1,000 litres. Hot water is supplied via a calorifier and immersion, with heating from an Eberspacher system (due a service) and a solid fuel stove with reco heat. The electrical system includes 12v and 240v, a 2.5kw inverter, one starter and five leisure batteries, plus an impressive 1000w solar array with MPPT controller.

Constructed in steel with a flat bottom hull and top-opening windows, she offers scope for cosmetic updating while already providing the essentials for comfortable life afloat. She was last blacked in 2020 and holds a Boat Safety Certificate valid until 2029. A side hatch adds extra light and access to the cabin.

Emperor Goose is a roomy and capable narrowboat with huge potential, ideal for those seeking space and flexibility to create their own floating home.

Construction

Who fitted the boat out and what type of materials were used (Hard wood or MDF etc) What equipment does the boat have (Bow thruster, generator, inverters etc) These are just a few of the many factors that equate to the correct value of a boat.

Engine(s)

Powered by an Isuzu 42hp four-cylinder diesel engine with PRM gearbox and keel cooling.

BUYERS & SELLERS

When you buy a boat from us you pay all monies in to our company clients trust account which means that the buyers and sellers money is protected. This is the same account that solicitors set up for house sales .This money does not belong to the company it belongs to the buyer until the sale is complete and then we pay the seller from the company clients trust account. We cannot release the money from the Clients Trust Account to the seller until the vessel has been accepted and handed over to the buyer because if there was a fault with the vessel and the buyer refused to accept it and wanted their money back we could not do this because the seller would of already had the money. This could become a very costly and messy problem for all parties.

This money never enters our company current account. This also means that we cannot use customers money for other purchases/reasons. If at any point the company went bust then the buyers/sellers money is safe and it would go back to the rightful owner of the money.

We have had this company clients trust account set up from day one to protect our customers money. This account is a secure holding account. We pay the seller monies due from this account when the buyer has signed to accept the vessel. Payment is made from this account to the seller by cheque from the clients Trust Account which is protected guaranteed funds.
