Description

Perfik is a 50ft traditional stern narrowboat built by Colecraft in 1995 to a very high quality and exhibited by them in that year at the IWA Show at Broughton. Perfik was purchased at that show by her former owners (close friends of the vendors) who lovingly maintained her as their holiday home for 27 years.

Having prepared Perfik for a spell of continuous cruising, with upgrades totalling around £8,000, due to an upcoming relocation overseas the current owners are reluctantly offering her for sale. She is being sold equipped with many household extras included, making her a ‘ready to go’ option.

Perfik is available for viewing at Saul Junction Marina, Frampton on Severn from 30th May 2024.

As you step onboard Perfik, you are greeted by the preserved original quality, charm and elegance of fit out for which Colecraft are known, with oak panelling and mahogany decorative noggins and inlays throughout the interior cabin. She offers ample storage in a comfortable, carpeted interior with separating doors between each zone.

In addition to the recent Victron equipment installed, recent placement parts fitted include: consumer unit, exhaust insulation wrap, Johnson gulper pump, Shurflow water pump and accumulator tank and Whale Orca 12v 500 auto bilge pump.

Perfik has a Boat Safety Certificate until 30.08.2027 and was blacked by RW Davis in March 2024 with two coats of bitumastic.

1205 litre water tank. 280 litre diesel tank (fuel cleaned in 2023).

Last survey was in July 2022 and the few recommendations for repair have been completed. The survey will be made available at the point of payment of deposit.
