We sadly have to relist this lovely trad-stern 55ft narrowboat built in 1993 by Scarisbrick due to the owner's ill-health. She is something of a project but wouldn't take a lot of work to make good.
She was last lifted and anti-fouled 4 years ago.
She has a traditional layout in terms of a double stern cabin, midships heads with 1/2 bath and forward galley and saloon. She has a fully covered cratch too.
Powered by a Kubota Beta engine, she'd be prefect for continuous cruising.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
