Charlie Fox

​

50ft narrowboat - steel hull, steel superstructure

​

​

This 50ft narrowboat is currently in our welding bay following a diligent and comprehensive survey by respected and feared independent marine surveyor Barry Burnell. As expected, we will be carrying out extensive repairs to get "Charlie Fox" back to her glorious self.

​

Having completed the works, we will be blacking the boat, attaching new anodes and launching her back on the Grand Union.

​

The fully running, three pot Lister will carry her downstream (or upstream) to begin new adventures.

​

We will be looking for offers around £19k and we expect the work to be finished by Friday 7th July.

​

She's empty inside and will require re-flooring in the bedroom. She's available to view immediately. All offers gratefully received and considered once you've viewed.

​

This is a great opportunity to get a sailaway type narrowboat for the price of a five year old Audi (I know this, I've been looking for one!). The return on investment for this size narrowboat once fitted is very good as prices are going nowhere but up at the moment; knowing that the hull has been brought up to scratch makes it a great option.

Wilfred - £25,000

32x10 ft all steel Dutch river cruiser
3ft draft
7ft6 airdraft
6ft4 head height in the wheelhouse
6ft head height in the front cabin

Sometimes on a boat, the designer prioritises looks over usable internal living space. With Wilfred, the boat builder has managed to excel at both. For a 32ft river cruiser, there is a phenomenal amount of comfortable and bright space.

You can enjoy being fully integrated in the natural environment around you; the windows in the wheelhouse invite in the colours and movement of the river.

Outside there’s a large and practical rear deck where you can show off your helmsmanship skills to your friends in the summer. For those rainy days, you can steer from inside.

Like most Dutch steel river cruisers, she was stored out of the water off-season, so the hull is in excellent condition. We will happily lift the boat for free for you or your surveyor to inspect.

There’s plenty of kit on board with; battery charger, hob, fridge, solar and sea toilet (which we can weld shut to accommodate a chemical or compost loo). Power comes from the commonly found and well loved DAF marine diesel engine.

Wilfred is a beautiful canvas for you to add your unique style to. What a stunning barge.

We can deliver anywhere in mainland UK (please call for a quote), or you can cruise away from here at Hemel Marina. Call today!
