Thanks everyone, I certainly know now what to look out for. Much appreciated.

Thanks Lampini. Hopefully others may be able to confirm this and where to look for it? Presumably it will be on the BSS?

Hi all, I'm currently actively searching for a narrowboat. What concerns me is the lack of any identification marks as you would get with a car like chassis number, number plate etc. Most people have told me to get as much info as posible. Good advice. I just spoke to a very helpful lady at an insurance company who says some narrowboats do have chassis numbers?! If so, which ones (is it something only newer boats have) and where do I look/will it be recorded on the BSS? Thanks for ay advice. Obviously handing over a large amount of money (even if it is in cheque form) is making me a bit nervous. I doubt there are many stolen ones out there? Also worried about outstanding loans, any advice there on how to check? Looking forward to seeing you all on the water again soon. Paul.
