Well the Taurus boat was surveyed. It was not a good outcome. The surveyor found the boat to be of a very poor build quality. The joins on the steel base plates were as much as 10mm wide and welded on the inside only. I pulled out of the sale and managed to get my deposit back. Hope this helps prospective buyers of Taurus narrowboats in the future.

Hi I'm new to narrowboats. I'm looking for my first live aboard. I'm interested in your post dated 2009 as I'm going to view a Taurus boat built in 2006. I was wondering if you bought the Taurus Narrowboat in the end. If you did what do you think of it. I just had a lucky escape as I viewed a floating homes Narrowboat. The surveyor basically condemned the build quality hence I'm still looking for my first boat. It does not need to be Hudson or a Wilson as long as it is built properly and handles fairly well I'll be happy.
