I had a Springer double decker hotel barge, (I didn't commission it) but I bought it when it soon after it was completed in 1986. It wasn't the best built boat but after I'd made improvements it served us well for 8 years selling cruises along the upper Thames, sold in 1994, it was then I think converted into a cruising houseboat but not seen it since. Would love to know where it is, assuming it's still afloat! I understand it was the first and last double decker they ever built and of course, being a Springer it was basically a giant narrowboat.
