I’m not so sure. I agree far from straightforward and definitely best to keep toilets out the mix ! But when you host a search engine website you get very detailed ‘top search’ criteria so a narrow boat brokers website hosting feedback may make interesting reading !

I suspect I may have not worded the question well, apologies. It was a simply a curious query as to what are essentially the perceived best/quickest sellers. I have a suspicion regarding the popular length and style that attracts the highest amount of search engine hits as the result of the few queries I made regarding boats for sale that quickly sold. I probably need to be quicker off the mark should that be the style I was looking for or expand my horizons etc. I’ve owned, bought and sold several boats over the last 40 years and the hassle of being a broker is most definitely not on my career list !

Hi Alan - that’s interesting to know and you may well be correct. However for now, I still work full time at sea so suspect I will still be getting my fair share of bad weather and adverse tides and occasionally the sun and fantastic sunsets when there is no better place to be ! Great to hear you are back and enjoying it.

Many thanks for various tips. I’ve bought and sold several sea going vessels via brokers and thankfully always received a good service, hopefully this will continue. I fancy a life without tides and currents now though so will keep looking !

Good Evening Alan For many years I sold cars and could have a forecourt of popular cars but would repeatedly get requests for ‘have you got any ‘Capris’ coming in (for example). I suspect a broker would be able to confirm his most popular queries.

I think a semi trad but a trying to work out whether ‘bangs for your buck’ I would be better considering something else due to popularity means supply and demand raises the price substantially.

After many years coastal sailing I’ve been researching buying a Narrowboat and wondered what a broker would ideally choose to sell based on popular queries. I am guessing a semi trad reverse layout but could be surprised !
