@Alan de Enfield Thank you for your really detailed response it makes sense now! I suppose there are certain fitters who specialise in fits for high end budgets and others which focus on more run of the mill fits. Overall, I thought the very expensive boats would be much more, for example you can spend over £1m on a motorhome and even £500k on a 4 berth so a narrowboat is cheap in comparison !!! Still full time ownership is a pipedream for me, so I'll stick with day hire until my numbers come in......

Wow thanks! Some of these boats almost seem like vanity projects more than high end boats, I even thought the last one was in Burberry at first glance, bit bling for my liking!!!! Is there a specific boatmaker who are known for producing ultra high end narrowboats or people just have to retrofit standard boats if they want to go all out?

Hi I'm Barry, Thank you for letting me join your wonderful forum! I love narrowboats which probably started from my childhood home which overlooked the Shropshire Union Canal. Sadly due to my financial position my boating experience has never been more than a few day drips on them. I have always wondered if money were no object what is the most you could spend on a narrowboat (not widebeam) and is there a builder who is considered the Rolls Royce of narrowboats? Purely a hypothetical question until I win the lottery but I always like to dream.......
