OK, so it's been awhile, we changed our plans to purchase immediately, after much advice here and elsewhere. We hired a boat for a week back in May, and shortened our trip and skipped Crick. I put together a video of our tiny little trip near Worcester. We hired an electric drive boat and we loved loved it. Excuse the benal content in the beginning on the canals, many friends and family we talked to didn't know what a UK canal was. 30 minutes long, sorry. Couldn't decide which streach of beautiful canal or set of signets or ducklings to cut out.

She was listed as a narrowboat. I would assume 6'10". 62 feet long. Here's the advert from 2019: https://www.aqueductmarina.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Specification-Template-2019-2-24.pdf

Came across this boat, the Emaa Louise Too on a Youtube video. The style is very intriguing to me. I like the rear cabin behind the wheelhouse. What would be the downsides of moving this boat around the network?

Actually, we call it an adjustable bed. Similar to what is in an hospital. It allows one to sleep with head or feet or both elevated. A bed that folds away against a wall or into a cabinet is what we call a murphy bed. I don't think I need the bed to fold away completely, jsut enough to get past easily.

Yeah, I guess I underestimated how many boaters stay in marinas. Didn't I read that about 10% of all boats were CCs? That would be about 3000, no? So maybe your 5k chargers is about right. I guess where they are would also be important. I wonder if an unused freight container, with batteries and solar would be cost effective to drop just off the towpath.
