  1. Hi everyone! Thanks so much for everyone’s replies I will get back to them all. the boat is a 46ft 13ft wide, back engine room, main cabin which is open plan with the kitchen and front room. Separate bedroom at the front of boat. As for the stove I am unsure of the make. It apparently came out of a cottage. I’ve recently replaced the glass + checked for gaps ect and nothing of any sort. Below I will add some pictures. I’ll take your advice and give the coal cage a go. I lived on boats prior and never had a problem with stoves. This one however I just cannot seem to keep it lit. I get the coal burning well then add more with vents slightly open and it just seems to go out :-(! * picture is with the broken glass it’s not broken anymore *
  2. I have a HUGE stove on my widebeam that just eats everything! It’s becoming a hassle and I cannot afford to keep it run through out winter. I mean it needs almost half a bag of coal which still doesn’t get my through the morning. I’ve ordered a coal cage which hopefully will help me a little but I feel like it will not heat the boat enough. I want to get a new heating system installed. Webasto? Diesel heaters? Radiators? What systems do you have or can reccomed me. Thanks!
  3. Hey! Thanks so much for that. Super helpful info!!!
  4. Thanks for that I’m new to the site! Will definitely use the search engine. Yeah I’m very aware of the situation. I’m in London currently on a 45ft narrow. The guy whom I’ve bought her off hasn’t done much cruising with her so not much to tell unfortunately. Ok I’ll contact some yards and see what they think too. Thankyou
  5. Hello! I’ve lived in London on the waterway on a 45ft narrow so yes can understand the limited space for a widey. I haven’t booked a mooring however I do spent most of my time on the Lea heading further out north. I know it may be a squeeze but I have friends doing the same thing and they seem to manage so fingers crossed! Thankyou Oh thanks! This isn’t something I thought about! Okay looked her up on the canal register and it says on there she’s 12.6 wide. It was the seller who’d told me she’s 13ft. I wonder if there’s any widebeam groups I can join to see if there’s and 13fters in London. Thankyou! Thankyou!
  6. Hi everyone! So I just bought a widebeam based in Manchester area. My plan is to take her to London and surroundings. At what point travelling from Manchester will I have to stop and get crane and lorry to then what place can I get her dropped back in to cruise the rest of the way? Rough costs too? Thanks in advance :)
