Interesting! Where do you keep the rotary bin?

We are still looking but appreciate all your thoughts. Thank you! Yes, I think this size would work well for us.

Thank you for all your comments so far, they have been really helpful. The other concern I have is if a boat has been sat on brockeridge for over a month. Would you see this as a red flag or is it just a boat of this size is less popular?

Hi, it was built in 2019 by Nick Thorpe/Cunliffe boats

Hi, We have been looking for our first boat for a couple of months now. One surveyed boat later and we are still looking. We originally thought we wanted 60ishfoot but have decided that for a leisure boat we probably don't need this much space. We have seen a boat online but is quite a distance from us. It's a 2019 48foot built by Nick Thorpe. This was first on for about 77,000 and recently reduced to 70,000. After looking at 60 footers this seems very reasonable or is this about right for a boat of this size/age? There also seems to be a lot fewer boats for sale around this length? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Many thanks, Katherine

Hi, As mentioned in a previous post we have been searching for our narrowboat for a couple of months now. We seem to have narrowed it down to 55-60foot, well maintained, semi-trad/cruiser, budget upto £70,000, don't mind layout, looking to DIY to maintain, but not wanting a big project e,g change kitchen or pull out floorboards (hopefully not). We seem to be drawn to Aqualine/Amber style boats and have heard/read positive things about them. We may have narrowed out search criteria a bit too early though. Can anyone recommend any other similar boat builders? Or offer any other helpful hints for searching for the first narrowboat? Many Thanks

Thank you for his, that sounds great. I will send you an email.

This is really helpful, thank you! Perfect, thank you - will give this a go!

Hi, new to canal world and been searching for our first boat for a couple of months now. Can anyone recommend a detailed book that covers narrowboat maintenance/DIY? Many thanks.
