Thanks for this, really helpful! We are new to boat life don’t want to make too many mistakes, appreciate your comment. Yes I agree it only made sense to have electric tap & shower if no other means were needed but makes sense to go a different route. Thanks for your advice.

Thanks for your reply, I’m pretty sure there’s a calorifier, there’s also an very very old rinnai heater in the kitchen, wondering if it’s better to just replace this so I don’t have to rely on electric but not sure the best way to go.

Refitting an old boat out currently to live aboard with family (2 adults 3 children) so fairly instant hot water necessary, we plan to stay in marinas 95% of the time, maybe a day or two cruising at a time in the summer but I imagine we’ll have a hook up for the majority of our days, so, is an electric hot tap for kitchen & electric shower do able? Haven’t seen the taps fitted in any boats we’ve come across so wondered if anyone has one & could comment or is it just not a good idea. Any advice appreciated. Tia.

Hi thanks all, just to save confusion is it industry narrowboats I’m looking for? As that’s what I’m finding on google when looking for stretton thanks

Thanks everyone - we aren’t sorting transport the seller is so I’ll see what they come up with tried calling caggys and Martin Brookes a couple of times yesterday with no answer, might have to wait it out and see if ashwood can fit us in next month now.

Hi all first time posting in the process of buying a boat which is currently in Yorkshire and is being transported by road to a place of our choosing we have a winter mooring in Stourbridge by the bonded warehouse but need somewhere to get the boat into the water that’s close by. We have tried Ashwood Marina but they only crane once a month and have just had this months already so we’re looking for other possibilities now Tia Catherine
