I used to paint cars and cycles professionally for about 20 years and was also a hand sign writer for the same amount of time approximately along side it,I sell my own art now for a living so don’t see it being something that’s above me I just don’t have the time and just wanted to know if it was even worth it that’s all but thanks for your reply. stephen

Hi, firstly I don’t know anything about narrow boats but I have inherited a 2007 50ft ovation narrowboat. the interior is near mint condition and it has central heating with 3 radiators and the boat seems solid but definitely needs new paint as it’s cracked and peeling in places quiet badly. my question is do I sell it as is at a lower price or is it worth the time and effort to get it professionally painted to get more for it ? I’ve seen prices ranging from £8000 to much much higher but if I’d only get the same for it once I’d got my £8000 back then it seems pointless. I’d attempt it myself but haven’t got the time plus it’s 45 miles away from where I live. any advice will be greatly appreciated. thanks stephen
