The definition of a houseboat excludes launches, so the definition of a launch must have priority. 

 

A narrowboat that isn't mechanically propelled (doesn't have an engine/motor) might be considered a houseboat under some circumstances, but it's not guaranteed. 

 

CRT consider a butty to be a powered craft as it's usually towed by a powered boat, but I don't know if the EA do the same.

 

 

 

An empty unconverted butty being towed by a ''tug'' travels toll free. A lock keeper told me that a butty with a cabin longer than 13' would be classed as a houseboat ( but I've never checked to see if he was correct ) and subject to a Houseboat registration ( licence ) fee.

A narrowboat is a launch in term of EA licensing

I think I've gathered that thank you.

However I still find the EA guidance unnecessarily ambiguous.

Its amazing how someone half way around the world (in Florida) understands the EA licencing requirements better than a 'local'.

Not really very amazing, the only 2 Floridian posts made are direct copies of others in the topics!

Sorry, maybe I should have found a sarcasm smiley.
