It must be a huge widebeam if the internal beam is 14' 5" (It doesn't look that wide in the photos)

 

 

 

 

 

 

And only £194/month repayments !

I thought it looked familiar, J watched a couple of his vids over Xmas before getting annoyed with him

The small print does say approximate...

Its a narrow boat, not a wide beam.

Something odd then.

What an annoying individual.

Looks like London White has arrived in Manchester.

If it comes with a guaranteed New Islington mooring then its probably a reasonable price, especially with the extra durability of a plywood top 😀

As shown, no access from stern into cabin?

How do you get an "A" EPC on a boat? With an open flue solid fuel stove, windows, wood top?

The EPC ticky box must be filled in when listing it. Not applicable need not apply. Same with council tax, though residential moorings with council tax are a thing.

I think you hve confused the brochure :

 

It has an A band Council Tax rating and a -EPC Exempt note

A few BSS fails? The fire extinguishers could be in the cupboard.

The idea of having to walk all round the boat just to get from the tiller to inside seems utterly bonkers. Not only that but it doesn't appear that there is any other form of emergency escape (houdini/side hatch/opening window). The one entrance/exit at the bow is next to the galley, where I imagine a fire taking hold is not inconceivable. Wires in galley look unfinished, boat is bland 'London white', no mention of mooring or transferability, older hull with new ply and GRP superstructure. It will appeal to a newby who won't pick up on 'boat' things.

Interesting water pump, I take it 240 volt

Gas pipework to boiler has soldered joints. Next BSS will be interesting.

Maybe they are a silver-brazed

 

Is that gas or water ?

 

– brazed joints are also permitted, but examiners must take particular care when endeavouring to determine whether such connections are brazed or soft-soldered (which are not permitted).

Both and all.  It looks like solder not braze, instant fail.

100% narrowbeam, although the wide angle bed shot could be 20 feet across

Do you need a BSC in New Islington Marina?

Gosh, let's hope Manchester isn't about to be the next slum!

There'd be some broken hearts if it joined London 

Personally I'd avoid Manchester, contaminated by the Cheshire set. 

Birmingham would be my choice of an honest city populated by good people  every day of the week.

According to the marina t&cs you need a CRT licence, valid BSS and insurance.
