I am now a narrowboat owner!

[canals are us?]

Well I have finally bought a 1999 50ft Liverpool built Trad narrowboat The full survey was last Sunday and everything was in good condition except a few points. One it's in desperate need of blacking and new anodes (Expected) and the other items are just basic things really.

I am so pleased with my purchase but had to increase my budget slightly. I am really looking forward to life afloat, moving aboard Monday I will take some pictures when I visit the boat tomorrow.

 

I have been very busy ordering things and sorting everything out .

Thanks everyone Loved the captain James bit

 

Now the fun begins! I can't believe I was lucky enough to find such a good narrowboat in my modest budget. When I went onboard I thought this is the one.

When I move aboard I know I'm bound to have some questions for your good selves.

I would also like to thank all the members who answered my previous questions

Good luck with the survey comfortably numb.

 

Pictures tomorrow

Congratulations, canals are us?. I think you should ask an admin to change your question mark into an exclamation mark, as you've clearly answered the question!
