Only just discovered that KEDIAN has a web-site, so here's the link to show you some more of what they do.

A couple of points.

Might not be the easiest boat to rope up in locks.

Access to the small front deck looks tricky from inside and you'll have to figure out a technique to tie up the stern.

 

If you're considering taking the boat to the continent this one is really not geared up for it in big, violent locks.

 

A friend owns a boat by this builder, they are not known for their aesthetic appeal, but theirs is slow in the water. Your engine is big enough but it's not the only consideration to efficiency.

 

Bon chance

 

I'll qualify my earlier statement. Having spoken to my friend who knows 2 narrowboats by the same builder he says that they have a similar engine to yours and are 'more than adequate' regarding speed through the water.

A 'road test' will confirm / deny.
