Twelfth scale narrowboat for sale

[by'eck]

Seems a tad expensive at £5,000 but looks realistic

 

 

22" narrowboat

[Graham Davis]

Lots of details in the advert.................................................................NOT!

[MtB]

Looks more like 22ft to me than 22"...

No it is 22", they are bonsai trees behind it.

What's that hole in the bow, below the waterline? And why was it craned out with all that tat on the roof and hanging down the sides??

Brokers View:

While in need of some improvements and repairs, this sturdy narrow boat can provide a great cruising vessel, combined with the potential overnight accommodation. In need of refurbishment throughout, the current state must be overlooked in order to see the true potential. A Honda outboard engine provides the thrust. Viewings are recommended.

Please contact us for further information.

 

!!!!!! - Broker must have been taking lessons from an estate agent.

 

It certainly is displayed well for a quick sale - NOT.

It's a springer...

Is it? It has a moustache and a V hull but it doesn't look quite the right shape for a springer.

I am glad to see he has his fenders out when moored! Fender etiquette is very important.

 

I am concerned that using a bicycle as a fender might not work all that well!

It's a Springer Out Of WaterBug.
