RLWP Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 If you check here: https://canalplan.eu/boats/boats.php There are about a dozen boats built by 'Burton Narrowboats' Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura hinks Posted November 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Thanks Richard. Im looking to find out if they are any good or if they have any known problems at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLWP Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 I understand that. Firstly, if they built about a dozen, they must have been moderately successful. They didn't build one then go bust. Secondly, there are 33,000 canal boats in the UK. You are looking for the owners of twelve of these on a forum that is only a small fraction of the boat owning population. You might get lucky, certainly worth a try Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athy Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Were they anything to do with Jannel Cruisers, the long-running hire company in Burton? If so, I'd imagine that they were built to a reasonable standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
