Narrowboat Isis

[dor]

I've just come across an old boat of mine for sale :  https://www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk/Canal-Narrow-Boats-for-sale/sm-9509-isis-cruiser-stern-narrowboat/208356

 

If anyone on here is thinking of buying it and wants some history them feel free to contact me.  (It needed over plating when I sold it ten years ago - I'm surprised it is still floating unless it has been patched!)

 

I do wonder if whenever I mention the name of the boat whether a computer in GCHQ goes 'ping'...

According to the sales blurb she still needs overplating!

I see that she comes with a "Throneycroft", perhaps a toilet in the engine room?

Just goes to illustrate that overplating is rarely as urgent as surveyors would have their customers believe.

...unless, of course, it was overplated and that layer is now wearing through.

Highly unlikely in just ten years.

I reckon someone will snap this up.  Live on it for 5 years, not overplate it and sell it in 5 years time at 20k needing overplating.

not to sure if its a bargain though..
