**Price Reduction** - KERF 61ft 10in trad with BMC narrowboat with 4 berths.
Norton Canes Boatbuilders is a direct descendant of M E Braine, who were involved in restoring and repairing working boats and were regarded as the aristocrat of narrowboat builders in the `70s and `80s with the tradition then carried on by Graham Edgson.
... Kerf has to be described as in need of some TLC, if you are handy with a paintbrush, the exterior could once again be brought back to life.
The Boatman’s cabin could have a range installed and needs cushions for the side and cross beds. The engine room has scope for addition of cupboards and other storage, but it is not all doom and gloom as this work could be carried out as time allowed.
Fitted with a Lister LPWS4 diesel engine and a Nobel bow thruster. Built in 2000.
Located on the G U Canal, Leics - £42,000

WATER SONG 57ft 3in semi-trad narrowboat with 4 berths.

The cratch covered well deck provides seating whatever the weather, whilst the semi-trad deck is protected by a fitted tonneau cover when you leave the boat.
Built in 2004 and has an Iuzu IM4LC38 diesel engine.

LUSKENTYRE
53ft 8in (plus 6in fender stud) semi-trad narrowboat with 4 berths.
... These days the most popular length of a narrowboat seems to be around the 60ft mark, but there are a lot of benefits to owning a slightly shorter boat, finding a mooring at popular locations, less expensive CRT license and home mooring fees with of course lower maintenance costs.
Luskentyre was certainly built to last with good use being made of hardwearing, easy care surfaces and materials.
The REVERSE LAYOUT cabin with her two sleeping compartments either side of the bathroom, make her equally suitable for two couples or as a family boat.
A well proven, gutsy BMC 1.8 engine provides motive power whilst the bow thruster aids manoeuvrability.
