Nice, but the ikea look is played out 🤢🤮

No it's not a lot of the canals will only take a narrow boat.

The thing about wide beams is that they are in practice gentrifying the waterways system. When the canal system was saved from closure in the 60s there were next to no broad beams anywhere on the system, and those people who had leisure boats were all narrow (to the extent that many live aboards used old converted working narrowboats. These old timers valued the industrial history and the heritage of the working boat families just as much as they did the scenery and the closeness to nature. Up to the 90s it was the norm for people to buy a "shell" and spend a year or so fitting the boat out. The canals were a place primarily for working class, ordinary people to follow an interest that was affordable. Now we have wide beam boats that cost more than narrowboats - that are bought by people with the wealth to pay others to fit them out (and presumably maintain and dry dock them too) - and most importantly want to be on the water for "life style" choices. Whilst there's no compunction for people to have any connection or interest in the community they are joining - imo (after almost 30 years afloat) the superficial nature of most wide beam live aboards lessens our community. If you want to experience the inland waterways properly, take as much interest in the history of the system and the lives of those who worked it - and that can't properly be done on a boat that can only visit a third of the system. Just my opinion.

It's for sale again if anyone is interested

Would like to see more white beans new high-class punch and prices

Wide beams do not fit all the canal systems so a major drawback I’m afraid!

Do you build these with solar/Electric motors for quiet , ecosystem operation with enough solar to power the boat?

All the canals in the UK?

Wonderfull 👍

Why do you refer to a hunk of fabricated wood & metal as `She’, Is that for effect? What if `the boat` wanted to identify as a tray of fish n chips or a shopping trolly. Can we instead please refer to the boat as a Pot Noodle (curry flavour) please?

Drab Wood colour, boring interior, out dated style.. When will boat builders snap out of the continuous ,relentless styling.. The outside and the boat structure is beautiful. Yes, I know this vid is a few yrs old..but in 2021..much of the same

Why don't these boats have a 'murphy bed' ?

Always shocked at how much space is waster on Wide beams, it's like the designer just gave up? those square corners in the kitchen ? I don't think so. ONE bedroom ? LOL poor design, sorry

odd filming. you film the kitchen from the sitting room area and simply talk about the kitchen and the freezer being near the bar stools then you don't actually film around the bathroom or the bedroom with the cameraman filming the tour guide and not the bedroom itself. looks a pleasant enough boat but not showing things because the cameraman is shy is not doing anyone any favours.

Dear gentlemen who make these house boats, because they only make one bedroom? And so much field that make n l dining room and living room, with that wasted space dig a small bedroom

widebeams cannot access all canals in the UK

Why, why, WHY do the designers insist on putting the sink and stove on opposite sides of the galley! So impractical when it comes to straining vegetables etc. Would be a deal-breaker for me.

I live across the street from this

It amazes me what they say you can claim the VAT back I have friends who have purchased boats as live aboard s and it's near impossible to claim your vat back it all spans from a old maritime rule

Hideous

How many have been built.

Used to be the NCB head quarters. And I'd like to take the opportunity to thank AJS for their sponsorship of the Coleorton litter picking, a local firm putting something back in the the community.

I really like that boat

Although it's 7 years old offer Anyhow it's price please

What was the selling price?

Incinerator toilet, fantastic.

No one has mentioned the price

Why does this feel like this was made in the 1980's

Incinerator toilets are fairly common on Fishing vessels.

Great boat would love this one

Where is the link to Bentons?

Would love a wide beam

Far too much housework

Nice video, so can i assume that with a 10 wide boat you can travel up North? As there is a North South divide where you can't take a wide boat up North so i am told? The other option is to get a narrow boat, but i would like to get something a little wider.

Spot on Dave how the hell did he think he would get away with that, obviously not a beater or he would know can only be used in the North or South not all

How much is the house pls

Well, I used to be lazy & complacent about doing the lottery....BUT these superb videos have shown me the error of my ways!!

How much

Nice boat but certainly too wide with a beam of 10 feet to be able to navigate all the canals in the UK. That is unless along with the bow thrusters she has a hover mode!

Love to see a Kenworth k270 Dressed up like that

Do any Americans ever buy your boats to live on the UK canals?

And you can't claim VAT back on this boat even if it's your primary residence. The vat exemption rules for boats are quite complex but I'm sure a 10ft widebeam doesn't comply.

The TV’s not that “cleverly hidden behind the door” or you wouldn’t have found it!
