Vendors Comments
Mr B says "I have owned the barge for 30 years and as a fully qualified Marine Engineer with over 45 years of experience I have lovingly maintained the vessel to a high standard. If you are looking for a comfortable home with the option to go cruising, then this is the boat for you". Mr B continues "I will be sad to see her go but unfortunately I'm no in my late 60s with health problems and its time to let go so grab yourself a bargain as this is priced well below market value for a quick sale.
There is also a business opportunity as I ran river trips for three years which went well and currently the vessel is MCA coded for usage with 12 passengers.
