Hi, welcome to my listing for my beautiful newly fitted narrow boat, Birdie. It’s been a labour of love! She’s been mostly fitted out by myself having bought her part complete. So far, I’ve fitted out 5 narrow boats to a high standard. Birdie is modern, sleek but with a homely feel with her shaker kitchen, solid Oak floor and trims, and warm lights. She’s been well very looked after and it shows in the condition of the hull. Birdie was built in 2000 by Soar Valley who are well know for producing high quality boats.Year: 2000Style: Trad SternLength: 50ftDraught: 30”Berths: 4Original Steel Thicknesses: 10:6:4Boat Safety: Will come with 4 yearsHull: Very good condition. She’s on hardstanding near leicester so you’re welcome to inspect the hull yourself before getting a survey.Insulation: Spray Foam. I wouldn’t buy a boat with any other type as spray foam is a must for Narrow Boats as its reduces the condensation the most.Engine: Thornycroft water cooled. Please note the engine will need a service and new engine mounts, alternator bracket, some wiring. This was the last job on my list, if I have time I will try to get these bits done, if not we can negotiate the price to reflect the cost of getting it done yourself.

This amazing bit of kit charges the batteries from both shoreline/mains power and solar power at the same time! It also inverts the battery power to 240v mains power!
