'Narrow escape' is a steel hull Narrowboat built in 1986.  She was last surveyed in 2022 (taken out the water to do so) which showed a mostly overplated underside, with some overplating still required to the counter bottom (est £1200+VAT at the time). The survey noted that 'it is unlikely there would be a need for significant further hull repairs in the short to medium term'. She has been insulated with fibreglass insulation below the gunwales.

Inventory (as of last visit): 
2x 100w solar panels
1250V inverter
3 Leisure batteries and 1 Yuasa starter battery
2 new anodes fitted in June 2018
Plumbing and infrastructure for kitchen and bathroom including shower pump and disconnected calorifier 
Plumbing and infrastructure for pump out toilet
Large water tank in bow
Multifuel wood burner not installed 
Fibreglass insulation below gunwales.
Several sheets of plywood, paint, some electrical parts and a couple of pieces of old furniture (fold out table and small sofa).

Although not complete inside, her plumbing and infrastructure for kitchen and bathroom including shower pump and disconnected calorifier has been completed; on top of the plumbing for the pump-out toilet and a watertank fitted to the bow. Although not installed, it is reported to have a woodburner. As it stands she has no BSS.

Although in need of work to complete, she offers great opportunity to break in to the narrowboat world, whether this is to live on permanently, or as a home away from home. The current owner had to retire from the project due to health issues.
