52' Tug Style narrowboat canal boat traditional back cabin.
52' tug style narrowong>boatong>, steel work by Martin Brooks in the style of a Les Allen ong>boatong>. Bob Allen helped Martin out in the early stages of building this ong>boatong>. It is fitted with a Sabb 2G marine engine with Sabbs ong>heavyong> ong>dutyong> gear box. This ong>boatong> is an unfinished project but all the big and hard work has been done its just the finishing off, the living room and kitchen are the most unfinished. The back cabin requires 2 draws under the bed, ticket draw and moulding fitting (supplied) otherwise is grained out and ready to go includes, cooking range, light fittings and cushions. The engine room needs some cupboard doors and a bit of pipe boxing and ong>cableong> trunking, nothing too serious. The bathroom need a few chamfers plaining onto capping strips, front of shower tray capping strip and a skylight surround plus varnishing, comes with shower, sink and portapotty. There is a small wardrobe to the right of the bathroom door, to the left os the door is a unfired Kabola E3 diesel central heating boiler with some of the connecting plumbing done to the calorifier which is also connected to the engine. The kitchen has a full size marine gas cooker used once. A batts 12V marine fridge, there is a Morco gas water heater and an unfinished drank unit, the sink is installed, comes with oak shaker style wooden draw fronts and cupboard doors these are still wrapped and unfitted. The from of the ong>boatong> is lined but unfitted as is under the tug deck area. There is a seaflex water tank and a water pump at the front of the ong>boatong> and immediately above the water tank is a large tank which was intended for diesel heating fuel. The front of the ong>boatong> has a gas locker. The gas system and water system both work and passed the last ong>boatong> safety (expires ) The electric system comprised of a single alternator with a split charge relay 3 domestic battery and one engine battery. The wiring is in for the lights, fridge and water pump, with other wires routed through but not connected. Engine electrics have a small control panel with a fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge and volt meter. The fuel gauge can be switched between the main tank and the engine header tank/ day tank. There is a manual hand pump and an electric pump to fill the day tank. All this works. The engine had a comprehensive overhaul before being put into the ong>boatong>, really just needs a coat of paint and a polish. The shafting to the rear of the ong>boatong> is a carden shaft (lorry prop shaft) connected to a tail shaft that is supported in 2 thrust bearings. The hull was backed around around last September using 2pk epoxy pitch. Spare engine available. Only selling due to no time to finish and use, plus many more on the go projects. We have only been out and about just a handful of times it is fully useable and can be sailed away. The ong>boatong> is currently moored at Dadfords Wharf, Stourbridge, a mooring is available if required with agreement from the landlord. PLEASE EMAIL FOR LOTS MORE PHOTOGRAPHS.
