Narrowboat for sale (power)

A river/canal boat narrowboat is a traditional type of shallow draft boat used primarily in small rivers and canals. It is smaller than a normal modern boat and has a shallow draft which allows it to navigate the narrow locks of canals. The narrowboat was designed for living on board and has a living area, small kitchen and bathroom in addition to the helm. Narrowboats are usually made from wood, steel, or aluminium and may be finished with paint, fittings, and decorations to suit the owner's taste. They are usually powered by a single engine, petrol, diesel or electric motor and can even be propelled by a paddlewheel, pole, or propeller. Narrowboats are often used for recreational purposes but may also be used for transportation, such as cargo or livestock in some European countries.
