26ft Springer Cruiser Stern Narrowboat For Sale

A very well cared for Springer offering an excellent opportunity to get on the water for weekends and short breaks at minimal cost. At 26ft you can spin the boat round almost anywhere on the canal and maintenance, mooring and licence costs are low. The interior fit out in oak faced ply is very much in the caravan style as the space is very similar in size. There are 3 berths - a make up crossways double and a short (5ft 9in long) single. The cruiser stern offers a pleasant area for family and friends whilst cruising. The solid fuel stove provides heating if required, although it appears to be in need of repair or replacement (the present owners never used it). All in all a great starter boat at a very keen price.
