Hello, My narrow boat has the stove flue feed through the sidewall. It draws fine. Has anyone else heard or had this design? I've only seen them on wide beams. -
I have a 12" wide, 8" deep, 64" long mattress. Yes, that's right, for a very narrow person!! But seriously, it was purchased as an 'add in' for our boat to create a pull out king size bed, the 12" section was rolled into the gap by the gunnel when the bed was pulled out. Due to a change of plan this is now surplus to requirements. The mattress is fully sprung and was made by a specialist mattress maker in Tamworth (it cost nearly as much as the matching 4' mattress), although 7 years old this addition has never really had any use. It is offered free, but needs to be collected from Droitwich Spa marina. If you are interested let me know and I will advise you when I shall be at the boat.

Does anyone know of anywhere that are still doing mortgages or loans? Obviously its not the most ideal way of buying a boat, but we would rather put the money into a mortgage on a boat than say renting a place with nothing to show for it after 10years. Sure we could get a house mortgage to mitigate this, but that required a big deposit and more importantly, knowing where you want to live for a long time. It seems most of the reliable places have stopped doing them pegasus marine finance seem to be the only option, anyone have any experience with them? Thanks, Alex.

Firstly this is my first post in the community so hey! I am a recent graphic design graduate along with my girlfriend. After spending some time finding work that suites us both we decided to give a start up studio a go. One decision lead to another and we found our selves looking at Narrow boats. Assuming some how we can find the money through a loan or mortgage to get a Narrow boat, we were wondering if it would be practical to have a liveonboat that could double as a small design studio for us both. Not only does the lifestyle suite us down to a tee, but it could be a really nice, quirky way of setting up a new business (taking the 'studio' to potential new clients etc) which could be a great selling point. Obviously this raises lots of questions, -A wide boat would be best, however this limits our cruising -continuous vs marina -enough internet to keep us both online -would you need extra licensing? Ideally in the future we would love 2 boats, 1 designed as a studio and kitted out as such, and the other a live-on but obviously acquiring 1 boat straight out of uni is hard enough, never mind 2. If anyone has any advice on the idea, or Narrow boating in general it would be greatly appreciated Thanks, Alex
