Built in 1988 by R& D Fabrications, this sociable cruiser stern narrowboat has all the basics that you may need to start life afloat. Heating is via a solid fuel stove with a gravity fed back boiler which sends hot water through large diameter piping to radiators. A copious amount of hot water is provided by the instantaneous water heater and is always available for showering in the wet room.
Accommodation is currently for two with a permanent double bed at the aft, although the mid-ships saloon area has space for freestanding furniture and you may choose to include a sofa bed for any overnight guests. When the landline is disconnected, 230V power is provided by the 2.2kW inverter with a separate Sterling 30A battery charger and 500W of solar keeping the batteries topped up.
In The Buff was blacked in 2023 and the engine was serviced by an engineer in October 2023. She also has a Boat Safety Scheme certificate valid until October 2027.
It has to be said that In The Buff is in need of some TLC to bring her back up to her former glory, but at this price, she may be the perfect starter boat for you to get on the water and 'do up' as and when time allows.
