🚤✨ FOR SALE: “Tranquillo” – 45ft Narrowboat | £20,000 | Available Immediately ✨🚤
Meet Tranquillo — a uniqeuly eclectic boat with some wonderful interior touches which are carry through a nautical theme throughout internally.
The boat was repainted around 3 years ago by a well respected boat painter in the North West and has some lovely unique hand painted sign writing.
Powered by an inboard Vetus M4.17 engine and benefiting from a cratch and pram cover. Would make an excellent holiday boat or liveaboard. There is a pullman dinnette which could be converted into a fixed double cabin if the flexibility of the pullman dinnette isn’t required.
The boat does have some hull work required which has been highlighted in the survey on the full advert at www.middlewichwharf.co.uk/tranquillo/ at the back of the survey there is also a copy of the latest BSS and an estimate for the works highlighted in the survey to give an indication to any potential purchaser of the potential additional works costs.
