Then you have the elderly who finally achieve their dream of living on a boat, only to find that they underestimated the demands of the locks.
I can see that. See it here often with campers who buy mobile homes late in life. If I choose to ever get a narrow boat I better hurry before I get in this category 😂
Yeah!
The prices of narrowboats vary a lot.
We were after a particular boat for a long time and missed it. As soon as we got this boat, it returned to the market 2 weeks later. It's 15 feet longer for the same price. I count it as a blessing though, because our boat needed no work whatsoever, whereas that one might have needed some urgent TLC or bigger engine work.
We love this one and we're comfortable in this space, but still on the look out for a great deal so we could trade it in for a bigger boat:)
