Pick of the week - Windrush

nb Windrush  - for sale with Wilton Marina

Originally: £44,950, Reduced To: £39,950

This is an older boat but it has sprayfoam insulation so we wouldn't discount it.  The price makes it an appealing proposition!  There would be a few things we'd want to change or add but there would be money in our budget to do those things.

Pick of the week - Emma Jane

Here's a narrowboat we saw listed with Whilton Marina and we like it!  nb Emma Jane priced at £54,950.

We're interested in opinions on Pro-Build and Piper.  What do you think??

Positives : we like the colour, the interior is light, excellent cupboard space in the galley, lovely finish
Negatives : doesn't appear to be much shelving/cupboards in saloon, bed needs extending or turning, needs cratch and cover, we'd prefer a slightly shorter boat

Pick of the week - Friendship

This boat is for sale with Whilton Marina.  nb Friendship  Price: £54,950
Positives : the built in shelving in the saloon is great, there's lots of cupboards, we like the blue paintwork, the layout is how we'd prefer
Negatives : there's money to be spent on a cratch and cover, it's a bit dark as there is only one set of windows - the rest are portholes, the red tiles in the bathroom make that room dark too, that toilet lid has to go!
