Paint it a nice shade of pink and put a nice pink sail at the front to help you control the front end as well as add some nice aesthetic touches.

I'm not sure....it looks a bit like a willy.

Thats not my rubish mooring skills. Its a picture I've pinched from the advert when it was being sold. Looks a fair bit tattier than that now

Tell you what though if it was abit more nimble I could have fun wirh scuzies mod and a tunnel/bridge

DingleBerry,
i recognise her. Moored up in bath no less, on the K&A?
On the painting front, perfect shape for an aligator head maybe.
laters

That she was! Untill I bought her and brought her to Lancaster.

can I be the first pedant to say ;
Its not a barge its a bloody Narrowboat

I spend a lot of time running by the canal and narrowboat owners get very upset when you call them barges.

True....but pimp my barge scans a touch better than pimp my narrowboat. Plus mines more of a barge anyway!

We had it valued at around 19k. It's 70ft with 2 bathrooms has 2 fixed double beds.
I'm at work at the moment and don't no a lot more about it but my other half does as she did live on it for a while with her dad.

Let me know if you want to more.
Thanks..

Unless its a bit of a shed I would think it was worth more than that. Especialy if its 70ft. Have a look at apollo duck, its a good place to sell them and get a good idea of what things are worth. I saw an absolute hole of a 70ft one for about 50k I think it was. I suppose it all depends on the condition of the hull.
