Anyone know anything about selling canal boats?
 

My mate and I have a widebeam canal boat we need to shift, it's at a marina and is up for sale, but I wonder if anyone here knows any good places to advertise it.

I confess to knowing little about selling canal boats.... it's a long story as to how I come to own it in the first place... the things you decide to do to help people LOL!

Anyway any help is appreciated.

P.S. I know I asked this before a good while ago but I can't seem to find the thread!

If you can demonstrate it planing you will be overcome with offers!

Good luck anyway.

Les :D

Cherers for the sensible replies and thanks tubs.... you always make me laugh. Hey it has a stick on roof vent and stickers ;)

I wouldnt touch it with a barge pole !!!

:facepalm2:

Does it come in p1 blue

If it has a BCS Bowthruster, that will half the selling price! :D

..."I'm surprised nobody's asked for pictures yet "...

typical f1 wasting all our time ;)

Cheers, I was trying to find that yesterday but it wouldn't come up... mind you was doing it from an iPhone so no wonder ;)

Yeah we decided to keep it and rent it out for a year, but nothing came of it with one thing and another so now we need rid of it.... I don't think renting holiday canal boats has that much of a future given our weather these days.

did funkii edit the link to make it appear as anal boat :Suspiciou

:lol:

Not wanting to de-rail a seriious thread, But I have this weird pipe-dream of fitting two Evinrude/johnson 2 stroke V8s on the back of a barge and then see what it'll do.

(Probbaly not much speed-wise, but it'll sound awesome down a canal tunnel :D:D )

Holy cow your going back a bit to remember v8 johnnyrudes.
A modern 150-200 merc optimax would be a little more easy on the wallet to fuel.
I used to run a boats and jetski classified website a few years ago and there are special canal boat brokerage businesses that would sell or buy your boat. google canal boat brokerage and see where it takes you.

Ali, it got de-railed a good while ago... you're fine :D

this thread is sinking slowly.

Can you pm me details as my partners brother may be interested. :thumb:

I posted a link to this thread on her facebook page.

Cheers, Maz has already contacted her and she had given me some good advice of where and how to advertise it.

It would get you a speeding ticket!
Seriously I think the speed limit is about 5 mph on the canal. :)

With regards to the selling of the boat, i'll ask the in laws, they are on their second yet, and I know that advertised it in a few places.

Not sure if it will help, but if you look on the British Waterways website, maybe that will have a few links to websites that might help you out?
