Lola
A 70ft 1997 GT Boatbuilders Stafford traditional stern narrowboat.
- £30,000.00
Lola is a 70ft narrowboat with a traditional stern, built in 1997 by GT Boatbuilders of Stafford. Powered by a 1996 Lister Petter diesel engine, last serviced in 2025 by Marine Engine Service (Midlands) She offers a spacious interior layout that’s ready for a complete refurbishment—ideal for someone looking to take on a full restoration project and create a truly bespoke space.
The bathroom is fitted with a bath and cassette toilet, and the galley includes a sink, oven, and stovetop. Three solar panels are installed, providing a good base for future off-grid capability once the electrical systems are restored.
She comes with a valid Boat Safety Scheme (BSS) certificate until 15th December 2025, offering a helpful head start for a new owner beginning the refit process.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a hands-on buyer looking to bring a traditional narrowboat back to life with their own style and vision.
Lola is currently moored at Springwood Haven Marina. To find out more or to arrange a viewing, please contact the marina directly on 02476 393676.
