Whippet Express
Price: £59,000
- 3 berth
- Location: Gayton Marina
A 60ft 2001 3 berth semi-traditional stern narrowboat.
An opportunity to purchase an extremely well-equipped and sizeable narrowboat, with the added benefits of having had 4 new anodes fitted in 2022 and being blacked and serviced in April 2023.
Whippet Express has a fairly unassuming exterior, painted in soothing pale green tones, but wait until you get inside! A riot of colour and patterns lie in wait for you as you descend through the stern doors into the first cabin, which holds a fixed single berth and plentiful storage cupboards, as well as a very useful washing machine/dryer. Next to this is a utility-type room with a washbasin, further storage, and a hanging rail for clothes.
A fixed double berth sits in the centre of the boat with wall-mounted tv above. This is adjacent to the bathroom, which is imaginatively decorated and tiled and contains a further washbasin, pump-out toilet and corner shower cubicle.
The bow of the boat is given over to a large open plan galley and saloon area. The galley has plenty of work surfaces and storage cupboards, together with all the usual kitchen appliances including oven, hob, fridge and microwave oven.
A cheerful and colourful saloon features a solid-fuel stove, large sofa, dining table with stools and steps up to the double bow doors.
The bow deck itself is protected by a cratch cover and has bench seating/locker space.
6 x solar panels adorn the roof and there is a MPPT solar charge controller.
