Description

'The Gordon B' is a 60ft Traditional stern narrowboat built by the highly regarded Peter Nicholls in 1982. The boat is powered by a BMC four cylinder diesel engine coupled with a Borg Warner hydraulic type gearbox. Heating is provided by a Webasto diesel heating system feeding four radiators, complemented by a Morso Squirrel multi-fuel stove in the saloon. Externally, the paintwork has weathered over time and is now showing signs of fading, whilst internally the boat would benefit from some investment and modernisation.
