Beautiful in many aspects. Too much gray for me, but im sure that can be changed per order/owner. Looks very peaceful and inviting. We don't have these here in the US, which is a shame. It would be wonderful to have a residential area of nothing but these taking up so little space.
This is the most beautiful boat / tiny home I've seen, out of handreds. So much talent, work & soul is put into it.... May you have happy travels & joy living in it!
Stunning! Love the neutral palate with the grays and whites. Very clean looking for the lines and finish. Great craftsmanship showing there, and the dramatic music frames it all so well.
DRAMATIC! - Yes, the vlog ..... the music too ..... the visuals ..... but most of all, this floating, mobile palace which YOU have made to be your home. Total congratulations on design, execution and your patience over many months. Thank you for sharing - may God bless you and grant that you both have every happiness in your journeyings.
I’ve had the pleasure of watching this entire set of videos over the last couple of days! What an excellent build well done. Would love to see an update video for sure
Looking at your boat makes me work harder for myself and build something like that. There’s no one thing bad I can say about it except for the price 😂 this boat looks amazing from every angle 📐
How much was it ? Baring in mind he did a lot of the work . I would like him to work with me on my dream boat. Perhaps you know someone who has the same degree of care, detailing etc ?
This is by far the nicest and my personal favorite of the dozens upon dozens of similar boats(narrowboats) that I have seen. Clean, simple, classy, practical, and liveable. Bravo
I have seen some beautiful boat builds on RU-vid but this is something else it makes me wish my wife and I had not got such health issues and were younger I could buy this in a heartbeat beat and think I had gone to heaven , really envy you but wish you all the best wishes,you must be so proud.
THIS IS THE MOST MAZING NARROW BOAT. I would say i could live on this but the canal network is not friendly to widebeams and i think that problem should be fixed so all the networks can be reached and have a few canals to travel on.
@@northernbuoy1 it’s stunning and the attention to detail is first class! One of these days I’ll have a boat like this, just like this, in fact this one would be perfect lol 😉😂😂
Brilliant work and very inspiring, may I ask where did you buy the cupboards, and couch from please, and what did you use for kitchen flooring, also does this hob pass the boat safety certification, thank you for all the tips, we are in the process and will use loads of your tips mentioned on previous videos
I wonder if putting the kitchen in the middle of the boat and the saloon at the back would stop it leaning backwards ?, I do see a lot of boats on the canal that seem ready for take off.
Fabolous, better than a commercially built wide beam. Must be an expensive boat . Will you keep it for yourself. If you ever want to sell it message me.
If I lived in England and wanted a wide beam boat this would be the one. Exquisite interior and so roomy. Need a press gang to come get me from the U.S.
You have done a wonderful job. You have given a lot of thought to it. I am looking for a boat builder to help me build my dream boat,, can you recommend anyone who has the same attention to detail as you do? Thank you 2:48
I do apologise. I have previously answered it in another comment. I have just had a valuation completed by a marine surveyor who has valued it at £175-179,000.
I was impressed by Northern Buoy but this eclipses that. I'm learning so much from your vlogs thanks. 57' - because...? That allows access to any lock in the UK I'm guessing. And 10'6" opens up more of the wider canal channels than the very widebeamer presumably? Thanks for the info. PS I'm guessing you're from Thornaby or thereabouts. Hence Northern Buoy?
Keep Living the Dream, Stunning job, can you tell us how much are living cost i.e berthing fee's for the size of boat, rubbish collections, mail deliveries, running cost for Diesel, insurance etc etc
Windows are small because when you are out on the cut people look in a lot. Having portholes reduces that but we still get lots of light from the two roof lights.
@@northernbuoy1 OK It just seems like you have these great views and all this real estate you can use for window, but you use these tiny porthole Guess that's what personal preference and customization is about. Love the canals and the narrowboats Thanks for writing
Well the first boat arrived with ballast, floor, battened and foamed where as this one was just a bare metal shell. Then wheelhouse, tiled floors, underfloor heating, etc etc all extra work but glad to see you have been paying attention.
@@northernbuoy1 ...... You can't leave us hanging........ What was the appraisal. I'm going for £170,000? I understand the reluctance to talk money, but, for those of us inspired by people like you, knowing what can be achieved for what type of money ( and sweat equity of course ) is an important piece of information. Do we pay for a ready made boat? Or is it much cheaper to go your route and buy a sailaway and fit it out like you...... The price differential is the key element in that calculation. Of course no one expects you to open up your finances, but ballpark numbers would really help
The boat has just been professionally valued by a marine surveyor at £175-179k so your guess was very accurate and I will say that you will save 30 to 40% by doing it yourself but doing it full time takes a year and if you are going to do it part time then it could take 2 or 3 years.
