Newly finished  50 foot narrowboat The Bee's Knees. The shell is from Skater Marine who are becoming renowned for their attention to detail, this can be seen especially on the doors and side hatch. The boat has been painted in traditional green with red panels set off with cream lines.Not surprisingly given the economic gloom of the past year, finances have been tight and so value for money is at the forefront of many peoples mind which is where this boats comes in. It is an entry level 2 to 4 berth 50 foot semi-trad, with a high quality shell and Beta engine, but there have been savings in the interior- less costly laminates in place of hardwood and solid wood surface instead of granite surface in the galley - but it's none the worse for that, and still looks good inside. There is a centre entry from the stern leading into the bedroom.  A small TV table/ dressing table is to the right of the door as you walk in with a large wardrobe to the left, with a 4 foot wide fixed double bed in front of you and plenty of under bed storage, all finished to a high quality. The wood effect laminate throughout is hardwearing and easy to clean. Next is the walk through bathroom with a 760 x 760mm shower, floor to ceiling storage on one side and on the other a large corner porceline bowl next to a cassette toilet and on the cabin wall a chrome towel radiator. Moving through the bathroom to the galley, the eye catching centre piece, with round stainless steel sink and matching drainer, 4 burner hob, Smev oven and a 12V fridge with freezer compartment is neatly fitted into a two sided hand made kitchen. The kitchen doors have been painted white to match and compliment the white ceiling. Leading into the saloon the large windows and steel front doors with 1/2 length glazing makes the space feel light and airy. Left open plan with only a slim lined TV cabinet and solid fuel stove neatly fitted by the front steps, it gives the new owners the chance to bring their personal touch to it. Power comes from a 38hp Beta engine, whilst for the central heating throughtout there is a 5Kw Eberspacher heater. A 3KW inverter will run all your electrical needs. This is good quality at a realistic price of £58,000.00.
