A 70ft modern butty constructed in 2004 by JD Narrowboats: Originally "Alnwick" was fitted to provide hotel sleeping accomodation to the hotel motor boat "Morpeth".

Having painted and renamed her, the boat was finally completed in 2020, the owners circumstances meanwhile have now changed and have spent little time aboard.

A 62ft bespoke portholed traditional hull built and supplied in 1999 by Steve Hudson as a bare shell to the current owner's specification, additional cabin height and 15mm baseplate.

The obvious advantage being no starter battery required. Over the following three years the owners completed the full fit-out from "stem to stern"...
