Boat #3 - Liverpool Boat Co.

Another contender has to be Liverpool Boat Company, currently asking £51,707 for a fully fitted 55ft narrowboat and well below the £60,000 budget. It even leaves room for some upgrades and finishing touches.

From the standard specification, it already has a pump out loo, which is usually the first extra I look at.

Standard Price : £51,707

I think window treatments such as blinds or curtains will be on top of that. Adding a few other nick nacks would bring it up to the £60K mark once you drive away.

But you would be nicely kitted out when you did.
