29'Ex-Lifeboat, solar/electric motor!
View Full Size Image
Barnacle is a unique solar powered ex-lifeboat which offers a very comfortable space to live in.

The main area has a convertible dinette/double bed with a galley (gas oven/hob) and heads (sea toilet) which could easily take a shower being installed. The wheel house has a small sofa and a lot of potential.

Barnacle is a blank canvass internally with numerous possibilities for development. Primarily she is geared towards river use due to the motor, however, has been stored and lived aboard in marinas for the past 3-4 years.

She currently requires some work to get back up a high standard and is currently on hard standing under a heavyweight tarpaulin. This is reflected in the price.

Barnacle can either be bought"as is" at the current price or next year with modifications made at a higher price.
