39ft Trad Stern Narrowboat £15,000
Georgina II is a lovely 39ft, narrowboat, built by GT Boatbuilders in the 1980s that would suit a buyer looking for a project to make their mark on and has been priced to reflect this. A recent survey has identified that she will need over plating to the hull sides. She has benefitted from a series of cosmetic improvements to the interior by the current and previous owners. She was last out of the water for blacking in April 2025. The BSSC expires in September 2026.
