Description
Introducing Wize Move, a charming 67ft traditional stern narrowboat built by Bailey Narrowboats in 2002. With her inviting interior and homely atmosphere, Wize Move offers the perfect balance of comfort and practicality for those looking to enjoy life afloat. Designed to accommodate up to six berths, she’s ideal for family adventures or hosting friends along the waterways.
Powered by a dependable Isuzu 38hp diesel engine, Wize Move delivers smooth performance and reliable cruising. The hull is constructed from 10/6/4 steel plating with a flat-bottomed design, offering stability and ease of handling on inland waterways.
Inside, the cabin features laminate flooring and ply-lined walls, creating a light and practical living space. The saloon provides a warm and welcoming area with L-shaped seating and a dinette that convert into berths, complemented by a solid fuel stove with back boiler for cosy evenings aboard.
The galley is well-equipped with a cooker, fridge, and 240v power, providing all the essentials for comfortable onboard living.
Sleeping arrangements include a fixed double bed plus additional berths in the dinette and L-shaped seating areas, comfortably accommodating up to six people. Whilst the bathroom is fitted with a cassette toilet, shower, and vanity basin, ensuring convenience during extended stays.
Wize Move benefits from an efficient electrical system, featuring both 12v and 240v power, a Sterling 2500w inverter, 1 starter and 4 leisure batteries, and two solar panels, making her well-suited for off-grid cruising. Hot water is provided via a calorifier and back boiler, while a stainless steel 400-litre water tank supplies ample fresh water for life aboard.
Additional features include a side hatch, and a cratch cover, adding both practicality and character. The boat was surveyed in 2021, and in 2023 underwent grit blasting, plug welding, and a 2-pack blacking, ensuring a well-maintained hull.
A Boat Safety Certificate valid until 2028 provides peace of mind for her next owners. Currently moored in Cheshire, Wize Move is available for viewing by appointment.
