Description
Golden Girl is a charming 38ft cruiser stern narrowboat built by Dave Clarke, offering a well-maintained and comfortable vessel ready for its next owner and new adventures on the waterways. Measuring 38ft by 6ft 10in, the boat is powered by a reliable Beta 28hp diesel engine with four cylinders and a PRM 150 gearbox. Currently moored in Staffordshire, Golden Girl has been well cared for, with the hull blacked in January 2025 and a valid Boat Safety Certificate in place until 2030, providing peace of mind for prospective buyers.
Constructed with a steel hull featuring a 10/6/4 plating specification and a flat bottom hull shape, the boat offers sturdy and dependable construction. The interior is finished with laminate flooring and tongue and groove cabin sides, creating a warm and practical living space. Top-opening windows provide natural light and ventilation throughout the cabin. The boat also benefits from a diesel fuel tank with an approximate capacity of 30 gallons and a stainless steel water tank holding around 80 gallons.
Heating and hot water are provided via a calorifier and Webasto system, with central heating from the Webasto unit and an additional solid fuel stove for warmth during colder months. The electrical system includes both 12v and 240v supply, supported by a 2000w Sterling inverter. Power is stored through one starter battery and three leisure batteries, while three 100w solar panels help maintain battery charge when cruising or moored off-grid.
Inside, the galley is equipped with a Statesman cooker and a Waeco fridge/freezer, complemented by attractive solid wood worktops that add both character and practicality to the space. The boat offers accommodation for up to four people, with a fixed double bed and an additional sofa bed providing flexible sleeping arrangements.
The bathroom is fitted with a pump-out toilet, shower, and vanity basin, providing all the essential facilities needed for comfortable living aboard. Externally, the boat benefits from both a cratch cover and a pram cover, offering protection from the elements and additional usable space at the bow and stern.
Golden Girl presents an excellent opportunity to own a well-maintained narrowboat that is ready to enjoy straight away.
