45ft Traditional Narrowboat | Built by Coulter Linda Engineering, 2006 | Moored in Staffordshire
Introducing Against All Odds, a beautifully presented 45ft traditional narrowboat built by Coulter Linda Engineering in 2006. Thoughtfully designed and recently refreshed, this vessel offers a wonderful living and cruising space for those eager to explore the waterways in comfort and style. With a full external repaint, a recent hull survey, and fresh blacking, she’s fully prepared for new adventures.
Powered by a Barrus Shire 40hp engine, Against All Odds delivers reliable performance and easy handling. Her traditional stern adds a touch of classic charm, while her robust steel hull (10/5/4 plating) and flat bottom ensure stability and durability on the water. The boat also benefits from double-glazed windows, spray foam insulation, and oak-veneered cabin sides, creating a warm and efficient interior space.
Step aboard to find a thoughtfully arranged layout designed for both practicality and comfort. The L-shaped dinette easily converts into an additional double berth, complementing the fixed double bed to accommodate up to four people. The walkthrough bathroom is equipped with a cassette toilet, vanity basin, and shower—offering all the essentials for life afloat.
The galley is fitted with a Cannon oven, grill, and hob, plus a Shoreline 12v fridge/freezer, providing everything needed for home-style cooking aboard.
Heating and hot water are efficiently supplied by an Eberspacher system, calorifier, and a Morso Squirrel stove, ensuring comfort through every season. Power is managed via a Victron 1200w inverter, one starter and three leisure batteries, and two 40w solar panels with a Victron MPPT controller, giving ample off-grid capability for longer journeys.
Other notable features include a 150-litre stainless steel water tank, 30-gallon diesel capacity, and a tidy, easy-to-maintain interior with luxury vinyl flooring.
With a valid Boat Safety Certificate until April 2026, Against All Odds represents a ready-to-cruise, well-cared-for narrowboat ideal for weekends away or extended cruising.
