Ad pulled. That didn't last long! What was it? Its still there Paul.Its an old Barge,almost completely stripped.You wonder about the sanity of people that bother with this junk,the costs to make such a thing habitable if indeed you ever could must be horrendous. Tsinca who is a member on here posts some good photos on his Blog "Narrowboat Inca" of old working boats decaying at Ellesmere Port I believe,perhaps if you google his blog name you can see them.

However, I must admit, when I read Paul's remarks the first thing that came to mind was your photo of a half-submerged Sabina H.

I mess around with classic cars as you might be aware and of course the opposite is true,with all sorts of rubbish being bid up in the Marketplace, I saw a beautiful RIVA boat a few weeks back,those also are fetching crazy money.

When I click it I get this in a dialogue box This listing (162160952972) has been removed, or this item is not available. Please check that you've entered the correct item number Listings that have ended 90 or more days ago will not be available for viewing.

Strange - that link absolutely refused to work from here. I kept getting on ebay.com instead of ebay.co.uk. I finally went to ebay UK first then entered the item number and it came right up.

You've obviously not bothered to read it, because it's still got the original crews quarters in the bow. I'd much rather have a solid 'real' boat than an 80's or 90's clone narrowboat of any flavour.

Lottery boat definitely.
With a bit (lot!) of money spent on it it could be a superb boat, ship it across to the continental waterways - job done!
