Description

Muriwai is a beautifully maintained 57 × 10 ft wide beam narrowboat built by Liverpool Boat Co. in 2004 and with a new Beta 43 Greenline diesel engine fitted in 2021. Her generous wide beam dimensions make her manoeuvrable, while offering a spacious and comfortable home on the water.

The layout features a large forward saloon with Morso Squirrel stove (newly refurbished March 2026), breakfast bar with stools, a fully fitted galley with oven, grill, 4-ring gas hob, fridge, and washing machine, a proper shower room with large cubicle, and a timber-lined aft cabin with freestanding king-size bed.

The engine was serviced in June 2025. BSS valid until June 2030. She was last blacked in May 2023.

WATER FREEDOM FILTRATION SYSTEM
Full water filtration system with the Pure add-on for safe drinking water directly from the tank, long showers, and unlimited laundry loads.

HYBRID LIFEPO4 BATTERY BANK
300 Ah lithium iron phosphate batteries installed in a hybrid configuration (alongside 3 lead acid batteries) in summer 2023 — lighter, longer-lasting, and more efficient than traditional lead-acid setups.

650 W SOLAR AND 2KW INVERTER
650 W of solar panels with MPPT controller, Victron MultiPlus 2 kW inverter, and shore-line hookup for use with shore power — reliable off-grid and on.

MORSO SQUIRREL STOVE
Stove professionally refurbished in March 2026 — ready for cosy evenings on the cut.

BSS VALID THROUGH 2030
Boat Safety Scheme certificate just renewed, providing full certification valid through June 2030.
