Description

HISTORY
Puddleduck is a lovely, well-maintained 45ft semi-traditional stern narrowboat built by R & D Fabrications in 1998. She has a classic traditional style and is presented in very good condition externally, with well-maintained paintwork.
She is powered by a Vetus M414K 33hp diesel engine, which was serviced in September 2025. The boat has two solar panels installed in 2022 and was last blacked in October 2024. Heating is provided by a solid-fuel stove, with an Eberspächer diesel heater also fitted, although this is currently not functioning.
Puddleduck has been well cared for and offers a comfortable and characterful boat for enjoying life on the waterways.
The last survey was carried out in 2022.
