Nearly There

Just a quick photo update of the narrowboat fitout on Tom Kitten as she nears completion. Apologies for the quality of some of the photo’s, these were taken as the sun was setting and the light fading.

Above: Ben laying the solid Oak floor.

Above – Side doors and frames completed, just need chrome pull handles.

Above: The toughened glass shelves added to the Cubby holes either side of the cross bed.

Above: Bedroom with oak floor finished except for the addition of the final trims.

Above: Looking through from the bedroom into the walk through bathroom.

Above: Drop down flap for the cross bed now in place – the bed when made up will be King size.

Above: Bathroom

Saloon: The upholstery has arrived hence the installation of the upholstered back rest – Don’t worry Debbie the covers have only been removed for the photo!

Above – Stove has been tested and run and works a treat.

Above – TV/DVD now in place but still needs to be connected. The TV pulls out so it can be viewed at differing angles.

Above: Saloon.

Above: Looking towards the galley at the stern.

Above & Below: The desmo legs have been installed. The upholstered back rest pictured here lifts out and can be placed on the opposite side of the seat – effectively turning the seating to face the saloon area, great if you have guests.

Above & Below: Galley looking forward towards the dinette and saloon. The granite splashbacks are to be fixed within the next week and will complete the galley.

This week as well as progressing with the fitout of Tom Kitten, we’ve also started with the fitout of Aqua Jeta a new sponsorship boat in our hire fleet. As we have recently become a dealer for the new Canaline range of marine engines all our new hire boats will be powered by these engines. We have just taken delivery of Jeta’s new engine which is now sitting in our reception area – this is a canaline 42hp with a PRM 150 Hydraulic gearbox . Photo below. 

That’s all for now.
