Beautiful boat, saw her at Mercia Marina today and she really stands out from the other boats.
Thank you, it's great to hear this!
At least give us a rough price.
Give me one!!!!
Great Job! Looking forward to seeing the Hobbit on Friday, hopefully you’ll have time to show us around :) N&A
It would be great to see what the remote control looks like. Is it made by Hybrid Marine or do they use someone else's remote?
I like the builds, top quality finishes
Glad you like them!
Had some wine so here's my 2 cents. You don't need that many radiators in a narrowboat. Feed them from the gunwales and you can get rid of that boxing on the floor. Subway tiles in a shower cubicle, Use the flat ones not the bevelled, then you don't have issues where the two sides meet in the corner.
Stunning job Chris! Don't know if you remember meeting me at Southampton Boat Show last year?
Hi Chris, Julia, Darren & team. See you at Crick 2024❤X🐰x
Nice Narrow Boat! Good Job!
Absolutely beautiful. Well done guys 🎉
What is the reason for the blocks do you know ? Please 🙏
Very very nice!
Beautiful ❤️ 🎉
How much is this boat
Thank you🙏✝️🙏
The Dragon in willington is a good place to eat. Bit pricey
Yes, welcome back Darren, you were missed at Crick. Hello to the team X🐰x
Who built Florrie ? It doesn't look like an Ovation boat you build.........not a good advert I'd have thought!!!!!!!
Brilliant video. What a fantastic show. Many thanks from Chris and Jane 🎉🎉
It was great to visit the boat yesterday and video it for our CZcams channel. I have completed the editing and scheduled it for the 17th June. I hope it shows the quality of the workmanship. Alan
So you have to carry all the food & drinks past the sofa to get to the dinette , could be a problem if people are sitting on the sofa
Nice boat, but was this filmed on a 90s Nokia phone?
So exciting 😊
Not a fan of the frosted glass on the doors to the bathroom - not much privacy.
Looks Super! ⭐️❤️⭐️
That’s looking wonderful! You guys have been working very hard….Can’t wait to see the boat @ Crick :)
The boat looks stunning. I hope the owner has many restful years aboard in which to be thankful for the privilege of traveling the canals. From the design on the side of the boat I can see that the famous and historic Rest and be Thankful pass road near Loch Croe is the inspiration for such an apt name.
Looks fabulous 👌
Ooh what a nice boat. Jealous of the future owner!
why is the sign back to front?
Stupid naming? Nice boat though! English craftsmanship!
Looks beautiful.
dear How can I contact you?
It really is a matter of choice. The Ovation Boat shells are bespoke, and to customer preference, as are the internal fit outs. Most customers prefer the semi cruiser stern nowadays, for the social side of boating, but the shell can be any design........as you can see from Willow's front deck. Most of today's customers prefer a modern look but Ovation Boats can build a more traditional narrowboat too! 😊
We are in 2023 and these companies are still using diesel and propane. Why are these boats not all electric??? Please don't say expense!! The running costs will be negligible. No wood burners, No propane, No diesel and silent, pollution free boating. Wouldn't that be grand?
ZZZZZZZZZZ what? huh? Never mind ZZZZZZZZZZ BORING!!!
What happened to narrowboats having some character. Every new boat coming from a whole raft of manufacturers now(not craftspeople any more), looks identical to any one from many other builders.....and some of them (not Ovation I might add)have shocking build quality. Bring back some style, some flair, some ingenuity, not just a boarded out curve free metal tube with a cheerfulness factor of zero.
Living aboard this would certainly force me into a serious declutter. The shower looks like everyone aboard can view the user... Or, maybe the whole middle of boat is closed off with doors when shower in use.
The bed is 6ft 3" long and has an extendable side. This increases the width of the bed whilst still allowing passage through to the front of the boat.
Gorgeous 👏
Claustrophobics need not apply.
Looks good. Not my type of a boat to life on. Its to small but that is the type boat
This is the first time I have seen spray foam installed on bare Steel. Usually the process involves spraying a zinc epoxy first to protect the steel in case of any air pockets.
'Dry' IS un understatement!! Its positively dull. Nice boat though!
Rear cabin bed seems to be for short people. What's its length?
A very nice boat.
I didn't see a refrigerator
Thanks for the video...I am amazed that bricks are used which increases maintenance costs and issues. I was wondering how surveyors are supposed to look at the interior of the steel hull below the floor level. I know that this system works as there are hundreds of these boats around however it seems an odd practice. Steel plates welded to the underside would be better (lower the weight and less would be needed). I love the quality of the finish of your boats and the layouts are great.
