Ruby Elise - Project Boat
Read onNB Ruby Elise is a 40-foot cruiser-stern narrowboat currently classified as a restoration project, requiring comprehensive internal and external cosmetic refurbishment. Visual inspection corroborates the necessity for this superficial overhaul, with the vessel exhibiting heavily weathered paintwork, organic growth, and degraded protective coatings along the waterline. Despite its current aesthetic condition, this late-1970s Springer-style hull is underpinned by two significant assets that elevate it above standard salvage classifications. Crucially, a recent survey validates the hull's integrity, confirming the steel thickness remains within safe insurance tolerances exceeding 4.0mm, thereby mitigating primary acquisition risks by negating immediate over-plating requirements. Furthermore, the vessel is equipped with a highly regarded three-cylinder, air-cooled Lister ST3/SR3 diesel engine. While the engine bay displays superficial oxidation consistent with the boat's project status, this inherently robust power plant is exceptionally capable for a 40-foot vessel, cementing the boat's baseline value and ensuring strong market appeal for traditionalist buyers.
