Hilarity is a 50ft cruiser stern narrowboat laying at Thrupp on the South Oxford Canal. The hull was surveyed in March 2024 and is sound, with minimum 5.6mm side and 9.4mm base plating. After the survey she was blacked and fitted with 4 new anodes.
There is also a full Boat Safety Certificate valid to May 2027 – so she is good to go for immediate cruising.
The hull was built by Jonathon Tyler in 1999 and fitted out by Intro Boatbuilders. The engine is a Yanmar/Barrus Shire 1600 with approx 1700 hours on the clock. 3 x leisure batteries, 240v Hookup.
There are four radiators to heat the boat, powered by an Eberspacher Diesel D5W heater. There’s also a recently-installed Arada Hamlet dual fuel stove. Hot water is via a calorifier.
She sleeps four comfortably - two in the aft bedroom and two in the saloon. Maximum capacity is 8.
The bathroom has a shower, bath and cassette toilet. The kitchenette has a Vanette gas hob and oven/ grill and a 12 Volt fridge.
Hilarity is fitted out in gorgeous oak with cosy carpeted walls. There is plenty of shelving and storage, including two hanging cupboards.
This charming boat comes with the benefit of a permanent leisure mooring (subject to membership of Thrupp Canal Cruising Club) - without having to join a long waiting list. Thrupp is just a few miles from Oxford and is one of the most popular and beautiful moorings on the network, with a vibrant community of friendly boaters.
