-
Collapsible
wheel house (for Dutch Style Barges)
-
Internal
wood battens and spray foamed insulation
-
Large
double glazed roof hatch (around 5ft x 3ft) for getting furniture on
board
-
Bow
and stern escape or Houdini hatches (Best to have an alternative
escape route, as otherwise the only way out is through the
wheelhouse, under which is the engine!)
-
Extra
coats of paint (after our narrowboat fit-out experience we will have
more than one coat of external paint supplied)
-
Bow
thrusters tube (worth having fitted, as you can then add the bow
thruster at a later date if / when required, without have the boat
lifted out and the hull being cut and welded under the water line.
-
More
powerful engine (especially if it may be used along tidal rivers)
-
Standby
manual steering (in case of hydraulics failure)
-
Double
glazed windows / port holes (in lieu of single glazed)
-
Extra
storage tanks for diesel and grey water if intending to use
continental canals.
-
Stainless
Steel fluid storage tanks (we have decided not to, a lot of extra
cost, and they can crack / leak, and when they do they are difficult
to repair)
