Dovetail - A Sea Otter 33' Narrowboat.
Sea Otter Narrowboats are the Rolls-Royce of the inland waterways. Like all Sea Otter boats, they are constructed from Marine grade BS5083 aluminium alloy. It is a material commonly used where strength and longevity are required. Aluminium alloy is a material favoured by the majority of small commercial craft builders.
Designed in a reverse layout, this vessel offers a bathroom aft, a galley to port, a single dinette is found opposite which converts into a single berth, the saloon features port and starboard seating which can be converted to form a full width double berth when required.
Powered by a Vetus 28hp diesel engine (1,375 recorded hours) this Narrowboat offers economical cruising. Central heating is provided by Webasto diesel central heating with matrix fans and radiators throughout the cabin. Hot water is supplied by the engine calorifier, central heating or immersion on shore power. 240V & 12V electrics on board.
