Nudger Overview
Nudger is a charming and well-maintained 38ft cruiser stern Narrowboat, built in 1976 by Springer Engineering. Under the same ownership for 28 years, this classic vessel has been lovingly cared for over the years. Designed with the popular reverse layout, Nudger features:
- A cosy saloon aft with an L-shaped sofa
- A practical midships galley
- A walkthrough bathroom equipped with a Porta Potti and shower
- A convertible master cabin forward
Powered by a BMC 1.5 four-cylinder diesel engine, cabin heating is provided by a multi-fuel stove, and hot water comes from the engine calorifier. The boat is equipped with 12V and 240V electrics for onboard convenience. Regular maintenance includes blacking every two years, with the most recent in April 2025. The Boat Safety Scheme Certificate is valid until February 2027, and the engine is serviced every two years, with the last service in 2023. Ideal as a starter boat for a family, Nudger’s versatile layout comfortably sleeps four with its convertible berths. Currently located at Pyrford Marina, Nudger is ready for viewing.

Beneath the seating, ample under-seat storage is available, complemented by a corner storage wardrobe and shelving for personal belongings.

Under-gunnel storage compartments are ideal for storing pots, pans, and other cooking essentials.
Bathroom

Convertible Master Cabin
Located forward, the master cabin provides direct access to the bow well deck, protected by a cratch cover. The cabin features a bespoke sofa bed that easily converts into a comfortable double bed.
