Description:

Rendezvous is a splendid example of a traditional tug deck narrowboat from the highly regarded and becoming increasingly rare boat builder that was Steve Hudson. With Recessed Panels, a JD3 tug engine by Beta Marine you get the sound and experience of a “classic” engine but without all the temperamental challenges. Maintained in original condition developing a nice “lived in patina” Rendezvous has had her hull grit blasted and Zinc Coated then 2- pack epoxy treatment applied in 2018 and she has just had another 2-pack epoxy treatment & full engine service both in July 2022. So, she really is a “turnkey narrowboat” ready to provide many more years of rewarding service to her next guardian.
