those little Lister diesels run lovely on bio diesel with next to no modifications and as the fuel tanks are inboard no clouding problems with it i know a few fends that live on there boatLong term mooring cost in a marina will vary depends on where, quiet ish canal side marina about £1200 to £1600 per year. Somewhere like the Thames easily double that.
Yearly licence again depends on boat length and type of licence say £900 per year.
Fuel costs, yes no red diesel anymore, so full price charged, but as its also used for moving the boat and for heating etc, you can claim a discount fr part of the cost. Most people get a reduction on about 80% of the cost.
The payback is the total lack of stress and the enjoyment of the magical environment. In a phrase, Priceless!

We loved watching narrow boats at various places where we holidayed earlier this year. If we ever win the Premium Bonds or Lottery we'll blow it on a narrow boat and a house with mooring on the River Severn, somewhere like Upton

Yes Neil, just about there. The flood defences around Waterside look very impressive but that's the other side of the bridge
Graham the canal system is chokka block theses days. Get a mooring first before you get the boat. We had 25 years canal boating - made up of hiring and finally owning our own. The camaraderie is not what it used to be on the canals. One reason for us selling our last boat.
Not much fun in winter when its dark at 4pm and when the cut is frozen and thetfords full

I'll have to get that lottery win before the mooring Ken - but with a lottery win I'm sure many moorings would be affordable
Yes, the winter downside is why we would have a house as well - plus the motorhome of course
We can all dream
Much better idea would be to get a boat on the European Canal network with a house at the side of the canal. Mooring and everyday running costs are cheaper :thumb:
With a lottery win cheap wouldn't matter
