Step aboard Easy Tiger, a 45ft cruiser stern narrowboat built in 1989 by the much-loved Springer – often affectionately referred to as the “Morris Minor” of the waterways. A solid and dependable project boat, Easy Tiger offers the perfect opportunity for someone looking to make their mark on a classic vessel. With a sound engine and hull, the core foundations are already in place, leaving you free to focus on transforming the interior and exterior into a unique floating home or weekend escape.
While Easy Tiger’s external paintwork has seen better days, and the interior would benefit from some modernisation, she’s bursting with potential. Whether you're a seasoned DIY-er or a first-time buyer eager to put your stamp on your own narrowboat, this is your chance to bring new life to a charming vessel. Her layout is traditional and practical, offering a comfortable living space with plenty of storage and scope for reconfiguration.
The galley is compact but functional, currently fitted with a cooker, fridge, and sink (all untested). With a good amount of worktop space and well-placed cupboards, there's plenty of room to create a stylish and efficient cooking area. Whether you choose a rustic shaker style or a sleek modern finish, the galley is ready to be reimagined to suit your tastes.
The bedroom features a fixed double bed with a foam mattress and built-in storage, providing a quiet, private space to rest and recharge. There's potential here to enhance the room with clever storage solutions, softer finishes, and upgraded materials – perfect for creating a warm, restful retreat.
Practical and simple, the bathroom includes a shower, wash basin, and Porta Potti cassette toilet. It currently requires attention, as the Gulper pump is faulty, but offers a great base for a fresh, modern fit-out. With a bit of imagination, this space could be transformed into a compact yet luxurious wet room.
At the bow, the saloon is a cosy and inviting space featuring a sofa, TV, and a wood-burning stove that adds character and warmth. There’s ample built-in storage and natural light, creating a homely feel with plenty of potential for soft furnishings and personalised touches. Whether you envision a snug reading nook or an open social area, the saloon is versatile enough to meet your vision.
Easy Tiger is ideal for someone with vision, a bit of elbow grease, and a love for life on the water. Whether you’re dreaming of a liveaboard, a holiday home, or a creative renovation project, this charming narrowboat offers a rare and affordable opportunity to create something truly your own.
