Premier Houseboats are pleased to present Jane Lee, a classic 55-foot steel tug offering excellent potential either as a character restoration project or future floating home. The hull and decks are reported to be sound and provide a strong base for conversion. The vessel would benefit from a repaint, and the wheelhouse requires new glazing. Power comes from a Gardner 6L3 diesel engine (130 hp), previously overhauled before fitting, with installation still to be completed - including coupling, cooling, electrics, fuel, exhaust and hydraulic steering connections. Once restored, Jane Lee would make a capable working tug or a distinctive houseboat on the UK’s inland and tidal waterways. She represents a rare opportunity to purchase a solid classic vessel at a competitive price, available due to the closure of a boat-repair business. - solid hull and deck Gardner 6L3 diesel engine (130 hp) Suitable for restoration or conversion Good proportions for inland or coastal cruising Vessel name: Jane Lee Condition: Fair Vessel type: Tug Constructed: 1957 Cabins: 1 No. of engines: 1 Engine model: Gardner 6L3 Engine power: 130 Length over all: 55’ Beam: 13’ Maximum draft: 5’ 9 Hull material: Steel Hull type: Other Disclaimer Premier Houseboats offers the details of this advert in good faith as it was presented by the seller or his representative but cannot guarantee or warrant the accuracy of this information nor warrant the condition of the described item within this advert.
