Jubilee" was built in 1977 has been converted into a liveabord houseboat,during 2005-2011 it was taken out of the water several times and had much money spent on her, I have some pics and some history relating to its use as a Brighton fishing boat.Over the last few months she has had a lot of money and time refurbishing her to make her a wonderful boat to live on. I have not owned her long however an unexpected change of where I'm workign now means I can't stay on her anymore as I will be living 'up north'.Work completed so far:Removal of all the aged soft wood from the deck, and replacement with new marine ply. Repaired every inch of the roof and top deck. This was then coated in a new type of flexible polymer coating to completely seal the whole upper half of the boat, this is an amazing product and has made jubilee completely weatherproof.The whole interior of jubilee has been refreshed and updated, completely painted out inside with all new plexi glass windows, new marine ply floors and interior panels replaced as needed.New carpet through out the lounge area, new flooring in the galley, 2 x flat screen tv's 1 in the bedroom 1 in the lounge, new digital 360 degree ariel, and a dehumidifier and a New full size double futon mattress in the bow/bedroom.The galley consists of full size fridge, microwave/grill, toaster, kettle, cutlery and plates are even included!!!,Water is readily available from the supply on the pontoon directly in front of the boat, the excellent facilities are very close and the showers and toilets are of a very high standard, there is also a launderette on the jetty!!! There are a vast choice of restaurants and entertainment in the marina and it is a lovely place to live at a fraction of the cost of a flat in Brighton. Berths at the marina also come with car parking. There is ample storage in 2 large lined storage areas under the lounge seating and a wardrobe with rail and many shelves.Jubilee has 4 x portholes and a roof opening skylight, the door has a brand new lock with 2 x keys which makes her very safe. The 4 cylinder diesel engine has not run for a couple of years according to the previous owner but is all there and was to be my next job (making a nice water tight living area was my priority) as was tidying up the hull which could do with a lick of paint. She is copper sheathed and takes on no water.Electricity is supplied via a properly installed 240v fuse board with many standard plug sockets fitted through out the boat. Sunbathing is supplied via any of the roof areas which all support weight.There is also storage at the bow in the form of a large weather proof box with new hinged/waterproofed lid. The first person who views her will buy.Ideal for a student at Sussex Uni as the buses are regular and it saves fortunes on accommodation (mooring fees are only £330 a month) try getting a 1 bedroom flat in Brighton for that!!!So in short, a great value home, or weekend retreat with bags of character and set in a lovely environment in the heart of Brighton. I am gutted to be putting her on the market, and would love to continue living on her however as I will be workign several hundred miles away I need to find a new owner. She is very much priced to sell and compared to the other boats I viewed prior to purchasing her is a complete bargain at this price.Please call to arrange a viewing or ask any questions 07790005642 or email me as I'm traveling quite a bit at the moment. gav.d.adam@gmail.com
