I Surveyed this little Narrow Boat today at Haven Marina in Lowestoft, UK. Sea Otter the builders are based in Staveley, Derbyshire and are renowed for their high quality alloy boats and excellent customer care.
They are made from a marine-grade aluminium alloy, the same sort of material used for harbour work boats, oil rig support vessels, the Swedish Navy, the Thames water police, some cross-channel ferries and life-boats.
Some lovely old wooden boats over at Haven... proper job!
Surveyors comments:
I noticed when driving her into the dock that they are light so a strong gust could be more of a problem than with a similar-sized steel boat; but have you ever tried to push off a steel boat which is wedged firmly against a bank? You can do it single handed with a pole when you have a Sea Otter.
