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.
