EQUIPMENT & BOAT SPECIFICATION

Below we have listed the specification of the Canal Boat The Fit Out Pontoon purchased. This will hopefully act as a guide to the key information you should be looking out for, and receiving, from any boat builders you are requesting quotations from. The Fit Out Pontoon moved away from the builders’ standard layout as it didn’t quite suit our needs. Fortunately the layout was flexible, it was the specification we were really purchasing.
