00:00 Intro
00:44 Taking Our Narrowboat For It's First Drive
07:26 Driving Through Blisworth Tunnel
13:05 Visiting The Narrowboat Museum and Pub
16:30 Cruising Back To The Marina

23:06 Are We Saying Goodbye To Our Narrowboat?

After months of hard work transforming our old narrowboat into a luxury tiny home on the water, it’s finally time to put it to the ultimate test!
In this episode, we take our boat on an unforgettable journey — cruising through the Blisworth Tunnel; one of the longest canal tunnels in the UK! It’s dark, dramatic, and absolutely breathtaking as cruise the British countryside and navigate miles underground, testing every bit of the boat’s craftsmanship and our nerves.
Along the way, we also meet our competition winner and share the incredible moment they step aboard for the first time. From tight tunnel maneuvers to stunning canal scenery on the other side, this trip has it all — suspense, emotion, and a few unexpected challenges too!
Will we say goodbye to A Beautiful Mess...?

Sad and happy... You guys have entertained me from the beginning. I've waited every week for a new update. Not quite sure how I'm going to spend my Sundays now. I will miss this. Thank you all, even Pete.

I am in the USA and became aware of the canals and narrowboats thru YouTube a while back and fell in love with them. I’m 57 years old and have never been on an overseas vacation. My goal is to visit the UK and go on a narrowboat excursion.

@amytooyou7384 11 months ago

I've been soaking in every moment of these videos while living in the USA. What an incredible job on the boat! Huge congratulations to the winner!

Do you know what fellas. You've smashed this. I've watched this from day one and you have done yourselves proud. I don't envy any of you a single coin from from this.
Well deserved.

Netherlands here, i have seen every episode and what a journey, right?
David the winner is a lucky man, and all the good wishes for him and to him.
He truly has a beautiful and very well build narrowboat. Sad to see it go, for a bit, but what a happy ending and curious for what is to come!

Well done lads and all the people who helped. Well done!!

Watching this get built was great one thing that made me chuckle was when they're in the bedroom I suddenly realised it has no curtains
