Narrowboats?

Does anyone have any experience of operating HF from a narrowboat? We’re about to order one and I need to start considering what gear I’ll have. I’ll probably put one of my spare FT1000 MPs on it with a SteppIR vertical right down to 80m. Guess the ground plane might (or might not?) work.

If anyone has experience of using HF on a 70 foot steel boat, please make contact with me. Thanks.
