I've just moved off a narrow boat having lived on one for about 2.5 years. Life on the water is pretty cool, there are pros and cons (as with anything). You're immersed in nature all the time and you see something new pretty much every day whether it's just a cool sunset or an otter/pike/water vole/kingfisher...
Apolloduck is the main boat buying site but as others have said keep an eye out for signs in windows, chat to people on the tow path (most boaters are friendly and happy to talk in my experience), gumtree etc.
Happy to answer any questions.
