There are seven engines with a power range from 40hp to 90hp, suitable for narrow boats, wide beam boats and Dutch barges.

Barrus has been responsible for a number of firsts, including twin alternators and twin thermostats fitted as standard.

The Shire range is continually being improved and modified to maintain its position as a leader in the market place. All Shire models are now fitted with a new, more efficient twin thermostat housing which facilitates hotter running water and an increased flow. The Shire 45, 50 and 70 models are fitted with 50amp and 240amp alternators as standard.

A new five - year warranty scheme has now been introduced for all models providing a real benefit to owners.
