  1. Sadly for me (as I didn't really want to sell but had to) I managed to sell the dear old Baron within a week of placing a classified ad on ebay - and the phone never stopped ringing - so I would recommend it. Seems clear photos and a realistic price helps. Best of luck, Matt

  13. I guess it depends how hard you want to push it, and I am also slightly biased being based at Norbury ! I would'nt attempt the 4 counties ring in a week - you will be travelling non stop - but on the plus side there is some beautiful countryside and some super pubs in our neck of the woods. You certainly get the contrasts in the area (industrial and rural). That said, the Staffs & Worcs is also beautiful. Decisions decisions - take 2 weeks and do a bit of both !
  14. Mend a Tent in Stafford are good at this sort of repair, probably cheaper too ! Mend-A-Tent 103 Sandon Rd Stafford ST16 3HF Telephone: 01785 259458

  16. This may give you a rough idea .... http://www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk/view/F57787/
  17. Oh Mole you could almost write a book of your own based on your work thus far - how many of us have read and enjoyed your trials and tribulations ! And boy is that real ! Matt
  18. Thanks David, I am reassured. I was told to run the engine hard if I could, it is difficult without being near a river - so I had to find a broken down boat to tow !
  19. Did a google..... http://www.mailspeedmarine.com/ProductDeta...ategoryID/39/v/
  20. How early is early ~ somebody cruised gently past us at 4.30 am on Sunday morning ! We will look out for you, but not at that time !!!! Phillip, By the way - what is your boat called ?
  21. Why is it you never seem to have your camera handy when you need it ? At the weekend, I saw a man with a small girl in a converted drawer powered by a seagull outboard engine ! I didn't notice whether it had a licence, I was too busy smiling !
  22. There seemed to be less boats about last week, funnily enough. Though the basin at Norbury was as busy as usual. We were surprised how quiet it was, especially as the weather was glorious. Another good weekend forecast - that may bring out more boaters !
  23. Well done for having the tenacity and getting the right outcome. All who are commissioning new boats should beware !
  24. How much "smoke" would you say is normal ? My recently completely rebuilt BMC gives the occasional puff of bluish smoke or haze, especially if increasing revs, and I am paranoid about it ! (the last work cost me thousands!). I have been told not to run it in neutral for about 6 months, to prevent bore glazing (I have been through all the old threads) so am I just being over sensitive ? After all some of the boats you see pump out lots of smoke and surely I should expect some exhaust emissions, but I am not at all used to diesel engines.
