  1. Hi I've seen a 14K springer that is beautifully refurbished- Is it worth considering- price is open to offers. Its for weekend use At this price- Do I need a survey
  2. Hi As a visitor, I enjoyed the show, but do have friends who thought the entrance fee high. I also have to comment on the food stalls- £3.50 for a 99 cornet was extortionate with 3 children- I'm not surprised that the food outlets were struggling- we had a pork cob, not great and £5.50 each. Its a shame as first timers, we did enjoy it, but thought the show didnt justify the entrance fee
  3. Hi-Thanks- we've had several boating holidays before, but never purchased or maintained a boat before, 47ft is the max we would have, there's 2 of us plus a dog, and thought the extra space would be good for friends. We've looked at numerous boats now but getting confused with all the variables
  4. Thank you- Is it a big task to keep on top of- would you consider composite top or steer away from it? I've also looked at the maker and plating specs- would you have any thoughts on these:- Composite boat is Fernie fabrications, 6/6/5 Steel is Springer 5/5/3 both are 1970s boats Many thanks- appreciate any advice- novice but learning lots over the last few weeks
  5. Hi- Can anybody help. We are new to boating and looking to purchase our first boat. We are viewing 2 at the weekend (very excited). One is a 36foot all steel narrowboat and one is a 47foot steel hull with composite wood and fibreglass top- both are older boats (late 70s)to fit our budget. I've seen some negative stories about composite tops- Are there pitfalls or risks with the composite top- such as more maintenance, expensive maintenance, more risk of leaks etc- I would appreciate any advice you can offer. Its a big step for us and as we're novices any advice would be gratefully received- Many thanks
