Dear all, We are due to have our boat blacked and up til now have only been aware of using synthetic products....eg international intertuf, we've now become aware of using bitumen. does anyone have only opinions regards what's the best stuff to use? We never considered bitumen til the other day, but we are new Nb owners /liveaboards and are very keen to do the best for our vessel. All advice most appreciated!

If we wanted to change the Transit 2.5L engine in a trad, how complicated would it be? I'm only thinking because its quite a large unit.

Brilliant, thanks for all the comments. Its great to be a member of such a friendly forum... Does anyone know any history about Walsall Boat Builders?

Does anyone have any experience of having a Transit 2.5l engine in a narrowboat? What are the advantages? What are the disadvantages of this installation? Thanks

Does anyone know any history about Walsall Boat Builders? Are they a well known builder, are their boats 'good' boats? Do they have any good characteristics? Thanks
