Forgive the possibly daft question. New boat ready soon. Need to buy TV. Do we need to buy a 12v one or normal 240v. Boat has landline and inverter. I assume that we need 240v TV. This will plug in normal when we are moored and plugged into landline. Then when moored out whilst cruising, we switch on the inverter which changes the voltage from 12v to 240v to operate the television. Can someone confirm either way whether right or not in assumption or explain to me how the inverter works and what volt TV we need to buy. If 12v tv is needed, how does this work when plugged in to landline? thankyou Kim

Congratulations, how exciting. ))

It might be just in case they come across another boat similar to themselves that may chuck pieces of wood at them,

no front well deck, pushed bedroom forward so full size. walk through bathroom. From front cruiser deck, which we have extended, into galley, open saloon and dinette for space (as we have dogs). Still gone for modern look with different galley cupboard doors. cant wait. Is it this weekend that you have had on Kathrick?

Many congratulations, hope you will be very happy ) we will be doing the same thing soon , so looking forward to it. Kim

Hi we went, we thought it was okay. Mind you, never been before so nothing to compare it too. Thought that the food was very expensive for what it was. Kim

Hi Mark and Emma We are having one built. Like the demonstrator, don't know whether you saw that. We have rearranged the insides somewhat but have gone for the modern look. We could not decide on laminate floors or carpet, but as soon as we saw yours, we decided carpet. Bet you cant wait to get her on the water. When do you launch? Findlay has been great so far. Really nice guy to deal with. Our "shell" should be onsite in a couple of weeks and then first fit be finished by end of july. Hope to be on water mid to late September. regards Kim

HI Mark and Emma Congratulations. I have seen your boat as we too are buying from Notts Boat Sales. You have a smashing boat there, really nice. I hope that you will be very happy on Kathrick . )) Kim

How nice to hear of a company offering such good Customer Care )

They are all lovely but the bridge one is outstanding. Kim

Hi , We are in the same position, house for sale, boat ordered, should be on the water beg October. Cannot wait . Hope you will both be very happy on the water and I too have Nan who is 98 this year (she lived with us for 10 years until she needed more care than I could give) who is now in care and is surrounded by lovely people. Good luck in your search for the right boat

Thankyou for all the advice and answers. We are planning on mainly canal cruising but there will be times when we have to be on the river so need to accommodate what ever may be the right need. Kim

are there different weights in this type for different size boats?

what weight is it that you have. When I looked at them, there were many differing weights. We will be having a 59ft narrow cruiser so just wondering what weight we would need to buy. Not cheap is it, when you come to have to have all the other things like chains and connectors and the like. would appreciate any advice anyone can give. thanks

Congratulations, very exciting and its good to be mad, life is for living and you have stepped right in.) Boat looks great, Hope the very best for your future on the water

I have just designed my boat and i am just over 50, going to be on the water come October, for the lifestyle change. I will worry about being 80 when i am 79 )
