No problem and thanks for the replies! I genuinely thought Snaygill was half a day or so I should be able to get sorted now one way or the other.

Hi...sorry I had no idea it was quite as close as that. I will try your suggestions. Many thanks! Not sure what the member meant by Oh. No, not another one, we have had the boat hire now the boat moving! but apologies if my need for my boat moving irritates you in some way.

Hi everyone I need my boat moving from Kildwick to Snaygill boat yard for its bottom blacking. Anyone fancy taking it there for me, and how much would you want to make it worth your while? It's a 30ft steel deisel widebeam. I need it moving asap but non of the professional boat movers I have contacted have got back to me.

Not 100% sure but I think its just bricks and hardcore under the floor boards ( which makes me sound like a pervert I know ) The water tank is at the front so that might influence it to a degree. Andy

Hi All Thanks very much indeed for all the replies! Put my mind at rest, though I will have to check the condition of the locker floor as suggested, next time the boat is out of the water.

Hi All I have a canal boat on the Leeds Liverpool that has just failed its boat safety cert because the heater oil and exhaust are sites in the gas locker, so I have to have them removed and the holes welded. While fishing about in there I noticed that there was about 3 inches of water in there because the drainage hole in the back of it is actually below the level of the canal. I actually spent 15 minutes baling water out before I realised that it just came back in again. Does this sound correct? I would image that the floor of the boat inside the locker would rust away if always under water? Many thanks for any advice..
