Sorry, Martin seams to have a thing against me.

The moderator’s removed everything straight away once you reported it, as I say the main thing I took from the article was how obese young people are these days.

No, you put all the links and information on here, so you made it available to the public domain about your daughters partner getting over Covid. Why did you do that? I obviously wound you up, maybe if you can’t take it, you shouldn’t try winding people up, the main thing I took from the article was how obese young people are these days.

No, sad to say your clutching at straws Martin, most people on here know your just looking for an argument, sad really a bit like your boat less photos on a boat forum. Are you so popular on Caravan forums?

You know what I’m on about Martin, you seam to have a fetish with everything I post, send me PM’s asking why I post, give Greenies to everyone that posts comments against me and have started a thread because I said a thread was boring. Weirdo.

You seam to follow everything I post?? Weird.

Yes, but when they show next to nowt experience and have shown little knowledge towards boat maintenance, maybe they shouldn’t try too hard to be experienced. Sprogs.

I believe it may be this one, looks a tidy well kept boat. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3UJZ4jAYwA/?hl=en

As you say not all brokers are members of the BMF and I doubt as you say “Told” is the correct wording, maybe advised as best practice . The BMF members cover a vast network of Marina’s and services. Both offshore and inland waterways and as Offshore seams a bit more strict with complying documentation, I imagine their advice would be followed more to the letter in the Offshore industry than Inland.

Some boating photos from the other week, not a beach or ice cream eating holiday snap in sight.

As I said Have a good New Year👍 Will put a couple of up to date boating photos on so people can get back on track😂

I don’t advise and I also don’t scaremonger, but you keep mentioning financial risk and the potential consequences of not having a complying boat, that brokers will not sell it, you could end up paying for a PCA, you’ll have to sell it privately with a substantial price reduction. However you offer no actual facts or hard evidence that any of these is a regular occurrence when selling a boat. That’s why I laugh as in the real world theses thing do not happen.

I hoped the same that people would take a hint and stop putting their boring holiday snaps on, like those of them walking down a street, taking a photo of someone taking a photo or walking the dog. Did you also send a PM to the other people that said it was becoming boring asking them “What exactly is your problem?” or was it just me and because I said it was becoming boring that you jumped on the opportunity to start a poll, that is in reality meaningless?

Are you for real? I was having a laugh with that reply, just like I have a laugh with your long replies that really say nothing to support your argument and beliefs in the RCD/RCR being a factor to worry about on a Narrowboat. Just scaremongering.

🤫 The forum RCD/RCR police will have you reported for having a non-complying boat 🤐

Nothing wrong with with any of the above, it’s just that IMO the thread has just got bombarded with boring holiday snaps by people putting on pics for the sake of it. Most of which are just bad pictures, both in subject, composition and quality.

Another one that scare mongers over the issue. As I said hundreds/thousands of second hand boats sold over the last few years through brokers and privately. A lot, if not the majority would not of had complying RCD/RCR’s, yet you still scare mongers over prosecution and financial loss. What planet are you living on? It’s obviously not a major consideration when buying or selling a second hand boat.

Don’t you just love Newbies.

Has become boring and has gone off the original title: “Tonic required. Send in your photos of what is nice on the waterways now” Has now just become a photo thread with too many holiday snaps of years gone past. Let’s stick with current “Now” photos.

Maybe it should be moved to a different section, History, Holidays?

You have mentioned this on most of the RCD/RCR threads regarding complying paperwork and brokers and have never come up with any real evidence or names of brokers that are turning boats away because they do not have an up to date RCR/RCD . I’m not talking about brand new boats or new self-fits, I’m talking older second hand boats like you mentioned post 1997. Surly with the hundreds/thousands of second hand boats that have been sold over the last couple of boom years, there must be loads of non-complying RCD/RCR cases out there, that have had legal action taken for failure to comply? Or does the lack of legal action for non complying boats, show that the RCD/RCR is not a factor when selling a secondhand Narrowboat?

Maybe with brand new boats that have been bought in the last couple of years and are being sold after a couple of years ownership. Brokers will still sell old boats over 5 years of age without a PCA or RCD/RCR(as has been stated many times on similar RCD/RCR threads) without the owner paying to get up to date confirming paperwork or being turned away by the broker for not having an up to date RCD

Maybe this applies to you more than anyone else on the forum.

Getting more like peoples Holiday snaps, the thread it is getting a bit boring though.

I know the picture of the one I put on will be at Barton, it’s the standard Semi-Trad reverse layout which most builders are doing as their base model, unless your looking at a bespoke custom interior, which IMO is a waste of money with a high depreciation level compared to a boat that will suit most people’s boating needs. I wouldn’t get too “viewed” on a brand new bespoke boat, they turn out expensive and often wasted money.
