  1. I did ... As to internal height I would once again check that in person as my experience of these craft normally have a 6' min floor to deck head height BUT no two craft are the same.....................
  2. This is my personal opinion ( I am a broker btw) Chris
  3. On the contrary, there also things that are not so great. The headroom in the ad says 1.8m, (which is a bit low), on the other hand it’s a smaller area to warm up in the winter. The engine also seems a little bit under powered (50hp) but they are planning to stays on canals only so I suppose it should be ok. ----- MORE than adequate There isn’t that much info in the ad so I thought it would be good to ask the owner the following questions: - when was she out of the water last? Good Question - is there a survey available? I would doubt it on a 2008 boat , best to commission your own prior to purchase - is there any service history available? Useful / check oils etc yourself - what kind of insulation was used? 2008 more than likely sprayfoam but not guaranteed - what type of blacking is the hull protected with (2 pack/bitumen)? Advert says 2 pack - is the engine dry or wet exhaust? I would find it unlikely it would be wet - what is the capacity of the batteries? batterys are a service item , you can always negotiate and fit more or larger
  4. Still continues to impress Chris
  5. Pete is alive well and retired, spends his time still playing various musical instruments of torture LOL Morgan 3 wheelers and Colonel I will pass on your regards when we meet up soon C
  6. Marine Engine Services ( Peter Thompson) is and was an independent business who rented premises at Uxbridge Boat Centre Initially Peter moved the Lister spares business to Eskdale Road , but continued to run the workshop from the end of the UBC yard This was then closed down and Dan Hollands took over separate premises at UBC and became the in house engineer. The current engineer in residence is ex High Line Yachting ( IIRC) BUT as always they run their own company and are not solely working for UBC --- Alan Boswell of UBC runs the yard side and controls aspects of docking, steelwork etc Hope this clears it all up Chris ( Ex Marine Engine Services)

  13. Following on from a chat with friends in the pub last night, I was asked a question that I admit I didn't know the answer to ! ( see I don't know everything LOL ) - If a motor or a butty had a fore cabin added would it have had its own stove ? and how would the cabin be laid out ? my thoughts were it just had 2 sorts of side beds BUT I cannot remember where that idea sprang from Chris
