  2. Vetus - its like buying Victron quite simply quality is always worth paying for - if you can't afford a good one I would rather go without
  3. Surecal every time not only is th tank good but the insulation is brilliant and tough enough to leave it exposed.

  6. Where is a good RURAL spot to go by car take the dogs for a walk and get the feel of its good spots............

  8. You are assuming todays parents are a good role model or even understand the concept of what the "job" is and its end product - innit This bloke should definitely be reported to both CRT and the local Police - after you are well clear of him and his boat of course - a tendency towards antisocial behaviour soon escalates
  9. Thanks Only thinking of visiting............... Is doing all of it (at a sensible pace say 5hr days?) in a week do-able??
  10. Thanks - just exploring a thought to hire on here for a week in Sept or April
  11. I'm a very experienced boater but I know nothing of this canal at all ........... How busy is it How hire boat dominated is it I see "wider" boats on it but according to the CRT dimensions chart they cant cruise all of it - roughly what % can they use Is it a leisure/holiday canal or a floating housing estate Is depth an issue Is it restricted on moorings or can you moor reasonable freely on most of its length Are there places to avoid - antisocial behaviour etc? Is it a hidden gem?? All factual info gratefully received J
  12. Sorry only just seen this - yes I did Obviously try Walsh's BUT have you tried the guy who runs the Gardner owners club Steve Gray 07802 494492 VERY helpful bloke. J
  13. Perfectly OK so long as it is dry/seasoned
  14. I'm bored already ...................... what's the point of it - do you know anything about canals - have you even got a boat? BTW - I'm totally genuine?
  15. lets hope so - shame there wasn't anyone in the wings to take over.................
  16. PLEASE listen and don't get sucked in BUY USED - we have bought new in the past and really regretted it - you will have at least a year of sorting out problems and the worst period of depreciation - this is based on experience with one of the best builders out there albeit in their early days.
  17. Since posting I've done a bit of research on Liverpools for you and £30k seems to be about the going rate for good ones - the size and age are working for you so if after all the advice you still like it start low - if you do move forward make sure you don't get into the deposit trap of only getting your money back if a certain value of work is identified - all the various pre purchase stages are potentially fraught with "trips" - lots of advice available here so keep asking questions.......
  18. £35-40k if you are already talking about a refit - its over 20 years old and 50ft so not in the "most popular/sought after" bracket
  19. NO and IMHO Coventry was a bad decision - would you want coming out of Coventry these days to be your first experience of the canal system
  20. remember half term will have an impact so avoid it if you can...........
  21. I do think that is the right way to go - far better an average boat on a great canal than vice versa.......
  22. ...................or better still got one they want to sell???? might be worth a "wanted" ad??
  23. ........................ they probably are the newest and most up market
  24. Yes the boat is important (I like Wyvern Shipping) BUT think about the location that comes with it and the cruising range 2 days out and back - the Wyatts yard in Stone (Canal Cruising Company Ltd) which will give you the chance to explore the Leek and Caldon
  25. My "annual cleaning" - refers to a regimen of Mr Muscle drain cleaner in all drains and checking all fittings for the reasons identified above - clears dog and human hairs particularly well
