Typical remoaner comment.

People who do not speak English are not a race so it is not racist, get your facts right before you shout your mouth off.

If your dream comes true, what do you dream about then?

Do not use a calor gas heater inside the boat, carbon monoxide build up is huge and can kill you without you knowing anything about it, until in the morning when you wake up dead.

I Hake it when that happens, but i guess it was not intestinal.

Have you seen journey with Jono on you tube, he has a semi cruiser stern, looks good i think.

So do i, looks great, nice and cosy.

Any news?

Composting toilet contents.

Ah, ok then, good luck, if it feels right then do it.

Why not post a link to the boat, or have i missed it?

Hot baked beans with grated cheese melted in, pour over toast with Marmite on, lush.

Do not use 120 grit, use a 360/400 otherwise the scratches will show as soon at the new paint dries. remember that painting anything is all about the preparation, the best paint in the world wont cover poor prep. Over 20 years painting cars.

Just one thing here, you say you do not swim, i would learn quickly if i were you, it might save your life one day. As your wife has mobility issues she most probably will not be in a position to help you out if you go in the water, or worse still she goes in, a life jacket/flotation device will help but you need to be able to swim. Every boat owner will at some point take an unexpected dip. About 20+ years ago i bought my first boat, a 25 foot Seamaster, on a marina near Bristol. Needed a good polish so the first Sunday of ownership there i am polishing all the gelcoat like a madman finishing at the bow, i take a step back to admire my handywork on the front deck. At this point i realised that if i had gone for a 27 foot boat i would have had some deck left to stand on instead of thin air now under my feet, so after a backward somersault of Olympic standards i then found myself admiring the condition of the hull and the anti fouling paint from a fishes viewpoint. I popped up out of the water, but i was lucky, i can swim, you never know when it will happen.

I am one of the old lucky ones, i can eat a bag of nuts without my head changing shape.

Numpty is a person whos IQ does not exceed their shoe size.

If it is 4/5 years old is probably past its best assuming there is no problem with the car, alternator or belt problem. Is the car in daily use and is it driven or just quick hops into town, might just need a good run now and again, but it does sound like a cell gone.

5500 will buy you a camper/motorhome with heating then you have transport as well, loads on ebay. Get the boat when you sell the house.

Only had a problem once with a cassette toilet, that was in my caravan. Always check there is no one on it when you pull the cassette out, guess how I know this.

Did the bow section come off the Bismark?

I have a small cabin cruiser on Lake Ohrid in Macedonia with a 9.9 outboard, license is needed to pilot that as well.
