  1. Athy your right. I'll go away and sneak back with an alternative account and leave this thread to be toyed with.
  2. What exactly are you here for? What do you think information technology is for? Forums are for tuition not drama!
  3. I am happy to have learned what I have so far. Can anybody tell me anything about the kind of electrics and batteries I should think about?
  4. This is a thread for learning about what I may need to do to get my 1st narrowboat. Talk about Narrowboats please.

  7. Thank you a surveyor should inspect the hull of my the boat out of water and then test the engine in the water. I understand. Lol. It's in the same time frame of when the >survivor< visits. Talk about Narrowboats please.
  8. I ask myself the same question. I will insist on a in water survey. I guess the out water survey could be about the condition of exterior.
  9. That's easy. Gold. Just kidding series I know this is a tough one. I have no clue. Do you mean there's 2 stages? Is this compulsory?
  10. I am very grateful thank you. What a cool forum this is. Understood this is why I keep finding boats for sale that are not in the water.
  11. Hello Max Can you please run me through this survey thing? May I hire a surveyor to meet me at the address where the narrowboat is and get an inspection done before purchasing it?
  12. This is all so new Max I naturally thought about bringing it to where I am now. It never occurred to me that the world is my oyster. I think i'll do a bit of travelling instead.
  13. I wanted to strip it down to the bare minimum because I was not thinking. I then wanted an engine. I then wanted electric and on and on... I now know it is not a project I want. I want to buy a 2nd hand one and rip out all the lovely pillows. I'll cruise I understand the home mooring to be just like buying or renting land.
  14. You have all been a grate help so far
  15. I think I confused the situation. I now realise that a home mooring would be needed after bringing it back only if that was where I intended to stay. I want to come and go as I please. I had not thought it all through when I wrote that.
  16. Thank you. I guess I need electric, insulation, panelled walls, stove and toilet facilities including a shower.
  17. Thank you. Thank you. 1. Buy a boat with a valid boat safety certificate (Updated every 4-years.), get it insured and buy a license. 2. I may be able to moor for free all the way back unless the local sign say otherwise. Rivers are different story. 3. A home mooring is a permanent mooring for when I get back. I now understand what Tim meant by hoops through terms of distance travelled within a year. I think this should be easy. I also understand that the home mooring can be expensive. I wanted a sailaway shell at first. I need utilities, I was not thinking strait.
  18. Thank you Tim. That was helpful 1. Buy a boat with a valid boat safety certificate, get it insured and buy a license. 2. I may be able to moor for free all the way back unless the local sign say otherwise. Rivers are different story. 3. What is home mooring?
  19. Thank you too! I'm already learning a lot. I'm looking for a sailaway shell.
  20. I want to go fishing ;)

  21. Yes! Thanks! That's exactly what I want! Are shells cheaper too?
  22. I am about to start saving towards my very first boat and I want it to be a narrowboat. I plan to buy one somewhere in England and drive it back to London. 1. I understand that a boat has an MOT in the form of a certificate and that part follows the boat in question. 2. I'm guessing the mooring will be taken care of too because the boat will be in water and I could handle the rest of the moorings on the way back with the boat if and when I need to rest. 3. I have no license. I want to buy the boat and then take a crash course. Please hold my hand and guide me through this puzzle.
  23. I like narrowboats. They are classy and distinguished affordable homes. I have been browsing through many websites featuring boats for sale, I always love what I see and I can't wait to get one and strip it down so I can renovate it to my own taste.
