Whatever they go for on eBay is going to the RNLI....

We do all realise the proceeds are going to charity, right?

Hi. Herbert Woods and the other hirers will tell you which of their boats can't get under (in my experience). And you need to use the Pilot too. I've only hired the old style sliding roof boats which a pretty low and go under ok.
You will be required to use a pilot anyway.
The pilot won't take a boat that wont fit. The boat description should say if it will fit under the bridge in normal conditions.
Cross-posted with you there. Agree completely.

Very funny "These are genuine fake artificial fake rivets and no liability can be held if other fake rivetted boats laugh at you on the cut"

Somewhat difficult on a mobile device where you have no toolbar.
Ah! That's why I can't find the bloody toolbar!

Almost speechless. All the time and advice freely given to someone who really seemed to need it. Plus genuine concern for safety. I find it difficult to believe those posts are from the same person.

You could ask SWMBO to put her handbag where the fire used to be.

Aha! And now I know what the boards on my bow locker are made of. An odd looking mesh board which looks exactly the same as recently googled pictures of Phenolic board. I had no idea it existed and was going to replace with marine ply.

Thanks for volunteering your time guys.

Anyone who posts this when the comments were about the impact of kids running out into the road with no notice in front of law abiding motorists won't be paying any attention. Already made their minds up without bothering about the circumstances. Motorists are evil.

Couldn't resist posting this. Anyone we know?

If it's more of a rattle it could be the bearing. Mines on the way out and does.

I'm sure I'm being daft, but how would hot water freeze faster? Doesn't it need to get cold long before freezing? Lost here.

Sounds good that you are already familiar with boating and not just looking for a cheap London pad. Look here www.watersidemooring.com. Sure you have seen it already, but netherless there have been London residential moorings listed here over the last few months. Good luck.

She does look lovely. Also, do you have any experience of boating? Holiday hires perhaps? I've always loved our waterways but will never convince Mrs J to live on them. It's very different to a house or flat and you will need to understand and be happy with the compromises.

Welcome to the forum. I like the look of the boat. But 85k wide beams are way out of my experience. However it's not about age. The condition and fit out much more so. Experts will be along and they will agree you need a full buyers survey to confirm condition and value before considering parting with that sort of money....

Lol. Not sure it works so well at 4mph. The kids I meant, not the beer....

I have never had that problem with any hire boat (Thames, Broads or canals). But my idea idea of a boating holiday is to cruise for more than 5 hours a day. Only a problem now we have our own boat. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to do same on our boat but unfortunately need to hold down a full time job to pay for itBoat hire fleets don't expect their hirers to obsess about battery charging. The most common call-out for Valley Cruisers used to be 'The telly has stopped working and all the lights have gone dim'. Service engineer would drive out with a new battery and give a gentle lecture on cruising hours versus tv watching. Two days later they'd be back on the phone.
I would agree with that suggestion. For 5 hours you'll be saying "Oh look, 14.4V"
