Hi
Looking at buying a canal boat privately not through a brokers, so would be looking to get legal advice or have a lawyer draw up documents to safe guard me as a buyer.
Any advice welcome
Regards

Hi
1. Is it advisable to have the mill scale removed by shop blasting or is it ok to overpaint mill scale ? on a narrow boat new build.
2. Are there any problems associated with cosmetic false rivets ? or is it wiser to keep the hull clear of such trinkets
Regards

In the first post you say "I am having a boat built...".
If you build it yourself it is a self build. If you are having it built it is not.
Hi
I am having the hull built by a boat bulider, and after that I am project managing the build using individual contractors and I do believe that is classed as a self build correct me if wrong ? not sure if going away from engines

33 minutes ago, Athy said:The problem is that, following new legislation brought in this year by a bunch of Bruxellois spoilsports who wouldn't know a narrowboat from a hole in the ground, you may not be able to have a vintage engine fitted in your new-build boat as it will not comply with E.U. memissions regulations.
But assuming that you could...
- You can get a new RN but not a new Gardner ( the last 2LW was built about 1999).
- A new RN DM2 will cost about £16,000.
- You can get fully rebuilt 2LWs, i.e. they are old on the outside (the engine was in production from 1931 to 1973 and then again in the '90s so some of the outsides are VERY old) but new inside. These would probably be cheaper than an RN. I paid £11,000 for mine although that was in 2006.
I would suggest that you should seek an existing boat which suits your needs (and whose vintage engine will be legal if the boat was built up to the end of 2016).
Hi
I thought if it was a self build, and you kept in for 5 years that you were exempt from the RCD ?
-
Laughing. Which one is very expensive ?
-
Ok so next question should it be a Gardner or Russell Newbery pros and cons between the two as these are my two favoured
