    If you use the address of someone living in their one, they risk losing their single person Council Tax discount.

    Yes realise that and also if your using family or friends address they could be on benefits that having you down as living there could mess them up, unless its in a care of

    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

    I know of a rebuilt Kelvin K2 about to be for sale. 2 cylinder 44hp and more power than you would ever need for rivers. Looks and sounds lovely.

     

    Let me know if you're interested.

     

    Kind regards

    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 ?
