  2. Boat Moving

    in New to Boating?

    Grammar and auto text

    It is going by water to Roydon marina, I have been speaking to another Helm about the move, it's the lack of contact and updates that concern me about using remote, I understand things happen, but a quick one liner would go a long way. Being taken via brentford not down to Limehouse on the thames.

    Hi all

    I had been speaking with a company to move my nb at the beginning of March from Surrey to Essex, I have been trying to contact them to get confirmation  of this happening but have been unable to make contact, which is not inspiring me with confidence, have found another company a little bit more but can still complete my time frame, whats your thoughts on this.

     

    Regards

    If you're planning for extra capacity, the 12/2000 is a big price hike for very little extra power -- if you need this at all. EUR prices:

     

    Multiplus Compact 12/1600/70 -- EUR942

    Easyplus Compact 12/1600/70 -- EUR 972, +EUR30 including 230V ac distribution so simpler install

    Multiplus Compact 12/2000/80 -- EUR1177, +EUR235 for +400W (not much!)

    Multiplus II 12/3000/120 -- EUR1342, +EUR400 for +1400W -- much better bet for "future-proofing" (if you need this much power, and batteries to support it)

     

    So if you think the MP1600 isn't big enough (but you can run a lot of stuff off this!), an MPII-3000 (and more batteries) is a much better option than the MP2000.

     

    If you're happy with 1600W and want simplicity and low cost, the Easyplus is a good choice.

    Dis board is already in place for 240v, and for peace of mind I would rather pay the extra for the named brand, as stated if it goes wrong it should bee easier to get fixed, if I can manage the larger unit I will, just for a bit of future proofing

    Hi all

     

    The supplier is battery megastore, the biggest energy hog I will have is the fridge, which I will replace with a newer and more efficient model, I am going to try for the 12/2000, bit of belt tightening so fingers crossed, I did think about separate units but prefer all in one for simplicity and overall cost.

    I have found a new Mooring for the new year will be in a marina on shore power, just about to get the solar panels fitted, looks like I'm needing a new inverter/charger and neew fridge, going 240v for fridge freezer, the best inverter I can afford is the victron 12/1600 multiplus, does anyone have experience with this model, need to order this week for fitting next week when the panels are done

    Thanks in advance

    I will check out Wilkos, got new cabinet doors and drawer fronts in hand, new lighting organised, new power power points and switches ect organised, the funny thing is it is the big ticket stuff that is taking time as I'm waiting on others to get to it, seems to be a lack of urgency, but I'm getting all the finishing touches done, and yes these are fun lol

    Hi

    Finance is through promarine, from the seller below;

     

    Also, we thought we'd say that the finance provider we used was a company called Promarine Finance (https://www.marine-finance.org/) - if you wanted to also corroborate that we have all of the original paperwork - they're the ones holding onto it all until the loan amount is paid off and would be able to confirm that it's all there.

     

    I think I'm going to have to ask them to get it paid out first before I proceed as that seems the safest course.

    Well I'm normally pretty polite but, pull your head in, I have asked a question about a boat I have found to purchase, that has finance on it, they have given me the finance company name but obviously that does not help, should I just say needs to be paid and then we can proceed, they have there survey from 8 months ago when they purchased and the previous owners from about 12 months ago.

    The boat is open plan which they said put people off but actually I like, IS THAT OK WITH YOU, no windup
