  1. Seems like such a good choice! First one I have seen and just seems to make sense.
  2. Could be. Have not looked to see what standard sizes are. Might be a bit wide. Good point.
  3. I know pram hoods are sort of love or hate relationship. Ugly but useful. I have always wondered why you don't see Bimini tops on NBs. They are probably still ugly to most people but they would keep you dry(er) and give you shade on a hot day. They are quick to put up down when you come to bridge. Just unhook two hooks and you can lay then flat on the roof or the back rail, depending on how you set it up. There is no side curtains so they are not as dry as a Hood but seems to me to still be useful.

  5. I see no reason not to put it as low as you can. If they both run at the same time thats not a problem. It could be argued putting a second up higher for emergencies but I prefer a dry bilge on my boat.
  6. Wrote an answer but don't see it. But yes, you apply for a VISA. You can ever pay and be pay to in the Health Insurance plan. Been a while since I looked at it so don't remember all the details.
  7. Hey neighbor! You story sounds much like ours. We are north of you in North AL. Retiring in a couple of years and we plan on getting Visas so we can stay long term. Have plans on renting a boat next year for a few weeks to test the waters so speak. Amazing how similar our stories are.

  9. Appreciate all the comments. It is something I have wondered for a long time. And no doubt Panic can freeze someone in their tracks!
  10. Yes, I edited my original post. Thank you.
  11. WOOPS I said gates and I meant paddles.
  12. Reading the story on the boat in Kegsworth lock it has raised a question I have had about this type of accident. If you see what is happening fast enough can you not just close the gate(s) paddles emptying the lock? Then fill the lock enough to float the boat off. Or is the water flow through there to much to allow the gates to close?
  13. It would largely depend on how much insulation you have on in the ceiling. If you have a lot I can't see how it would make any difference.
  14. Not in the UK but since most everything is imported I will assume you have the same issues there. I work on a few cars and boats and the quality of replacement aftermarket parts is terrible. It is not uncommon for brand new parts to not work of fail shortly after being installed. Aftermarket brands are the worst! I am to the point I gladly pay for the factory replacements because the quality is better. Me, I would buy the factory replacement. While I agree that factory replacement parts are high, overpriced even. There is a reason the aftermarket part is $20 too.
  15. No expert by any means, but working with wood boats I can't imagine just screwing a new plank on top of rotten one. Overplating appears to be basically the same thing.
