'Fraid not, we've owned her from last survey to current one.

Hi ya, the counter plate is 10mm, and under the engine is 10mm, but apparently there's a welded section on the base plate that's only 6mm - hasn't shown on any previous survey, and it's just seems a strange thing? Hey, this is interesting, thank you for this. All previous surveys have shown base and counter plate all 10mm - and the current surveyor has said 10mm counter and 10mm under the engine, but apparently the rest is 6mm - just seems strange? Current surveyor is saying 10mm under engine and counter, but the rest of the base plate is 6mm - all other surveys say base plate is the same.

I have a 1990 brummagen 63 foot cruiser stern, and am trying to find out what the original build secs were - specifically base plate thickness. I know, bit of a long shot 😅 but have just had a surveyor tell me the base plate is two different thicknesses... and if anyone can shed any light that would be great.

Boat length is 60ft - i've not found anything around newbury, basingstoke or Guildford for less than £2800.00 -- and that's IF they have any vacancies for long term, leisure. (A year at a time) -- We're trying to get the mooring pinned down before we lay down a deposit on a boat.

gotcha, i'll stop moaning. I originally started researching moorings at Leic and up, and they were £1500 ish. Everything's more expensive down here.

thanks for this @Ditch Crawler - i hadn't found this Facebook group I'm off to join it now.

I know Right. I've found one in newbury; leisure mooring with no amenities, no parking, with access down a hill, 3K - i'm almost convinced thats a bargain. ?

thanks for your help that's great. The boat we're interested in - I've just sent the poor bloke a list of questions a mile long. ?

Howdy, we've been lurking round quite a few boat yards and marina's for months now, but we're just not finding a boat that has that 'right' feeling. We have found one for sale privately, which is why I'm trawling through all the forums here - as i don't know how safe i feel buying a boat that way. We have a couple of marinas where we can moor her, (they're pricey though, as its down south) and i'm in the process of trying to find a standard online mooring on the kennet and avon. (Which i'm getting the feeling are like gold dust.) My brain is fried to be honest.

Hi all, i'm a newby and thought i'd say hi. The himself and I currently have boat money burning a hole in our pockets, and all we seem to do is spend our time scrawling through for sale ads, calling out boat specs to each other. But it's a way to pass the time. Glad to be here, Jo ?
