streamline

It was a boat bought in the mid 80's so not sure what standards were then or if they changed. May just have been a good practice thing. Or as you say, could be getting mixed up, it was a very long time ago. Anyway one thing for sure, we never got any water/wet in the cabin bilge of the boat for the years we had it. Very nice boat, I think it was a Jaris.

I know the cabin bilge would need to be sealed upto 10inches, is what we were told when buying one new boat. But draining into the stern engine bilge seemed quite a common thing. Float and pump didn't always work though, plus battery problems could lead to bad outcomes.

Hi 'Dot' is that you.

If you go for this boat, then I wish you luck with it. Not sure of the advice given, or at least some of it on here. But it is a big project, so good luck if you buy it.

That's nice to hear. Sounds like he is doing well, which is always good thing. I wonder if it's still Mike at Mirfield.

I wonder if it's still Mike at Mirfield, he ran a brokerage and Gordon at Calder Valley. They were both very helpful to us a long time ago when they worked together, we bought our son a starter boat from them. We loved the waterways up there, so scenic and also industrial which had a beauty too.
