Mine desperately needs blacking. Is it too early in the year? Am thinking a dry dock is always going to be a damp environment any time of year. Cold temperatures too must make a difference ?

Thats lovely to know, good old fashioned service. Rare nowadays. Look forward to getting there.

Well i have keys to the boat and registered in my name with CRT. Still chasing bill of sale however.

Broker has not sent me bill of sale yet. Funds only transferred this week. Assume he needs vendor to complete this, saying it is free of debt and unencumbered etc. Other posts on here appear to suggest this is the norm.

But you dont get that until you have paid your money . Seems an odd way to do business

Well have just paid for a boat and few days on i have access to boat, keys are left at marina that broker works out of, but said i could take keys away with me. Have owners manual BSC etc ...so do i own a boat or should i wait for seller to return bill of sale i have signed before i relax?

The manager is chap we dealt with. Very helpful despite not having firm dates for arrival was understanding and flexible. Cant get there now till Easter due to culvert collapse but they said no problem deposit on mooring will be held and dates will only start when we arrive. So far quite impressed with customer service.

Currently my boat is at Nantwich booked into Overwater but cant get there till Easter. Cant go North as works at Beeston locks and wont get far on Barbridge link as have works ongoing on a bridge near Middlewhich. It appears i have bought a very expensive static caravan.....

Have recently bought a boat from Nantwhich, have secured a mooring at Overwater, but of course cant get there due to culvert collapse and can't go North due to works at Beeston. Global warming or poor maintenace by CRT ?

Yes that's it, new to this so didnt spot it,. Thanks for replies non the less

Friend of mine moving his boat to enable medical treatment has reported stoppage at Anderton. Nothing on CRT site. Anyone know where to get further news?

I have to add that the survey, carried out by Rick Tropman was very thorough with over 20 pages of facts rather than a dozen pages of caveats and waffle like many have seen. Happy to reccomend him, very professional.

No corresponding bump outside so doubt impact damage. Yes they can be pushed back.

Just to confirm, they are not bulging through damp swelling, just where 2 panels meet vertically the fixing has come off the hull behind causing a deflection in section of wall . The panels are in excellent condition

Survey yesterday and hull etc all good. However inverter and webasto not working but broker has agreed to fix / replace. Main worry is bulge on 1 internal wall. Surveyor thought timber vertical rail, poss held in with sprayfoam had come loose bringing int vertical batten and MDF panel with it. This bulge is only around 20mm . You can see the deflection as you look down length of boat. Should i be worried? A deal breaker or something to negotiate price down?
