  1. There is a recent vlog, I think it maybe the one where the taller one, the artist/magician ( I forget their names), is filling with another 200+ litres, states that with hindsight they maybe shouldn't have gone electric. Surprised Oakums didn't ask them to edit that out considering they apparently made them an offer they couldn't refuse on this boat build. I'm also surprised they haven't burnt out the bow thruster yet, as the shorter one, who does most of the driving, uses it as his sole method of manouevre.
  2. I spose Aqualine and Collingwood have their place on the water as Bellway and Persimmon do on land......
  3. What about 2 of them, seperate ablutions are the secret to a happy marriage....... I'm not, but there's nowt stopping me from starting on a thread on 'em 😀
  4. I could start a new thread asking about the merits of bow thrusters, even a stern thruster too, in order to take the heat off the OP, I'm thick skinned.
  5. Melton Mowbray o'course. Due to be moored, when we get it, around Foxton Locks ish, which I thought was somewhere near where Matty40s is, or the lock I've seen his boat parked in anyway......now this got very convoluted.
  6. So from a newbie.....who's the (apparently not so) well respected boatyard then, as they appear to be in my neck of the woods?
  7. I've heard anecdotal evidence of Collingwood new build's epoxy peeling off in sheets after 2 years. My new build will be shot blasted to remove mill scale prior to being epoxied, I think it has to be, to get Jotun's full warranty.
  8. Diesel, its not Finesse, I aint got millions 😀
  9. I'm generally a confident person, but feel I'm also confident in the limits of my own knowledge currently. I don't want to be over confident with an expensive new boat, that's when something snaps up and bites you. It is
  10. Boats going to south of Leics, just figured I'd use the experienced help until the non tidal bit (Newark best drop off point) and then do it myself, with the Mrs, from there?
  11. Is Keadby lock to somewhere in Newark , south of Cromwell lock, doable by someone of experience/boatmover in a day in mid summer? About 13 hours? Or would you give it 2 days? Ta.
  12. I am going to be in the same predicament in June/July. Sheffield to south of Leics on the GU somewhere. 90 mins in the car, a lot longer by boat! Not planning on being without experience Keadby to Newark!
  13. Yeah just wondered if anyone would stick their head above the parapet or is everyone totally legit. I do plan to continue to use my dodgy Firestick for TV reception.
  14. Thanks all, I'm fully aware of the legalities, hence why I didn't ask about them.
