i have just won this boat on ebay, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Springer-narrowboat-26ft-/273387230756?ul_noapp=true&nma=true&si=4ZF0op1V62mIrazdbQmU05863C8%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
im concerned that i may get ripped off, i have been and left a deposit,and from the outside the hull ect looks solid,theres a few holes on the back deck but heres the story,it was some guy who was doing it up gave up,sold it to the ebayers dad where its stood for 10 years, he bought it off his dad and has spent 6 months working on it, but he know nothing about boats not even what everything called,but if its stolen surley you would steal a nicer boat,but my main issue is he has an old survey from when his dad acquired it ,its clearly says its a cruiser stern,and it looks semi trad to me,any thoughts
