Slow_Dancing

@Stroudwater1 Ah! I misunderstood. No probs. Thank you Dorlan. You know, One of the reasons I'm renaming her is every time - every time - I use her name I call her Blue Heron. I'm really looking forward to seeing Slow Dancing on her hull.

Awesome thank you! A new line to tug.

They used to manufacture under Stourport? That's very interesting thank you. And yes she's a lovely boat. Or was and will be again. She has a few original features I'd like to keep. The metal plate is definitely one of them. The gallery is another if I can rescue it.

Yes 30 foot. That's interesting, I guess my eye is not experienced enough to make that out.

It's down as a Stourport Classic in all the paperwork I have. The name is on the side of the boat (and I'm planning on changing that). I have seen some Stourport 27s offered for sale but the links are dead so all I have with that is the few lines you get on the google search. Searching for pictures led me to a link for a 27 in the Jones boatyard archives which is basically mine but without the cabin at the back. http://www.jonesboatyard.co.uk/boat-sales/classic-27-by-stourport-boats-for-sale.html That's were I hit a dead end.

She's a work in progress. 30ft built in 1984.

Hi, I don't know if this is the right place to ask but I'm new to boating so... My boat is a Stourport Classic. I've searched on Google and apart from some dead apolloduck links I've been unable to find anything out about this make of boat. Does anyone here know any information or of any sites with info? A Stourport group maybe? I'm really just looking for history and such Virtual gongoozling if you will...

Thank you all for your replies. It sounds from what everyone is saying that the cost isn't worth it. I don't mind the long walks with my trolly for the petrol tbh. Power is a concern. It's been suggested to me that solar and a small generator for the winter days is a good way to go as we are not heavy electricity users. You have given me something to think about thank you.

Hello from a newbie. I've recently brought my first boat, she's a 30ft, 6'10 beam and she's a 1984 Stourport Classic. I'm interested in finding out how much it would cost me to convert her from a petrol outboard to a diesel inboard. She's a center cockpit and there's room under the cockpit for an engine from what I can tell. Can I have some advice on how to go about finding how much this would cost and if it's feasible. Thank you.
