thanks badger i wil be buyin one mate

hi im keith from essex i have been saving up for my first boat for over two years now . it seems forever . i get it at the end of jan 2009 . its a 57ft trad tim tyler shell . i purchased as a sailaway .. with engine . windows . insulated and a few other extras . so i have to paint outside ... do electrics .. line it out and create my individual layout .. ive done a lot of wood work in the vpast so i wont find it that hard ... ive been on many narrowboats . however ive never navigated one .. im looking forward to it .. found the forum great for advice looking forward to meeting boaters ... only a few weeks ill have me boat ... thanks and hi to everyone keith

hi i purchased a van 5 years ago it had been stolen it was a private sale . the idetification had been changed . i also paid out for the aa to inspect it should it be stolen . the out come was the van had to go back the original owner . i lost my eleven grand . however the police told me had it been paid out on the insurance as regards loss to the origanel owner . i could of kept the van . and i could of told the insurer who paid out where to go .. and i was unlucky the insurance did not pay out so the van had to go back .. i learnt a big lesson that year . ive only bought through a dealer ever since and local so i can go back to them .. and ive just ordered a brand new vsailaway . as i never want to get caught again .. so im sorry 2 hear should you lose out .. and for any one having inspetions done by the aa 4 a vehicle ... they told me i was not a prudent purchaser and they were not going to pay out .. i gave up fighting the aa in the end .....

hi thanks for all your replys i will go with the stainless steel .. thankyou all

hi to everyone on the forum im knew to boating and im ordering a new sailaway lined in two weeks .. i understand having a water tank in stainless steel needs less maintenance ... can i not just put a plastic tank in . in the space where the s/steel water tank goes .. or can you not get access to it once the boat has been built ? thanks keith
