    What does that make Baltic then?
  3. Speedwheel
    Don't forget to tell Sue.

    But I was hoping to collect the set!

    It was up for £18K. Now down at £16k. If I was looking for a boat to live on I would have that like a shot.

    One half was refitted and put into another boat (very nice it was too). I think the other half is awaiting an owner.

    I guess the picture was taken in 2005. It had been converted previously. It was purchased for peanuts but ended up needing new bottom, footings, cabin, engine, counter and swim - a new boat would have been cheaper. ETA rivets welding up, plating behind knees, some knees refitting, plating on the bow, pulling the whole boat in - a new boat would have been much cheaper!

    It is.

    I know exactly which boat is is Alan.... you do too!

    Who got this one then? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Traditional-bargeware-dipper-well-decorated-good-condition-/171516641876

    Found all the pictures of you doing it. A few there of you with a moustache.

    I think my mother found records showing Baltic had been repaired in the 1840s.
  14. Speedwheel
    Now down to £23k.

    Except he could get more than that for Albion and avoid the work.

    If you want something to work with and are not to worried about it being historic, what about this? It's been on the market for a long time so you could probably get it for nearer £20k (depending on survey of course). I rather like those engines too. http://narrowboats.apolloduck.co.uk/feature.phtml?id=372088

    Wow. Thanks for that!
  20. Speedwheel
    Any ideas? I think it is boat related.
  21. Speedwheel
    Yes, that has been raised - along with a couple of other points. She could really do with going now - now that another toy has recently been purchased.

    This chap did it - though, reading through it, I think the conversion was as much about being an interesting project for him as it was about offering real world savings or advantages. http://worcesternb.blogspot.co.uk/

    Yes, it's Ron's work. So is this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261589939350?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

    For sale .... well, it was.
  25. Speedwheel
    You want a barrel bottomed boat for minimal wash.
