Read the advert an 8000 narrowboat that throws in the probably essential at that price buoyancy aids, therefore honest.

Narrow boat 9.140 meters long. Buoyancy Aids. £8,000.00 Ending 1 Jan at 8:22AM GMT8d 2hCollection in person Overly pessimistic seller I suggest

I'm too young for saga but my boats too old. Never ever give them your email address. Emails for retirement homes,mobility scooters, funeral plans, inheritance planning. I really should ask them about insuring my racing bikes for full competitive racing max speed over 80kph in some of the hill races here. Might stop them offering me aids for the ancient, and accident cover.

Small brasso can under flap. cabin hook from underneath wooden wedge three methods over the years.

Steered a Ricky motor with a ratty (rattly) Sr4 once engine room roof exhaust etc. Very quiet. 3 inch oak sides wooden engine bearers and a thick timber top reduced the noise to a pleasant hum. Much better than my steel motor with ha2 rattling steel doors rattling slides rattling pigeon box and hard reflecting surfaces. Resonances galore load of noise. couldnt keep up either wooden boats are fast.

Could you weld the rivets in place?

I suspect glue on overplate rather than cut out and repair is what you are suggesting. Given bonding currently happens in a clean environment you will never get it clean enough. Cutting out and re sticking in plates pointless

ive enlarged (with a drill) a rust hole in the boat before, so the boat fitted the bolt rather than visa versa, and put a patch on the footings using a piece of steel and four bolts and 'ponge' it's the same as riveting but quieter, and cheaper. We didn't have a big enough generator to weld. you can now get fillers that set under water.

I drew the line in the end the day I found myself hammering the isopon tin flat and then fastening it with the contents of the tin to the inside wheel arch of my triumph.

Electromagnets run off the boat batteries. dear canalworld experts how long will it take to charge my batteries to stop the plates falling off the hull. i an strangly attracted to this bit of piling and therefore I am now a continuous moorer. on a serious note there are already good enough chemical bindings available but the metal has to be clean enough and the bond complete (watertight) jaguars are glued.

Magnets

Probably on the phone texting and Facebook simultaneously as well as bong coffee fag and stubby. That's why buses like 95% of cars round here are automatic and trees are afraid. bring on driverless cars

Commute to work by boat according to continuous cruising regs? Taking kids to school Complaints that they are moving providing evidence continuous cruising? No water tank ?keeping batteries charged? May have oars and the banging noise is stroke drum ..Strange behaviour but there is probably a reason.

Now I've retired I find all the selfish noisy people driving past on the road at 630 going to work wake me up. Can't they move somewhere else.

But you are missing the fact that your inverter on no load should not kill your batteries. We used to leave ours on all the time pretty much so our electrics used to come on. It appeared to use only minuscule amounts of power when idle but on.

Really that's new information to me ( having been forced to remove an internal tank in the past) so I can connect up a reflex stove nowadays without having an external filler and vent. That's good news. Never knew why I could have sodding great triangle tanks in the engine hole vented into the engine hole but had to have a separate vented tank for the heating.

Smellchucker for unvented

I would think that heater would invalidate coc. I remember refusing to insure boats pre coc because they had devices with invented or internal fuel tanks. Particularly barges on tidal Thames with wheeled super ser heaters

My mg metro looked much like that after I removed the rusty bits

You just need a lot of sailors with sponges

Given that loads of people ask about charging regimes for the few amps required for fridges lights and phones and are advised that this requires hours of charging, running a fat boat on batteries is simply silly, unless you run a huge genny all day and night until you want to go boating then turn it off. 10 minutes later you tie up and start the process again...

You need an freezofan. They are a new innovation instead of failing to blow hot air around they sit in the cold part of your room and repel the hot air, by cunningly blocking airflow. They have large vane shaped blades that by failing to turn , fill up the space previously occupied by the cold air hence reducing the airmass in the room and forcing the warm air to floor level. proposed price. $60 postage $60 returns $60 ( verification of fault fee) send cash to; Australian snake oil manufacturing plc The old power station Latrobe Valley vic.

The MG was well tuned stage 3 plus but not up to v8 jam sandwich. Anything else police was debatable . spitfire stage 2 fast but fearful round roundabouts of yiewsley and west Drayton. We ended up putting a 2 litre Dohc Alfa engine into a brown mk3 cortina estate ( coz we could) that certainly confused people as we did nothing to the rusty body and added 1300 badges. Fun days and we survived, no one got hurt. police got very enthusiastic about my lime green Saab coupled with us living on the boat. Rushed to interview us after reports of body being dumped out of lime green Saab in Nottingham into canal ( car was regd there while we lived on boat in uxbridge.) polic pulled me into shovel car park and started arresting me. Then one walked to back of my car and shouted to his partner' forget it it's a saloon not a hatch. ' The other cop looked at me and said you've grown up a bit we haven't had this one stolen yet how's the MG.. never got nicked and ended up working with the home office and police in later years...
