And Rose Narrowboats used to stock 16ft longshafts - perhaps they sent their own transport to collect them! I've an idea they no longer sell them which would be a shame if true.
-
I agree. BUT.... I suspect the first week we get of stonkingly good weather will see all those sensibly-priced boats you mention sold or under offer subject to survey, and the next tranch of boats new to the market will all be £10k more expensive.
-
And while this is going on, someone else rocks up and pays the £50k...

This would explain the petrol in the river but does it explain the engine stalling? If so, what is the mechanism causing it to stall?
-
Not if it shares with 147 other barge poles....

AAh yes, although I suspect you may mean Tim, AKA mrsmelly who is much missed on here and was an ardent Brexiteer and Boris Johnson fan. He was SO happy when that ghastly brexit vote result came in!

Tricky isn't it? Had it not caught fire there might not be a need for an insurance claim. On the other hand its quite shocking that the boat wasn't found sooner, and without the fire. But then the absence of any photos or other information was almost as though they didn't want it to be found. On the other, other hand, heading north like that up a blind alley suggests the thieves knew nothing about boating and when they eventually figured it out they set fire to it, pushed it out and scarpered, rather than go back past where they nicked it from.

Yep, I cam up with the same number. And approx 20litres displacement if dropped in so will easily float. And yep as you say, I expect Ian will be along soon to say the same thing but in 14 paragraphs

Yet another of the many benefits of leaving the EU. Stopped all them furriners coming over here and taking all our jobs eh?!
-
I was wondering that too. This could make narrow locking in a long boat really awkward unless they are flexibles which can be walked on.

What is the active content of "Milton"? I'd have thought even the tiniest amount added to a boat water tank would exceed many times the concentration in the household water supply.

Generally very well. Far better than with copper cylinders which have a weird and annoying habit of pin-holing.
-
I seem to remember the risk of it happening being mentioned on the tin when I last used some, 50 years ago.

I would have thought contacting the police would have been a better idea., rather than some bloke called Damon who may not even be the owner.
