Brilliant, all this information is so useful thanks so much 👍 Thank you for the name and shame won’t be going there many thanks 🙏

That’s a very clever idea 💡👍🏻

Thank you so much never realised that was on my profile, changed now must have been when I signed up 👍🏻

Thank you will ring them today many thanks

I’m a very optimistic person😂let’s hope my rough time line on each stage is correct if not it is was it is🙃. I’ll keep all posted as I’ll be on here a lot for advice...any help along this journey will be most appreciated 🙂

Correct I have no engine to exchange 🙃 thank Alan for link to Calcutt and buyer beware warning on nicely sprayed engines 👍

Well spotted on the dollies.. very observant of you.. thanks for the info you have all been very friendly. The boat has been on a TRUCK yard under “cover” for the last few years now and the person who owed it before has left it there and moved abroad (apparently he was 6ft tall, hence the raising of the roof)Our plan is to survey her and finish off the welding and any problems that the survey brings up(or not hopefully!!) as the hull looks sound(and have been told it’s sound). From there on in it will be a labour of love for three months or so derusting vactaning red oxide painting bitumening celotexing lining framing plumbing and any other ing you can think of. Once again thank you all for you help any other advice or help wouldn’t go amiss. I’ve got a funny feeling I’ll be a regular to canalworld.net many thanks people and to canalworld.net 🙂

Thanks so much for everyone’s help. I’m now sure it’s a calcutt as now looked at photos of the calcutt sterns and look very similar to this boat with the steel boxes either side. 😀

Perfect thanks so much..are BMC engines reliable. Looking on Apolloduck for engines.

Thank you so much.. Is it possible to place a BMC 1.5 it to this engine bay with out any major complications🙂

Sorry no distance photos as been covered on all sides in the “shed” many thanks

Thank you all so much for you help. The boat has been under that “shed” for a few years now. I think the previous owner cut the top off from the gunnel and has extended it upwards for more head space on my understanding. I was only there for 5min as the yard where is being kept was closing for the night.. so didn’t take a lot of photos.. I’ve been told that the hull is sound !!

Hi all I was wondering if someone could please tell me the make of this narrowboat and what engine was originally installed if that’s possible many thanks
