Thankyou for the info!

Thanks! How long does overplating usually last before needing to be redone? Or is that like asking how long is a piece of string?)

Thanks for that. What would be the minimum thickness of the wood? Just enough to cover the insulation that is sticking out?

Hi guys, Has anybody attached the plywood, mdf or any material directly to the steel steel structure on the interior of a narrowboat after installing insulation such as polyurethane? (No stud wall) Just trying to save a bit of space for the interior. I guess that is how it is done for the ceiling

I dont thimk there will be anybody come along and disagree with your statement )

Yes, the survey said no problems with the overplating ) my question is, is 5mm enough?

Hi Guys, Having a look at this extract from a survey, doest it seem as if the hull is in decent condition with regards to thickness for a narrowboat built in the 70's?

Thanks for that, very good point about the discount for bulk buying

Thanks for that. Is there a standard thickness for the hardboard, MDF, or ply that is used?

Hi All. Just wondering from this photo which materials are used for the white walls/ceiling for the interior of this narrowboat? it is Marine plywood attached to a stud wall which is painted white?

"The roll of gaffer tape I always carry in my tool kit came in very useful )" Thanks for that, so it seems like the general consensus here is that GRP leaks more than metal

Ok. So is there a rule how much more a steel cabin should cost compared to a GRP cabin? 10%, 20% more?

If it's difficult why not the GRP top?

Ive definitely seen them in action around the hackney area) How do I join? No seriously, don't plan on being one of the back-and-forth guys between moorings in central London. So many nice places just outside of London with an easy commute to work if need be

Hi Guys, Just wondering what is better regarding the material for the cabin of the narrowboat? Is a metal cabin more preferable or fiberglass? which boat should cost more?
