    Thankyou for the info!
  2. Noviceboata
    Thanks! How long does overplating usually last before needing to be redone? Or is that like asking how long is a piece of string?)
  3. Noviceboata
    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
  5. Noviceboata
    I dont thimk there will be anybody come along and disagree with your statement )
  6. Noviceboata
    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?
  8. Noviceboata
    Thanks for that, very good point about the discount for bulk buying
  9. Noviceboata
    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
  12. Noviceboata
    Ok. So is there a rule how much more a steel cabin should cost compared to a GRP cabin? 10%, 20% more?
  13. Noviceboata
    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?
  16. Noviceboata
    Being a landlord of several properties and having pretty much every tool you can think of Im not too worried about this. And yes, I am the same as you, would fix everything apart from gas. I couldn't even imagine somebody living on a boat who was not some sort of handyman, the costs would definitely outweigh the benefits. Anyway, thanks for the info.

    Yea i heard about the protection racket on the canals )
  18. Noviceboata
    I fully agree with you and thats what I plan on doing
  19. Noviceboata
    Dont need a mooring. Will CC and stop for 2 weeks like I have thevright to do
  20. Noviceboata
    Thankyou! this is awesome)
  21. Noviceboata
    Thanks fot that. I guess I plan to travel to travel after winter during spring. It seems the distance is around 160 miles. How long would it take to travel this distance? How many miles would one expect to travel in one day? (guess it depends on the top speed of the narrowbvoat)
  22. Noviceboata
    I guesx that is questionable if you live in London where the minimum cost for an apartment is 1200 a month

    Hi all, Buying a narrowboat in Stourport-on-Severn and thinking the best way to get it to London. Would it be possible to drive it all the way from Stourport to London on the Canal system? how long would it take? Or would it be easier and cheaper to just transport it by truck? I have a lot of time on my hands so I think the trip down to London (If possible) would be a wonderful expierience
  24. Noviceboata
    I guess so, even if i made the minimum salary in London it would only be about 7% per hour of my salary
  25. Noviceboata
    Thanks for that, I will look into it. I love those reflex stoves, will definately get one when i make the final upgrade
