Thanks again for all your replies to this
From everything youve said, I understand now that I would be severely restricted on uk canals! to the point that I would need something different, but having the option of going to sea is very appealing, so maybe I have to do some more research and thinking what and where I will use the boat for????
The other immediate concern I have with this boat is it seems to have been drywalled and plastered both on the ceilings and the walls.. surely, you would not do this on any kind of boat, whether it be sea or inland going? no?
