crosser

never thought selling my little boat would be so stressful... so many idiots and timewasters... its going on brokerage as dont need the stress.... rant over....

thanks thats good to know... i dont mind paying a fee as its the closest place to where the boat is at the moment... thanks again

hopefully tuckeys will use there lorry with crane to take out of kecksys farm.. just need to ring kecksys farm to see if there ok with that...

i have, waiting for a response.. just looking at the options just incase

thanks for that... do you know how long that will take by water as the boat has no bsc or license which is making things difficult? just wondering if tuckeys would be able to remove the boat at hallingbury...

hi all... thinking of buying a boat thats moored in hallingbury marina but need it craning out and transported by road to gayton where i am based.. anyone know the nearest place where it can be craned onto a lorry? thanks

ok thanks for that, i would of tried cleaning it up straight away....

thanks all... just ordered some butyl tubes so i can use it for all the windows... thanks again for your help...

hi all... my brass portholes are leaking so ive removed them and cleaned them up and wondering what is the best thing to seal them with to the boat? nothing to permanent as i want to remove them again later in the year to repaint the boat... any ideas whats best to use? weedhatch seal maybe? cheers

i had same problem with my nanni engine , i just brought a kubota engine from a lawnmower and swapped the marine bits on to it.. cost me £250 for engine and £100 for gaskets etc...

i wonder what the asking price is... looks an interesting project

thanks everyone... i have already painted it red oxide as i had lots of it but i think i will go with the grey bilge paint as advised.... will be so glad when its done as its not the biggest place to squeeze into....

ah right so paint on top is best.. does it have to be bilge paint or can i use the marine gloss i already have? thanks

while i have no engine in my boat im repainting the engine bay .. im painting it all red oxide, is that ok or is it best to paint on top with something else? i just thought red oxide is easier to touch up when needed... cheers

i have 2 hurth 50 gearboxes sat in my shed with both failed clutches, parts are really expensive so there good door stops for now.. i did put another hurth 50 box in my boat as it doesnt do many hours and i managed to find a nos box for not alot of money otherwise i wa going to get a prm80 box as bolts straight on to bellhousing as same stud pattern.. good luck

i think the waterbugs were the ones with no well deck... mines a 23ft with well deck and was told its not a waterbug... mine has a 3 pot kubota engine... i would look for a honda outboard as there pretty reliable ..

hi, ive removed the woodburner as it was unsafe and takes alot of space in my little 23ft boat... yes its the marine version with the correct skin fittings etc... im hoping someone here might have fitted one of the new digital thermostats, if not i will have to buy a new propex one but they dont have a timer on and there £50 compared to £12..

hi all... been given a propex 1600 heater for my little springer but it has no thermostat with it... does anyone know if a digital diesel heater one can be wired in to work as there only £12 on ebay.. cheers

im moored there with my 23ft and only pay for 23ft.. there pretty helpful and do have a few moorings that only fit dinky boats..

gayton marina is good and only charge by the foot...

i use a paraffin heater to warm my little boat... good ventilation is needed but works great and no worrying about bss....

my engine suffers with very bad breathing, smokes like crazy from the breather and spits oil to... thanks for the link for the engines,ive spoken to them and its £800 plus vat and no warranty... ive found a supplier of pistons for the engine but not liners so would need rebore... i think the st engine is just going to be to underpowered so i think im just going to have a think about what to do... used engine is sounding like best bet at the moment as theres still the £300 for removing and fitting...

the stuart turner is a diesel and sounds nicer than this kubota.. a just dont have a fortune to spend on the little boat and so far the kubota is going to cost a fortune ... i have a great boatyard local to me that can do any work... i do like the idea of the st engine but dont really know anything about them... i imagine parts are non existent...

the little stuart turner 9hp engine my friends selling is sounding more tempting...

hmm... need a mate in taiwan to send me a gift...
