If you want to abide by all the rules as you say then the simple answer is to get in touch with the licensing authority where you wish to keep the boat such as CART and tell them what you intend doing and they will give you chapter and verse of what you can and cannot do. I found them very helpful over the years.

I nearly bought one as my first boat, quite pretty with a fibreglass lid. I ended up buying a Swan line instead, another pretty boat but had the glass fibre top replaced with marine ply.

So after saying we would not have another dog at our age......the house has been empty without a dog and this poor eight year old sweetie needed rescuing. So after donating lots of beer money to rescue centre here she is, we must be daft lol

One tip I can offer is dont go on a weekend when most people are dictated to going by bosses at work places. The cost of most short breaks are identical and usualy are friday till monday morning or monday till friday morning thus an extra night for not going weekends. It will be better for restaurants too, hence we went out last night and going out tonight for a meal rather than friday or saturday with the great unwashed!!

They are or where any way useless and terrible build quality. Years ago I ran a pub directly opposite the Dyson factory in Malmesbury. I got lots of their staff in including the then managing director. The biggest department there was so called customer service. They gave up questioning people re their faults and just sent everyone a full set of tools out as the quality was crap and they failed. Anyways the director sent me over a brand new upright and the little cylinder jobby FOC. We used them for a couple of days then stuffed them in a cupboard and went back to the Nilfisk and Henry, both vastly superior. The two Dysons were left in the cupboard when we moved on from that pub.
