Thankyou for your post, hopefully he has a early sale, and everything gos his way for 2020. col

I agree, but who ever is selling the boat must be lonely, because surely a friend or himself would ask for help. maybe the seller can’t see the rubbish , if whoever lives on this boat, then for definite he or she needs some help.

Just see this up for auction would this be a good buy,I appreciate the photos do not show the full potential. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/70-ft-Narrowboat-opend-by-kenn-Dodd-project-liveaboard/333450719645?hash=item4da336319d:g:kk0AAOSw-zxeAQ08 col

Thinking, Are there residential moorings on the Broads?, the broads are lovely, there are we’re some berths you could buy, free hold. but my wife loved it their, so be nice to know if their moorings there col

It seems that now the Beta engine is installed and running. the prop L/R hand, is opposite to the 260 gear box. beta have confirm that the forward and reverse can be switched round just by changing the linkage on the control lever. the above seems strange to me, cheaper that changing the prop, or gear box lol any tech information would be gratefully received. thankyou in advance col

I’ve always been the last one to know anything. canal boating is not about getting their fast, not thinking of others. but enjoy the slow stroll through life, playing with things I know nothing about, and smiling knowing I have friends who together in the forum, who makes it all better. i haven’t attacked the bow thruster yet! i know I started the charging cable once, but reading posts since, and now I haven’t a clue again life is grand, I do wonder why the hospitals sent me for a head MRI, because they won’t find sod all!!!

Yes it is lol
