You'll normally find the Beta engine's calorifier take off and return bypass the original thermostat... they certinally do on the 1305 &1505 and the 50hp. Steve

How big is you skin tank and or Calorifer loops? Do you have any form of restriction into the hot water tank or can the water free flow through it? If not you may want to put a ball valve on the inlet side of the engine to calorifer to sreduce the amount of heat thats being dumped into it. hope this helps or gives you something to have a think on.

Hey All, A friend of mine works over at Wrenbury Mill on the Llangollen and has told me their doing a 75% off scheme on their lift outs for blacking etc. Their 57ft boat worked out at £62.50 for the lift and £399 for the blacking, £461.50 in total....seems pretty good to me! Steve

Many Thanks David and Julie!!!! That's more like it. Think i didn't make myself clear enough...... I am after somewhere that sells abandoned projects or older boats that need gutting and starting gain internally like boatwrecks.com theboatsheduk etc. Might have a goosey at the 70footer......

I'll take that as a no then?

same here!

*Copied from another post* I've been to a quite a few brokerages in the last few months looking for a 'project' boat ie needs a internal refit and a darm good lick of paint, but what i've found is scrappers for upwards of £25000 that you can see the rain running down the inside of the walls as fast as it is outside and woodwork that is softer than my granny's victoria sponge! Is there such a place that sells older hulls in a sailaway form? ( as i dont have £19k plus for a new one) Sven

I'll second that!

Ellesmere Marina was 94ppl on 60/40 today.

As an Engineer this makes interesting reading.......... has anyone here taken an engine that has been thrashed from cold or left ticking over to 'warm up' apart and seen what it does to the movey up and downy roundy roundy bits? (pistons with the load face scratched to hell, goosed rings, big ends and mains with little or no white metal etc etc and not forgetting exhaust valves and stems choked in carbon. Best advice is to go from cold keep to mid revs and don't labour the engine (i.e make it work unnessicarly (*sp) hard). Have fun......... Untill you need a rebuild. Sven

Very Puuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrty!

Dont know if its an help or if you've fixed it but have a look here PRM 150 PDF Sven

Don't know if anyone else is brewing at the minute but i've got Gooseberry wine and Cider demijohn'd up bubbling away nicely! Sven

Just been looking around the web for more info on the above topic as one day I'd like to do this stretch. Managed to find this Clicky which must be about the last time it was done although I remember another boat doing it ( the 'Jubilee' possibly) and getting stuck on the weir? Anyone shed any light?

Having a bit of a nosey around the planning departments website today to see if I could shed some light on the above building works. All i could find was this........ Summary Description: POST DN CORRESPONDENCE Address: TILSTONS YARD, NEW CRANE STREET, CHESTER CH1 Application No: 03/562/FUL Online Ref: 0 Date Opened: 20 May 2009 Status: unknown Seems whatever they have started building they haven't submitted any plans for yet.....

After all the work thats been done down in the old port and Earl's port seems a shame that there are no boats down here I dont even think you'd get a boat in here now.... or if you did you would be roping it out. Finally the link to the river.......... need i say more...... Not sure what BW are building here but hasnt changed in a few months. Well thats the end of my little trip, if anyone can throw any light on any of it I'd be gratefull.

The Dry dock at the basin (is it still used?) I guess not then! The workshops, still seems to have things going on. Interesting Plaque Nice little bridge into another basin with building works that seem to have been going on for years!!!! More Pictures To Follow ( When it will let me )

Hi Hamsterfan, do you have any pics of the build? also did you use a building board? Cheers Sven
