A boat with unusual features

I'm not even sure I would admire it Athy

Then it probbly a sure bet it's not the boat for you, it would be awful after all this time if you bought a boat and grew to resent it because it wasn't a good fit for you. 

 

For the life of me I now can't find And piccies to show you what I mean but it's not unusual for the bed to only be stored under the tug section and pulled out into the saloon section for when you need use it. I quite like tug style boats and I really like the idea of being able to push the bed back out of the way during the day and to pull it out at night. 

 

P.S. I thought you were in Ayrshire not Perthshire :unsure: and is the k in Pitlochry so those south of the border know how to pronounce it?

Speak up you lot, I can't hear what you're saying above the roar of AdeE's engines.

Yes, I only stabbed a map pin in "Scotland", and it ended up in Pitlochry, which led to some banter on t'other side ....... became Pitlockry, I still live by the Firth of Clyde

The 2nd boat you link to has the smallest bathroom I have seen on a boat, I wouldn't like to be in a rush for the loo as it would probably take 5 minutes to Yoga yourself into the gap for a poo.

I think you will find the loo has a swivel, I hope. I did think it was a pretty neat fit! Also, I think it is ceramic, I am not keen on plastic toilet bowls. I'd be on my own, so I could reverse in! Even the shower is only half sized!

There is 240v oven, which means I might have to swap to SF stove for something with a oven, yet these seem not to be very popular.https://www.stovefitterswarehouse.co.uk/products/the-hobbit-4kw-defra-without-log-store?variant=12932005068883&gclid=Cj0KCQjwg73kBRDVARIsAF-kEH_QGsPehqr3XkQN66ez4MHLk2ZVS_PzKpqMBFg0Q2fJnOAOPJWk4I0aAgfREALw_wcB

I wonder if anyone could comment on the Beta Marine [red] engine compared  to the greenline Beta engines?

I hope this time the market is in your favour - fingers crossed. ?

It's an absolute nightmare.

It's been a long drawn out process and so frustrating for you but it has got to change eventually, not that that ever helps much in the here and now. ?

Because it pretending to be something it isn't.

There isn't a cratch cover - there is a 'plank' and that's about it

 

Its not a 'tug' and its not a 'trad' - its a 'turd'

Overlooking that pointless and ugly bit of wood at the front, I quite like it. I don’t think I’d want to own it but it’s not a bad boat at all imho.

That sums up my thoughts on it on a good day,  sometimes................... it's marmite, but I could not live with the bed, that is the tipping point.

I really like this one, it's not overly tug like in its appearance and would give you that place to sit out and dine in the summer
