My eyes! My eyes!

It predates the more extreme Stowe Hill boats by quite a few years.

That boat is some ones pride and joy. It will soon be a new persons pride and joy. I shouldn't mock.

I think it looks quite ugly and just looks wrong on this boat, maybe a longer well deck would of made it look better. Just looks wrong, could be the cratch?????

I saw a Burscough Boat Trading boat with an interesting bow on the Middlewich Branch

I can't find any reference to a josher bow anywhere in the sales description.

But I don't think I'd feel confident entering the cabin with its "Piranha pine" fit-out.

Looking at that pic it feels like you are falling into the boat.

You can all stop fighting for it - it does say "Sale Agreed", so clearly someone likes the bow.

"Yeah mate, I agree you should put it up for sale ... particularly with that bow shape ..."

At the risk of sounding pedantic the wood is actually parana pine ........ as distinct from those wee nibbling fish!

Hey that's really funny, I was going to type that out as it's an obvious response!    Better go and self isolate.

And the diagonal planking does rather add to the "Jaws" teeth impression.

[WotEver]

When it got the bow caught in those lock gates did it do any damage to them?

A pair of "proper Joshers."

 

Blaggers at the elum.
