zenataomm Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 Mayflower (in the 80s) had a water cooled Lister (CE2?) from a crane, yes it had a radiator. Martin Fuller I believe, I was also told the propeller was from a stirrer on a brewery vat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our "Sickle" rolls a bit, but I bet it is nothing compared to one of these! The original one is surprisingly stable. We took it from somewhere around Beeston down to Venetian Marina to get it craned out and it didn't move around much, although we did accidentally spin it at a lock due to the bywash! It didn't roll noticeably at all. The only problem we had was a bit of a leak in the counter so it took on water whilst underway, and the bilge pump packed up so a lot of time was spent baling with a small saucepan, hence I can't comment much on the bit down the Middlewich branch as I was otherwise occupied! Oates rolls a whole lot more. Alec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stroudwater1 Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 Looks nice. Picture below in between the two from Hudds Lad- September 2021 with grey undercoat when Pompey Chimes behind was moored up, Pompey Chimes passed us this July heading towards Fazeley or Fradley and as well as Pompey Chimes she has several other Portsmouth FC paint themes and sported a Portsmouth FC flag on her tiller. I was expecting a Pompey Chime chant taped music to come blasting out from her as well, very disappointed though maybe relieved at the same time. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found the video of this one, she has changed since May/June 2021 with a full repaint, there a fair change at the bow too. The owner does a nice internal walkthrough. The engine makes a longer appearance on the Severn and Avon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
