'Bargain' boat for those on a very limited budget

[OldGoat]

Just seen this boat on U-tube, shirley would suit one of those on a very limited budget and who is prepared to ignore advice from those who have seen it and done it.

 

    

Hull said to be OK - no wet bilge - even in the engine bay.

The challenge is that it's a wooden top.

 

Suit a London moorer.....

Unfortunate that the presenter wore a short with a business name, the only part of which was visible: "scrap"

The mystery is, how does a knackered Harborough Marine come to be on the very select and sought-after private moorings at Thrupp? It would be worth buying the boat to get the mooring, if it works like that.

Noticed that, shirt collar. So he has paid damn all for it, now wants to profit, fair enough. What are scrap steel prices atm?

Not exactly: he says it's being sold on behalf of the executor of a will. So I shouldn't think that it's his property.

It's a club mooring. Plenty of dog poo by walkers and not transferable anyway.

Seems quite an interesting "mothballed" boat. Disposing of the corpse might be a bit complicated but Margaret Harborough, good steelwork Lister ST2 and one of those nice old enamelled basins looks pretty interesting. 

 

£50.

OK, £880, use of the comfy chair at weekends, a gobstopper and a Black Jack.  Who is the payee?

[magnetman]

Don't know but it's got to be worth a few bags.
