Naughty Cal Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 No you will be shot down in flames, told repeatedly that you have the wrong boat and how unsuitable it is for every given circumstance. You get used to it eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightwatch Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) Looks like a nice boat. But then again don't they all look the same. Just a little tweek here and there.

That's a long way to walk for a pony if you're in urgent need - nearly three-quarters of a mile at a rough guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chas78 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 My newly bought Narrowboat built by A.Rice in 1969 i collect her in a weeks time me and the wife can't wait she will be restored to her former glory by me and the wife to as authentic as possible NO modern Ikea MFI etc etc going on this beautiful Lady! It's just a shame the original Perkins engine was replaced for a 2.5 Transit engine but i am told it's a Banana engine that is bomb proof so not to grumble i suppose the original name of "Ngombe Shenzi" was also changed to "Moon Dust" which i can't complain about and is very apt i think being built in 1969 when a certain two people walked on that big silver thing in the sky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athy Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Well, that's a mystery solved: I have seen a boat of just this shape (possibly even this actual boat) and wondered who built it, as it looked a bit, but not quite, like a Springer. I know nothing of "A,. Rice" - does anyone else? I know nothing of Banana engines either, though I have seen a few yellow ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
