Roper Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 Currently watching and enjoying Canal Boat Diaries on Yesterday channel. Been a while since my last hire so not sure if it's just me but the presenters engine seems to need high revs and be noisy compared to my (rose tinted 20:20) recollections of my last time on the canals.

Personally I love the sound of Robbie's engine but it would probably irk after a while. I did ask on here once what it was and from memory it's a Lister but I cant recall which one.

Mike Hurley Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 If you like the slow beat have a look at Country House Gent on youtube, Petter Mclaren 2 cyl from the 50s, sounds awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
