Perhaps they hoped the programme might help them sell the skip boat for a better price. If so it doesn't seem to have worked too well.

The program ended with them saying it was sorted in budget or words to that effect

Interesting standard of finish, I'm thinking of buying a blunt axe and calling myself a boat fitter.

Its certainly news to me that project boats don't need a safety certificate. 

It doesn't say you don't need one, it says it hasn't got one, I wonder if it has a CRT licence

Sounds like they ran out of money and enthusiasm, no surprise.

I'm pretty sure you need a BSS on a boat with an enclosed cabin though, even if the entire checklist is marked "Not Present"

 

And the correct labels on the water and diesel filler, obviously!

 

Less sarcastically, an enclosed cabin will need fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, CO alarms.  If there's a battery to run eg lights and water pump that will need to comply.

Add the storage of petrol for the genny

The genny itself is a source of petrol, does it need a specual storage area .

As they paid £14000 for it in the first place they have lost a fair amount of money on this.

Shall we call it 4k. Ok, I will be nice and round it up to 5k! 

 

I agree. I'd be just about willing to take it off their hands and deal with it if I was paid the £5k you suggest.

I am just watching two girls who are doing an old Springer on TV on floating homes. More 4 They were going to do it for £10k in 6 months

And what a state it looked, the stove seemed to be almost against the side paneling with no heat protection, wiring looked very suspect.
