Thought this was another Newbie asking about another Boat survey on an old boat they’re thinking about buying to live on.

  Maybe you should change the title to something like:

”IWA launch another Survey - can’t do any harm”

Thought it was quite a negative survey.

Depends how you complete it

I thought you were buying a boat and didn't like the first survey so you are getting another one done 

Or

The first survey didn't match to CRt figures so we keep surveying until we get one that does

Will be interesting to see how many people do this survey, will IWA members to do it and everyone else just not be bothered, will anyone take any notice of it? as CaRT seem to have the next 5 year licence increase and plans in place from their survey.

 Maybe people are fed up with Waterway/Canal surveys.

At least it's not asking daft questions like "How much do you enjoy boating, 1 - 5, where 5 is Deliriously and 1is Very Much.

Did anyone do much boating last year without running into problems? I'm giving myself six weeks for a two week trip this year.

Are only issue last year was the lock closure on the T&M, we had been up on the Montgomery and were deciding which way to head back to Great Haywood when we got the stoppage notice so that made the decision for us.  Didn't impact our cruising or change how many days we were out boating, in fact we stayed out longer as I worked from the boat instead of going back to the office because we met up with some friends unexpectedly in Penkridge.

I've completed it, but it swerved the most important question, which is "how much more are you prepared to pay to rectify the maintenance issues?"

I'd be inclined to put £400m as my answer to that.

Blimey, fixing boilers must be even more lucrative than I thought...

Come oop Norf and see how you get on and it's not just Rochdale Summit wolves to worry about.

Glad to see there are still some optimists around. 😄

I thought it was a reasonable survey.  A couple of questions where the answers were a bit black and white, but overall okay.
