Passes a boat on the L&L last week with what looked like a stainless steel hull (unpainted) but with painted cabin -- can't remember the name, did have something on it saying which engineering firm made it but can't remember that either...

Could be the narrow boat mentioned earlier called ' Ferrous ' i saw this at Selby lock maybe four weeks ago . I often have a look there when cycling home after work. Was a bit tired from nights but from what i remember there are large windows where a big vintage engine can be viewed in the centre of the boat and an engineers plate of manufacture on the stern from the 1970's i think and then a later date of refurbishment. It's on my list of boats to make an offer on when i win the lottery.

It's mad, but at the same time awesome. I like mad.

Regarding to stainless stelel on a narrow boat

Our boat ad a stainless steel over plate fitted before we got her ( I no we didn't get survey done )

We are now sat on hard standing as the stainless as reacted with mild steel and caused holes in the sides

We are in process off repairing now

One question is if the stainless was over plated with mild steel now and sides water tight would the stainless do this again

Does the reaction on happen when in contact with water

Mild steel Over plated in SS?

 

Jesus bloody wept, I wonder which dork thought that was a good idea.

 

Sounds like a load of hassle and effort to me. Does it owe you much money?

 

I over plated a 45' boat a few years ago, funnily enough it was done in mild steel...

Heres the story of building an aluminium narrowboat http://livingonanarrowboat.co.uk/blogs/on-cloud-wine/building-an-aluminium-narrowboat-part-2/

[Phil Ambrose]

Haven't bothered opening the link because aluminium narrow boats have been around for a while under the name Sea Otter so nothing new there.

Thought Sea Otter went into administration, so there will be no more

What is their situation? They closed down two or three years ago, then some orders came in so they re-opened (management buy-out, possibly?) Have they now shut up shop again?

I thought on similar lines, met a chap on the river last year with a new one.

Has anyone got a picture of one of these Deloreans of the cut actually on a canal and in use? After all the dazzling descriptions I'd like to see one in action.

ABNB had a new boat for sale last month or so built by Paul an ex director of sea otter I believe.
