Black Ibis Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 "I'm now looking for the best offer I can get for this boat since she needs salvage and restoration, after being neglected by a prospective buyer during the summer. She's taken on some water but is still afloat (just!). Prior to the 'sale' she was afloat and moving around the system. " Oh dear... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlt Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) I did wonder if Carlt had a new boat. If I had the money to buy Ian then I'd have the money to buy a much better boat and still have a few £k change. Edited to add: If I had the money to buy Ian I'd have the money to buy Hazel and still have a few £k to spend on Oak planks... Hazel's back... http://www.apolloduck.com/advert.phtml?id=305327 Walk away Carl!... RUN AWAY!! Edited September 10, 2013 by carlt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stagedamager Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Sadly a predictable outcome. Wish I could have put some money on it. I would love Hazel but not sure I could spare the time and doubt they would accept my very low offer! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtB Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 From the advert: "I'm now lookinf for the best offer I can get for this boat since she needs salvage and restoration, after being neglected by a prospective buyer during the summer. She's taken on some water but is still afloat (just!). Prior to the 'sale' she was afloat and moving around the system.Previously a liveaboard she's been mostly stripped out inside." Sounds to me as though this boat has approximately zero value now. Reading between the lines it sounds to me as though the prospective buyer started work over the summer and after stripping out the interior, didn't like what they saw and baled out (so to speak), failing to complete the purchase. Seller appears to have a time machine camera too... photo taken on 24th September 2013! What became of the other HAZEL, by the way? MtB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtB Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Excellent! But but but, didn't this HAZEL used to be a motorised butty? I'm convinced I saw her hacking along south past Enslow Wharf one evening a couple of years ago with no visible motorboat or horse! MtB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stagedamager Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 The one on the duck is motorised. She's the 1957 Barlows Hazel. The one in Alans video is the (1914?) Runcorn wooden header. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanM Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) Wasn't the person who had the Barlows Hazel on here a few months back trying to take it up north but it wouldn't fit through Napton so was having to take it the long way around?

Runcorn wooden header. Dan The wooden header HAZEL was motorised in about 1950, and prior to its recent restoration has had a total of 4 different engines. The 'Barlows' HAZEL was motorised in 1965 and has had two different engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlt Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Well I made some enquiries and discovered that Hazel is "provisionally" sold but I have expressed an interest, should the sale fall through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
