Painting right down to the chine in topcoat is unusual

It's innovative. Put a steel roof. On the top to keep the cargo dry and some windows on the side so it can see out. I recon it'll catch on and lots of old barges will end up with a nice steel cargo cover and windows.

An old liverpool working hull/barge conversion...... apparently!!!

I think it's the one in a field by the Leicester line of the GU, maybe nearish to Crick?

Jeez Mike, have you been drinking?

Your generosity knows no bounds.

It's a Springer, with an addition of a sloping aft cabin line.

 

I steered one belonging to friends once along the Thames. Remarkably handy little boat.

No, thats still there in its rusty primed glory just out of the winding hole.

Not a full boat, but it is amazing what turns up on E-Bay.

Well at the missing bits, and it would be nearly as much "Ling" as "Raymond" is actually "Raymond"!

.... and owned by another former owner of Badsey and Barnes!

 

No prizes for a lot of detail though - doesn't even say what engine - I seem to recall maybe an Armstrong, but may be imagining that?

 

Also some nagging feeling is telling me it maybe has a wooden cabin, rtaher than steel, though I may be wrong.

[bargemast]

As you say Alan, they don't give much information at all, I would think that most people looking for that kind of boat would like to know what sort of engine the boat has, and at least some photos of it's interior.

 

But there may be still some people around with loads of money burning holes in their pockets, who don't need to know more, and just pay.

Nice paint dock at Castle Fields.

[starman]

Is 'needs a new custodian' another of those euphemisms like 'suit enthusiast' or 'opportunity for a new owner to make his mark'?

[Athy]

Looks remarkably Sringer'esque to me.

Indeed that's a Springer, and not even an early one - that hull shape was introduced in 1983. It seems to have had a new top - perhaps the original superstructure was wood or GRP. The mooring studs/ dolly studs/ whatever are not standard Springer issue and perhaps they did indeed come off an old working boat.

Does anyone recognise this one? A name would be a start - the advert is rather sparse.

(eta - that info came from Pete Harrison earlier on - plus when you know, its possible to read the name!!)

Edited March 31, 2015 by Mike Tee

[MtB]

Yes. Pete Harrison said so a day or two earlier in the thread, IIRC.

 

It's written on the side, too!

[billS]

Thanks chaps

Surely of limited use - you could use it only for cruising rings.

The health registration number is, though, I was geeky enough to look that up.

[pete harrison]

The health registration number is, though, I was geeky enough to look that up.

But I had already stated the identity of this boat in post 1760 of this thread when I also posted the initial link to the Apollo Duck advert. It looks more and more like I am wasting my time, or not believed

 

[billS]

I just read mark99s post. I didn't read backwards through the thread. Sorry no offence intended.
