It is a great deal of fairly new boat for not a great deal of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Canaline 52hp engine is as "proper" as any engine installed in a River Class butty ........ indeed any butty if it comes to that. I recall John Edwards moving off Marcellus to live on Cam.

On paper yes maybe, but bare in mind that they probably really want 70k, maybe even decided they'd take 65k, but 'lets pop it on for 75k and see how much interest we get' first.

J R ALSOP Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 I only paid £400:00 for Chiswick in 1965, certainly not going that high to buy it back. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly gave the concrete towpath edge on the Regent's canal a hefty clout when filming "Zoo Robbery". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
