Mike Tee Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 Lovely boat, if it had a historic water-cooled engine (National / RN) to supply hot water instead of the Rinnai it would be my perfect boat. Could dump the toilet and put in a cassette anytime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could dump the toilet and put in a cassette anytime! Yes a mighty fine boat, but as with any boat one just takes it as it is, complete with whatever shortcomings it has from one's own point of view. For me this boat would have to be a day boat, not having a gas oven! I can barely boil an egg without using the oven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arf Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Did we have this one yet? I think you'd have to be brave, given how long this has been since it's been out of the water.. 1932 Yarwoods short boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrowcycles Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 If it is really 15ft wide it has spread quite a bit. I've heard it might need a tiny bit of Hull work too. Would love a short boat though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek R. Posted November 1, 2021 Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 ENCELADUS is a very nice boat, from what can be seen. Front cabin could do with a bit of 'running-in', but I'd be up for it if it wasn't for resources and the fact that the cut has changed beyond what I remember of it.

johnthebridge Posted November 1, 2021 Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 Does look pretty good, but I don't care for the photo in the Norton Canes ad, taken from the front of the engine hole, looking back. Look at the knee there. It looks blown to me, with rust pushing it off the side and it looks as though it's been cut off halfway up and not replaced after re-footing. For that money, it should be damn near perfect and it makes me wonder what the rest of the knees are like, all hidden away behind the linings. Mind you, with all the he-man weights lying around it, I wouldn't argue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post roland elsdon Posted November 2, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Or you could accept that a replica would be 150000 to build and not have the history . 67000 or whatever plus live with the pushed knee. When we bought our current boat I asked Brinklow boats about the cost of a similar replica. Over 150000. Even after a replated baseplate we are 90000 up. And its not a clone. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnthebridge Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Seems to me that if a visibly very exposed knee doesn't get treated to some remedial work, then, as I said before, I'd not care to think what the ones covered up are like. Why a knee that's in full view wasn't de-riveted, cleaned off, the rot cut out and metal renewed is the question I might ask And I've owned: Canis. Barrow. Vulcan. Lynx. (GUCCC) Bilster. Sutton. Bath. Bakewell. Marcellus. Amsterdam. So, I do speak from bitter and costly experience with the old girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having had 5 old boats and the current one with no doubt just such issues, ( don’t look too close) they all were ( are) far from perfect. My point was simply that perfection comes at a vastly higher price than 67000! and so we reach compromises. 67000 will almost buy some quite unpleasant modern things with a multitude of issues, waiting to be uncovered 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no expert but I do have a keen interest in the pleasure boats of the mid 60s to mid 80s and this looks like a boat built by the West Riding boat company..

They have very distinctive stem posts Yes I was thinking the stem post was a strange design, but one I've seen before. The comment about it being a shallow V hull made me wonder if it was some sort of Springer but the stem post rather ruled that out.... But it looks a very fine example of a leisure boat from that era! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
