W ell, it has a Gardner engine AND a Rayburn, so it can't be bad. 69' X 14'? Ideal liveaboard for cruising on the Grand Union. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking £15k would be more like it, to get it sold in a flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sale around £10k with a lovely Ailsa Craig RF1 up the front. Pretty little boat but oh my giddy aunt did it roll! I know that was the intention when designed but a steel top on a boat about 5ft8 wide is "interesting" I think you could hit some lock sides with that cabin.

David Mack Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) Certainly the gunwale level on Erebus is very close to the water, but I notice there is a fair threshold to the cabin doors which increases the downflooding height quite a lot. I imagine that walking along the gunwale generally results in wet feet. Edited February 23, 2022 by David Mack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnetman Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 I think i'd put a removable washboard in to raise that even more. The main problem is that cabin hitting things. If the boat rocked as you were entering a lock it could catch part of the gate if it went outside the profile of the gunnel. Careful footwork needed. One false move and bang and possibly a very rapid deceleration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroudwater1 Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) Two older pictures of her posted on here. It seems that the steel cabin may have caused Erebus to lie lower in the water http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n483/kevinbrowett/img016.jpg Edited February 24, 2022 by Stroudwater1 Photobucket link didnt replicate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
