Isn't the motor conversation recent as im sure last time was for sale it didn't have an engine.

The current advert states that the engine was fitted this summer. CAM was still for sale at the end of 2014 as a butty with a Yamaha outboard engine for £49000, and in April 2013 was up for £59500.

No, I've sometimes talked to my Gardner while I'm cleaning it for years. I'm pleased to know that someone else is now doing the same. I was beginning to think I was slightly unusual.

A conversation with a Gardner is probably going to be quite interesting compared with most motors - with seasonal variations I imagine :)

Try a conversation with a Kelvin- you'd best be able to speak broad Glaswegian.

You can recognise the rhythm of one coming down the cut: "Heh yew Jimmy, heh yew Jimmy..." - that's the K3 of course.

I was under the impression that Kelvins only understand swear words.

 

Also, has Ling been sold? Link seems to be dead now. Thank God if it has, was getting very tempting.

I really don't understand why "Sudbury" hasn't sold, unless there is some major "gotcha" that isn't immediately evident.

 

It is a lovely little thing, and if I didn't already own an identical length tug based on a "Grand Union" I would be very sorely tempted.

 

The price seems very realistic to me.

I know forum member Madcat took a look, and I think the oly thing that put her off was that she wanted a somewhat longer one, (which she now has, of course).

Give the broker a ring, she is a forum member and i would trust her to tell you everything you wanted to know.

 

Like Alan, i can't understand why it hasn't sold at that price and if i was looking and had the money I'd have had it like a shot.

some work is needed to the hull

 

 

Presumably why the advert otherwise glosses over this and concentrates almost entirely on internal fit out?

 

It also has to a competitor for one of the least useful outside photos ever put in this kind of advert!

Equus has been for sale since the dawn of time.

 

I had a look over her about a year ago and offered £15k. They said that's what everyone offers, so thanks but no thanks!

 

Lovely bote but interior is desperately tired. Engine is in the wrong place but a further £15-20k spent adding a decent shaped stern and back cabin would make Equus as AWESOME boat for somebody...

I remember her being advertised at Iver in the 80s.

She came complete with her own stocked wine cellar and silk monogrammed gowns.
