Fair point it turns out the station is only about 2/3 mile - just seemed further in my head having walked it before !

 

thanks for the correction

Owned by Shanly since 2013.

 

The bridge is a problem. Something tells me its not insurmountable.

smile.png Thank you - didn't help that I was searching for a wooden motor called Walton! lol

I suspect that Ade will part with Walton only when the tiller bar is prised out of his cold dead fingers.

 

I may be wrong though and if he ever did decide to sell my house will immediately go on the market so I can buy it.

No its not - it is called Baildon!

 

EDITED TO ADD:

 

I was going to say surely the price is a lot higher than it last sold for, but as it says it has been re-bottomed in 2016, it seems likely the current owner has had to spend a great deal of money on it, (possibly?).

I looked at her when she was at Church Minshull Aquaduct Marina, she was around £36-37k then but wasn't for me..

Last advertised via Apollo Duck website / Aquaduct Brokerage in February 2016 @ £39950, and was sold in late June or early July 2016.

 

When last advertised it was stated that BAILDON had been re-bottomed and re-footed in 1998 using 10mm steel plate. I would have thought a 10mm bottom should have lasted considerable more than 18 years captain.gif

Yes, I would hope so too, as ours is at least 10 years older!

 

A bit uncertain what this is supposed to mean then.....

 

Completing the general history Baildon was re-bottomed and blacked in 2016

I see TAY listed on ABNB.

 

A brief search of this thread suggests it hasn't been mentioned before, or the search button isn't working again!

You didn't specifically ask that in your question...... I am not a mind reader.

Anyway.

 

I was a bit surprised to see that this rather nice old boat had a 2 cylinder Bukh in it :unsure:

 

I know that Bukh are very nice units that is not in doubt but it must be rather unusual for this type of boat.
