A Canaline 52hp engine is as "proper" as any engine installed in a River Class butty ........ indeed any butty if it comes to that.

 

Very good.

I think you know what I meant.

Advert posted yesterday, so I’d say it is now back on the market - pity the photos don’t do it justice (Haven’t worked out how to copy a link on this iPad thing, but it’s on the duck)

Looks a lot of money ??

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.

Is Chiswick the boat that broke the stem post, due to an impact with a wall on the Thames?

I'm not sure what this wacky image brings to the sale of the boat, with uncle fester steering and granny getting stoned out front!

It certainly gave the concrete towpath edge on the Regent's canal a hefty clout when filming "Zoo Robbery".

As far as I know it was turning into limehouse but moving a bit quick due to the tide and made contact with the wall, instead of entering the cut. Broke the stem post on impact, others may know more about it.

Probably explains why when the back end use to get low in the water it use to leak. Also explains the big dent that was (might still be) on the counter

There is a large chunk out of the concrete edge in Limehouse basin on the right after exiting the lock into the basin but I think that was caused by that narrow boat pair which went to the Black sea with the Gardner 2LW in the 90s. Unspoilt by progress or something. Presumably during some sort of manooveer as it looks like a head on strike. 

 

Below the lock coming in from the tidal Thames a lot of boats collide with the wall by the pub but seems unlikely you would hit it at an angle that would damage the stem.

 

Unless you got it badly wrong.
