Athy 901 Report post #2 Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) Yes. A Gardner 4LW (and, judging by the photo, that's what it is), would be a 5.6 litre unit. A handsome boat, even if its internal décor lacks flair. Edited March 31, 2014 by Athy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loddon 887 Report post #3 Posted March 31, 2014 Transporter used to have a semi diesel possibly a Kromhout in it, when it fired up you could hear it half a mile away, wonderful sounding engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J R ALSOP 50 Report post #4 Posted March 31, 2014 The Kromhault in Transporteur ran away on a very large start, it snapped the block off the engine bed, you had to see the mess to believe it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magnetman 303 Report post #5 Posted May 6, 2014 I always liked transporteur but £100k is way too much money for it IMO. even if it has got a trouser press on board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike the Boilerman 6267 Report post #12 Posted June 29, 2014 Strikes me that you should look in the Netherlands first then decide. I looked briefly at the costs involved in bring one over from the Netherlands but found, IIRC, they accounted roughly for the difference in price. Especially once one takes into account several trips over there viewing, travel and accommodation costs, lost earning time etc as well as employing someone professional to actually bring the boat across the channel. At least Transporteur is actually here, although I must say the interior looks pretty soulless having had a better look at the advert now. MtB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
