Bromleyxphil Posted May 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Well an interesting evening I met the guy and his partner and now know he has a genuine reason to sell the boat. I did lots of measuring and need to work out how to fit in what I want and if it will work with the window placements. The guy didn't know what an RCD was let alone have one. Is this a deal breaker? its lined out in 20mm kingspan which seems to be stuck to the boat. Is this as good as sprayfoam? Should I be worried about what is behind it? it has a canaline 38 fitted. Good engine? Big enough to do rivers with a 57ft boat? A bit of water in the engine bay and a bit of rust on the driveshaft " I will try to attach a photo" Should I be worried? it has had a "professional" paint job which looks quite good but you could see the joints in the big plates on the top and body and it seemed to be blistering a tiny bit on the front deck. The white panel lines and the name was all "stick on" which I didn't like. Is it easy to get the stick on off? single glazed hopper windows and port holes? appriciate your thoughts Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lulu fish Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 The answer to all of your questions depend on the price it is being sold for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchcrawler Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 I would say a good spray foam job is better than Celotex, but a good Celotex job is better than a poor sprayfoam one and I have seen some poor ones. Is it lined out,can you see how tight the Celotex sorry Kingspan is or are there gaps? If you buy it I would suggest a flexible coupling on the drive.

Unless it has a water lubricated stetn gland, such as the Vetus type. These are not usually fitted with flexible coupling. Indeed I think it is only fairly recently that Vetus have approved their use with a flexible coupling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
