dmr Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 I reckon that's not far off normal, maybe an inch or two down at most. She always sits very low in the water, its that Kelvin! ... and mtb is used to people accusing him of sinking. She might be sat just a little on the bottom and so tilted over an inch, but I reckon she's ok. And he's put a Whipergen in, that can't help, that was pretty heavy! ..............Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) Had a message back from mike following my phone call. He referred to a joke boats for sale thing going round.

MtB Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Thanks for the warning, I only left the boat 20 mins ago (funeral in the church to ring at) but the skeg is firmly aground and the boat listing to port. The waterline other side is 4” above the water! Will be back in a while to double check... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athy Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 I assume that Mr. DC knew it was MtB's boat and was having a laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtB Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Ok been back to the boat now and all is fine. Water level has risen, boat is floating again and that guard iron is an inch above the waterline now! Still can't see the thread on facebook though. Thanks for the heads up to DC and Matty.

Heartland Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) Well at least campanology is ap pealing- glad your boat is ok. A few years ago Steve and myself hired a boat from Anderton we had a problem with that craft as it was leaking water into the inside from the heating system. It had an automatic pump that was working overtime-after having it checked out, we returned to the boatyard at Anderton for repair and a a replacement part.
