Wonder why NO engine.

Too big for the broads.

Phew!!!

Too big for most canals, even if you fitted propulsion. 74ft and wide beam. Only any good as a house boat. Moving it will not be cheap either.

It looks like the top "cockpit" should fold down, which means it would go under the bridges. would look good in Hickling broad... :default_biggrin:

If you moored on the bottom of Hickling Broad would you get moved on?

I never have been one to look for boats for sale on Ebay. Now I see how many there are - even 'speed boats'! :default_cool:

Plenty of choice to increase your fleet some more Robin :default_norty:

A good coastal delivery job for Team BA then?

What are they going to tow it with? It must go a hell of a weight! John White Boats builds steel canal boats. Even Robin's 1000hp with it's set up will struggle with that on the end of a tow. Two words come to mind "White and Elephant"

I think that should go on the back of a truck, don't fancy having that trailer attached to my car.

I did see a big wide beam barge on the witham once called enigma, it had a large wheelhouse on top on hydraulic arms that folded over the back to sit behind the main hull, it was just folding back up after coming through torksey lock when I saw it, very impressive design.

I will have to try and find some piccies of it.

 

Found it!
