    @C.Ricko I know roughly where you are, is it down the same dyke as boulters marine, but not sure where down that area you are, I do know the absolute easiest fuel in horning is at the yard next door to the new inn, as its right on the river, any chance you could pin a map to show us where your fuel dock is plese?

    Thanks

    Sorry for the delay but it seems the answers are here before me! 

    Thanks everyone ..

    Farewell To Some Old Favourites

    in Hire Boat Discussion

    Posted

    Evening, lots of interesting chat on here but its all good, the de merge was not a result of Dad not being with us anymore although on one hand he thought it should all stay together he knew that with the amount of Grandchildren involved that there was a issue brewing and something would need to be addressed at some point. With my current lack of interest in the holiday camp coupled with my desire to develop and build boats it made sense for me to try and do my own thing, I handed over the running of the Stalham yard about 4 years ago and was just building the boats for the fleet at Stalham and looking after the Horning yard as well as the industrial units..

    With the De merge a reduced New build was going to be kept by the Stalham site but with the Covid situation the decision was made to close it which I felt was a sad thing as I had built the team up over 10 years and learned a shed load from them I didn't want to loose that knowledge base so after a break I took some of  them on in July 2020 (before the de merge had happened) and we started building a Hull which I had had designed I was still working on the superstructure.. 

    Its fair to say that I wouldn't have made half the decisions which are being made at Stalham at present but that is the whole point in me not being involved any more so its not my business.

    I was running 3 boats for a coupe of years, we have jumped to 8 this year under Horning Pleasurecraft but its not been simple or straight forward although finding the customers has not been difficult. 

    Wroxham daybook hire has new owners also Norfolk dayboat  hire at Woods Dyke are relatively new from the current base but were operating last year.. 

    Summercraft has a boat or two in operation after a break (I think)

    Dan

    Wet Shed Available Horning

    in Local Broads Business Promotions and Information

    my moorings in Horning are not the most expensive at £71.50 per foot, these will go up a little this October (but not a lot.. )

    that basically buts the price of a 45' mooring to £3217.00 so bearing in mind the value of the shed and the cost of maintaining a boat, I don't think its a bad price.

    obviously id doesn't suit all boats or owners but it is there and available.

    It’s a nice idea. Long term though, if the property is to be sold in years to come we would be in a situation. Plus that £5k is more than twice what we are paying now

    Griff

    Im not selling it, its the same as any property or boatyard, they do change hands but no plans for that here. 

    it probably is twice what you are paying but its a different shed and in Horning, just think what you would save in diesel getting here every week from Stalham :default_smiley-char054:
