A sad ole day
A toast to man who loved the waters of the UK
From a man in the north who came to the south
He came to conquer all waters from the fens to the canal network of the UK and even the Thames
and rest on the broads.......
he started some waterways causes to save some coarse s from middle level to the Driffield canal
with help to the broads and would show support to the little boat clubs of the ouse and nene too
Fromm middle level boat men club to the Dilham boat club too
a man with water and love of boats in his heart and views. ...
I thank him for my boat world and life....
god bless....my old farther of the river
R I p........Peter heward
my dear ole dad....
A sad day in deed
From all at the broads happy boating...

oh deep joy ..................
two bolts to undo ...........
not so simple I fear
built boat on top of floor ,ontop of no access to prop tube back of cutlass housing
undo panel in bog ....
remove hot tank drain system ,remove tank
make a panel acess in fake bulkhead to gain acess to hopfully floor /bilge ,cut a new hole big enough to hopfully fit bit of body and arm to gain access to back of tube
no such luck .either i,m too fat, old and got short arm or the nice chap who built this boat of 5 yr old thorgth "well not in my life time will need that "
..great can do reach top bolt and remove, but sadly not bottom ,with chin up against rear proper bulk heads and pushing hard with arm stretch out as much as so still no joy
and yes we did all the extension etc on to and stiff wire trick too etc etc etc
push bolt out from under side ,easy ........
renew .............simple reseal ,new washer and lock orff...........
install simple top bolt, bottom bolt ..ohh dear
lets say a hole in bolt, a wire soldered to it, two people and a bit of jigerry pokerey , swearing and yippes at last .only took best part of a day to sort ........................
stil lifting boat and clean them bums .........
go to tow three boats in this week for works to collect poor sick dogs so fire up the tow boat and were orf .............
nice very hard wearing proper winter cover going on a classic to wrap up
this is just the first fit ,to lay out the ole cover on the boot .it wil fit superb and be able to lift in sections as to man handle and also still cruise in depths of winter with access to port side and view from wheel house too all clever stuff yer know
very strong well built too ,last for yrs these are made to last and are not in the realms orf silly money to just ask we do all ......
all strapped made to fit not sag fully adjustable too
these cover we have made for yrs too and are superb .........
breath no sweating .........so good just come and see.................
some good news to cheer me ole misert gut self up ...............
at last look like the first new built 34 foot boat to come to yard for sale is on its way at last .........more to come ..........we l I hope .???????
head work still to do this one is nearly ready to fit, been all cleaned and re set valves too
