We have been about for a while,we are EMS at Great Yarmouth
we are hoping that you will all take advantage of the new site next year.
just to clear it up we are hoping for 12 residential moorings and the rest of the site will be for hire craft and private boats less 8 moorings for the houses

36 minutes ago, marshman said:
Now thats interesting but achievable??? So the developers think that the "profit" on 8 houses is going to be enough to dredge and refurbish the moorings??
Sounds a bit fanciful to me - if anything is left off in the fullness of time, methinks the moorings may end up being only for those 8 houses. Or indeed at all??
Or am I just being a cynic??
We are the new owners of marina quays,and the river front is going to be the first part of the project including moorings for Holliday boats and residential alike.
the dredging has already been done along the full length of the site,next is a big clean up new parking electric hook up,and renovating the old control building.
hoping to be open for business in the new year.

yes boards of and now laying at the yacht station before they caved the roof in.had to flood it as well thankfully not to far motor is okOh geez.. did you guys have to take the white boardings off?? or did the boat do that itself? Much damage to the boat? Well done again.. you guys certainly picked a good mooring spot there
-
Yep, big oooops
-
i will take one if they are that cheap where is the yard I'm in GYfor £500
the guy wants them gone from a yard he's clearing in great yarmouth

Sounds a bit home made to me,the only way you can use a car gear box in a boat is to change the gears about in the box as reverse is the lowest ratio in the box your prop will turn so slow it will have no effect.we have tried this in the past on a 4108 with a commercial van box,it was great in third for drive and used fourth gear in place of reverse,but be aware this is not a DIY job.you can buy a second hand velvet drive for a hundred pounds now so it's not worth all the effort

all joking aside.i take it you are the quo vadis we see on the Bure "private boat nice sounding motor"they do sound nice what are they?as for fuel 20ltrs an hour at 1400 rpm yes it's thirstyDid I hear a gauntlet fall to the floor

not another set of bollards for my workshop wall,are they nice?Did I hear a gauntlet fall to the floor
-
yes massive,not the same as you have witch is for speed.our prop setup 28x16x4 running through a reverse transfer coupled to a Perkins 6354.4 over bored and mani cooled with a two stage holset water cooled turbocharger high compression 48 bolt head over size injectors and a hi flow injection pump.tosh has no speed 8/9 knots max but brake away power yes,I'm the last person you want a tug of war withMassive horse power ?

close enough,Titan is flatish on the bottom and was originally a shallow water tug designed to ground.Tosh is a navy tug and is built for brake away power,ideal for pulling of the mud with massive horse powerHi John,
They`ve still got Titan, but i think they use her mainly for getting into shallow water, especially when boats go outside the marker posts. John told me when they first got her that she was specially desined for shallow estuary work on the Thames. I believe she is relatively flat bottomed, though i`m not 100% on that. The tug in the picture i would imagine is used for salcvage use in the main rivers?. I`m sure wehlau will let us know?.

no 37years experience he just lost concentration.Be warned those bends have a shelf about ten feet out it drops drastically,my tug draws 1.3M and I'm floating at low water,note the crane holding the back corner upNot a pleasent trend, Maybe as you say more first timers on the rivers.

When my kids were young they used to wear lengths of timber on their feet, like snow shoes, so they could walk on the soft mud when they were collecting old bottles that have been on or in the mud for years. They called it 'splodging' and great fun it was too.
in my home town they have a race called the Maldon mud race,just thinking maybe an idea for Breydon,goggle it it's great fun for all

wrong type of mud for a joy ride over there,but it's offThat looks a bit hard there though Peter? We do it a lot here on the medway although it's a bit softer so even a bilge keeler can do it here! Some of the best nights sleep I've had have been sitting on the mud .. Having done it at Breydon.. can we do it without getting everyone all excited? (I don't mind the stares and the forum posts as it will be worth it!!)

my uncle "maffets" was horrified at how far it is on apparently this has happened only a hand full of times in forty years.i had the boss of Alfa craft with me this morning and the hirers just laughed at him when he climbed on the boat and said "looks like we f&@?ked this guys boat up",he replied I am the owner and you have just lost you deposit as he stood in beer cans and food all over the floor.apparently they behaved impeccably on the show round.i think it's just bad luck for him at the momentWe just saw it. It certainly is a long way up the mud and I believe its spring tides at the moment. Certainly also sounds like these lads were being stupid and I personally think they should be made to pay for cost occurred as this isn't lack of experience but stupidity.
Thoughts to alpha and any future alpha customers whom may be inconvenienced by these idiots.
Good luck too to wehlau and maffetts. Hope its a safe and easy job.

funny enough last night I called them and told them to throw the mud weight over board for safety,when I arrived this morning it had gone rope and all,I suspect he threw the lot over last night in his incoherent stateand no mudweight...
