As far as the boats that moored in Sutton broad , the boats that I saw there on a regular basis left no visible mess , were moored away as opposed to in the reeds and I for one see no problem at all with them being there , the BA passing the buck to the RSPA is imho underhanded and beyond their remit.
Are boats not permitted to mudweight on tidal waters ?
Not tidal, Tidal waters end at entrance to Barton Broad from River Ant. If you look at the Ordinance Survey you will see NTL for Normal Tidal Limit.

I thoroughly agree.
I also had no idea that the RSPB are claiming some sort of control over Sutton Broad. Their ever increasing influence in the Broads area is becoming rather sinister.
I think the bought it when it came up for sale

Try to stick to the small outboards that have fuel injection. Over many years, any problems I have had, nearly all have been carburation. The worst being on my Honda 20 PowerThrust and float needles. Small Honda plastic/alloy flywheels are known for failure.
My money would alway go to Yamaha, Mariner/Mercury or Tohatsu.

It can not be so thin in the beam at that length.
It has less beam than a narrowboat which are normally 6ft 11ins.

The recent postings on this thread have brought back so many happy memories, of over 50 years ago now. When my late wife Judith and I, first as boyfriend/girlfriend then in 1971 a married couple shared a real passion for Continental touring/camping. Here, sadly not in very good condition are our steeds:-
I have to admit to being a somewhat indulged only son. The cars were all bought new.

PS. Back then I always used Castrol GTX in all my Triumph/BMC Minis and small sports cars. Never a problem.

And remember these old spec non synthetic oils have a recommended oil and filter change at 6000 miles or just 3000 if doing short, around town driving.
With the gearbox sharing the engine oil you don't want anything that gets too thin when hot. That is why I had an oil cooler fitted to my Clubman before taking on the 750km Autostrada del Sole.
The 998cc four speed set up was only just capable of attaining the Italian speed limit so the 39 horses were straining hard, hour after hour.
As an aside 39 bhp from a 998cc four pot, then, mine was a 72. Ford are now getting 170hp from their 999cc three pot in the Puma ST auto.
Not a recommendation but Halfords do this :-

I have often wondered, when you see boats on the rivers or moored in the Broads Marinas, their windows/screens festooned in GOBA stickers if they have been converted for Broads use.
Every boat that I have had the use of, been a crew member on and hired on the RGO system was fitted with direct discharge sea toilets.

Do you mean a proper RIB? = Rigid Inflatable Boat. That is a GRP hull and inflatable side tubes? or an inflatable boat with a solid transom. Very different animals in every respect, especially weight if going on davits.

Have a nice day, but don't overdo it. My best wishes to you both.
