  1. Hi Cockatoo. I am restoring a bounty 44 from Rico's that has needed fully gutting to a shell and re starting. I have two Chinese heaters in it and would live to get the afterburner units for them. Can I ask where you got them please? Both heaters are still temp rigged up just to provide heating while I am working on the boat which now has a floor but nothing else! Thanks Steve Sent from my iPad using Norfolk Broads Network
  2. Just got the app very handy thanks! Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app
  3. Hi and thanks for the advice. You are correct Robin, I would not be focusing in this like a seaboat at all its a river boat so much more forgiving life in that respect. She seems ok on the surface with no seroiis impact issues so am happy with the base that I will have to work with. Taking up the floor is a great idea. Nothing feels spongy but think would be good to check kt while its all apart. not looking to reinvent the wheel here just make a nice place to spend a week and ensure we have the room, layout, and facilities we want. Have always wanted an ex hire cruiser to do this to but could not afford to do it in our earlyier boating life (thus the old Shetland start, which we loved to death) will do my best to blog it but never done that either so and aventure awaits!
  4. Hi paws. Thanks for the heads up and your experience. Sounds like we doung a similar thing then to you guys. we are intending to strip it right out and start again with new linings, kingsize rear master cabin with onsuite shower amd toilet. Main toilet and shower, larger saloon with dinette open to it (at times) with the long galley to port. All re trimmed and wired etc. Did a similar thimg to a 34 sealine some years back. With a full re trim. any areas of problems to watch for?
  5. Not so much as a thankyou when I went to pay for the S43 (£680ish) last year and, repeat AND they asked me if I wanted a tide book? Said yes, so they went way to re do the invoice for the extra £1!!! will do it by post next year so do not feel so inadequate again??
  6. Hi griff at her age she is not in gel so the paint will have to be redone. Only after the refit though. Getting very wrapped up in the plans and learning to veneer wood etc! Cant wait.
  7. Yes got a mooring and know all about the toll as just sold our Sealine S43
  8. Hi yes thanks for that. I know it will have it and expect it to. So unless it looks like a bunch of dinner plates attatched to the hull I am not overly worried about it. Any other views on the type and hull are welcome. thanks for the input so far. As only experience of this type of cruiser is hiring the old FBWilds Carabean many years ago with hydro dives. the bouty is a mystery but seems such a nice and quite solid layup for a good project
  9. Yes thanks for that. Would be ensuing enough bulkheads are in the rigth places etc just going to make it a super spacious comfy river side retreat
  10. Hello All. After some 20 years of boating at first on the broads in a shetland and fairline holiday, and then for the last 15 years or so on the salty stuff in several boats. we are looking to buy an ex hire broads boat and take things easier for a few years. I have heard that the bountys are well laid up boats and seem resonably well thought of by ex fleet owners. What would be the feelings, thoughts and concerns of the assembled masses on here be on the typere age issue common faults etc? The one I have in mind is still on regular hire and has a 4220he Nanni motor on standard shaft drive. She is a Bounty 44 mk1 single level cruiser and we are looking at gutting her to make a realy nicely appointed 2 plus 2 cruiser. Any thoughs on hull, other issues and osmosis? I know she will have some but is this vintage of hull (1975 so 47 years old ) more or less prone to that than others? Would the osmosis be severe or just present etc? Will get a survey as current insurance company has requested one so without it we wont be able to i sure her. your thoughts would be very welcome
