I'm begining to build a picture here!!

Exsurveyor, i stand coreected on that, makes it even worse though!

I am currently looking for a boat around the 27' mark on the broads and when i checked out the licence fee, wow, that nearly knocked my socks off. Correct me if i am wrong but a boat 27' by 9' 6" £406!!! I also recently looked into selling up and moving onto a narrowboat and that was going to cost £1216 with virtualy free mooring everywhere, free Elsan disposal, free water and rubbish disposal. The major difference between canals and the broads is noticeably the amount of miles you can travel. Ibelieve there to be approximate 250 miles on the broads but on the canals there are 2000 miles of waterways. So you pay roughly a third of the cost on the broads but there are 8 times more waterways you can use on the canals! Think someone got their maths wrong. Just saying.

Dom, the one at Potter, i thing is the grey superstructure, i have seen that one, i have it in mind and i have seen the paint job (oh dear). I have to say a bit of work doesn't scare me.

Just a quick hello to everyone Love boats, love boating, what else is there?

Don't worry Dom, i won't be buying a petrol, apart from the lack of supply and carbo monoxide issues i don't like the idea of volotile petrol fumes mixed with gas and the possibility of hydrogen gas from batteries, bit of a boom if it all goes horribly wrong. And before everyone shouts, i know petrol can be safe but i have this habit of looking at the worst case possible.

Yes Cambridgecabby, i have seen a petrol one which has a portaloo, i know that petrol supplies are few and far between around here. That's double wammy because when i had my last boat, that had a porta pottie and it wasn't easy to find somwhere to empty that on the broads either! Thanks to everyone else for you info as well.

Hi all, Does anyone know if all Elsian 27's were fitted with pump out toilets. I am looking at the possibility of buying one that has a Portta Loo and the possibility of fittting a pump out. My train of though is, if it's had one before, it may make it easier to re-fit rather than start from scratch as it were. Thanks in advance.
