I have a six foot hook over ladder that is stored outside whenever onboard and two throwing lines. You never know when you will need them. -
Thats another job added to the list
-
I suspect the cost of providing footings for anything over two storey on the site would be horrendous. I can't think of any property in the area of the river over two storey. The owner of Yare View had huge problems finding firm enough ground to build a steel frame house on. Rumour has it the groundworks alone cost over 600,000.

And that could be the problem, if the workforce are cut and resources scaled back as they wind production down, standards may drop despite good builders. The difference between being employed and directed from on high or being self-employed and maintaining your own reputation. Personally I would never buy from the start or end of any production run.

They are completing all order for new builds and concentrating on hire boats, allegedly.

Sorry, Brundall Gardens Marina. A very nice looking Ocean 30 was moored there for a while.
-
Ocean Dawn, were you moored in BGM for a while ? Always worth posting up a full description and photos here before instructing a broker, you never know, someone might know someone who is interested. A donation is cheaper than commision charges.

Bacs payments are near instant these days, very Norfolk that a organization that takes large sums of money has no one who can check the account online at a weekend. A stern phone call should not be "winding them up" It should be focusing their attention.

A stern phone call I suspect

Brokers only act in their own and the vendors interest, no matter how helpful they may appear to a purchaser.

So the choice is out and dry out with potential for rib failure and sinking when it goes back in or leave in and let the timbers rot faster , Much as I admire woodies, Glad I have a Tupperware.

As a Tupperware pilot, how is the sawdust used, is it packed in externally ?

I have worked out his plan, Robin wants a remote control boat in scale to Indy

John 5:8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. Good ole Reverend Google Timbo, Rest, relax and do as you are told,

Good morning Timbo, are you confined to the asylum again, hope you feel better soon.

I think this tribute says it all about an incredible mind trapped in a failing body. RIP

A garage isn't for a car it's for sundry boat bits.
-
If it was a little bit on a 30 - 40 year old solidly built boat I wouldn't have a worry. On a 16 year old boat, probably with a thinner lay up I would be more concerned and would seek a substantial reduction. Osmosis is still an uncertain problem with varying opinions.
-
I am up to jetwash and clean the boat this weekend, that will be fun. Matron always says about remaining snow, It's waiting for the snow coach to come back to pick it up, guess she might be right.
-
Why the need for criticism and sarcastic comments ?
-
Most surveys I see are 95% padding and what if, we couldn't inspect etc. I walk away from any boat that smells of diesel, especially petrol ones The state of many boats for sale is dire, same goes for property.

Creek and Wheeze

Normal is only what most do, like average, variations exist outside of normal ranges. I would assess the age and condition of a boat and decide to from there. I might take an educated risk and be mindful of any additional resources I had if I came across an expected problem. As a surveyor I am well aware of the exclusions and small print get out of jail clauses contained in most surveys.
