It does look a lovely boat Sue. Will you be keeping the old Lizard on the back?? or will he be up front steering

That's good to know I will ask at Hipperson's when Im down next as they may have taken them off when they bought them

I wonder what happened to the Pics ?? I would love to get hold of one and reinstate it back on the wall, you can see in the varnish where it used to be!!

Twas mine indeed! She still bares the scar right in the middle of the roof front luckly it stopped before doing any damage to the sunroof

What a great boat and quite cheap I think for what it is. I like the fact it comes with it's own cannon too

Some great internal pics there Paulandsarah! But honestly 4 wheatabix !!!

Blimey Jonny! How long did you sit there till you caught that one I know it's on your fav' list!!

Blimey! Just found this thread, I hope your on the mend mate...

I know what you mean Rod! I would love to have a refit done to mine like they did with their own 34 Sedans (Melody) Think it would hammer my house deposit though

Clive this seasons hirers are going to notice it missing

I would think an hours soak in that Norfolk Nog stuff should do the trick!

That's the same unit I have Col, Just looking at the last 2 photos, it looks like there is a nasty kink in the burners air intake pipe? The black one that hangs down from the bottom of the unit.

Clive, do you ever loose boats?? I dont mean stolen but like " Where the hell did we put such and such "

Finally Clive, your posting some real artwork up Managed to spot 1 in your first picture but aint found the other one yet (Good game this!!!)

God Clive ! How you lot keep on top of a sea of boats like that ( Only part of them shown in photo) impresses the hell out of me I notice from the pic that there are no 'Melody' or 'San Remo' out in the open? I assume these are kept indoors under armed guard through the winter

Hi Mark, F B Wilds boats still exist in vast numbers all over the broads Most I would say are probably in private hands now, but you wont have too look far before you find one! Bit like those pesky Bounty's really

Jonny the water tank starts at the top of the pic and disappears off the photo! The rest of the pic is the bilge

Does the engine come out straight up through the wheelhouse Clive??

Clive will have to run that one past his boss.............Where is Dan by the way!

I remember that series from my youth Clive! Loved it as well it being on the Broads and all! Didn't the twins used to call their father "Aged P" Happy Days!

http://www.marinescene.co.uk/product/48 ... -mega-tabs The Mega tabs look better value Keith with each tablet treating 50 Gallons I recon 3 of those dropped in now and again will sort the job out Thanks again.

Thanks for that Keith, I will be down there this week so will pop in and see if they have any Must remember to take just enough money to buy them and nothing else

Hi Keith and Frank, Keith I will look out for some of those as they sound ideal! I also thought about the beer line stuff just to do the pipework with but I think it is Caustic Soda they use which is probably a little too savage Frank My water piping was all renewed just before I bought the boat, it is the blue pipe you describe. I have also heard the clear pipe and light theory which makes alot of sense when you think about it

Hi Steve, The tanks are made of stainless steel, I suspect that the bacteria builds up in the pipework where the water is just sat there, as the smell clears when you run a good ammount of water through it. The whole system is drained down at the moment so I will give it a right good cleaning through at the start of the new season. How much Milton do you think I will need to blitz 140 gallons ???

Thanks for that Rod, I suspected this was a job I should really be doing. The tanks on my boat hold 140 Gallons I think so im going to need quite a bit of the stuff! I have found a chap on ebay selling Milton by 2x 5 litres but Jill seems to think you cannot use it with metal tanks???
