Thanks Clive.
You sound like the man with the know how. The Broads Venturer XII is the boat in your profile.
If I could keep picking your brain, I'd appreciate it.
On the Jessie May, the engine doesn't work, I'm told it's either the starter motor or alternator. The engine's a BMC 2.7 diesel. Are these difficult to get parts for as you say in your thread.
May have been out of the water for a while, so difficult to know whether she'll be watertight when she goes back in.
Her reserve was a fair bit more than the highest bid achieved, so as a starting point, I'm wondering how much more I'll have to pay before she's ready to go.
Any info will be a great help.
