I was having a gander at the videos (Link provided) I see she is twin screw.  2 x 29hp 3 cylinder french units.  Both props seem too far fwd to my eyes, distance form the rudder with it being just the single one, (the size of which is smaller than we have onboard 'B.A') which is nowhere near the props.  I would therefore assume that slow speed manoeuvring / berthing / turning  requires plenty of opposing engine control rather than just using the rudder.  A decent upgrade would be a pair of slightly longer shafts with 4 x blade props on t end, twin rudders, 2 x 50hp Beta's and she would handle much better.  I can feel another lottery ticket being required here.  £90k seems somewhat optimistic even at Broads prices.  She is a lovely boat all the same
