Hi Trevor,

 

That looks a reasonable boat from the small picture,  it might cost as much to transport from Devon to the Broads as the price of the boat.

 

Even for a project £3000 seen a very low price.

but there is using  a toilet and leaving it clean and  without a  spill......................!!!!!!!!

 

 

the galley work top are epoxied based filled then two pac varnished  several times 

 

 

if yer look close yuo can see the tiny dimple,s from a bad atmosphere ..............not a prob will let harden then mop and polish to produce a decent finish ...................

Jon, if you got up earlier you would have plenty of time to do all these things.

Hi 10B,

 

If Jon got up any earlier he would be like "The four Yorkshire men" of the Monty Python fame.

 

Regards

Alan

[10B]

Alan, I had not seen "The Four Yorkshire Men".

Just searched for it and it came up on U-tube "Yorkshire Men".

Against those poor men John has got an easy life.

Sorry John.

Was nice to meet you today Jon, you certainly have plenty of boats on your yard nice to see the woodies being rescued.
