What a cute little boat

[Baitrunner]

I'm not plugging a certain boat sales yard, but I just love this little boat.

 

A bit pricey for something that might not be too warm in the colder months and it's gonna need a bigger fridge for Grace's wine store

 

Mind you it says it's a gentlemen's boat so probably rules most of us out anyway

Amazing! Wonder if it goes under Potter Heigham Bridge

Howard - it will one way or the other - you might have to buy some wood glue though if you get it wrong.

Hi Mark,

I think I could live with that boat as well, I like the wood and steering wheel coming through the floor is quaint.

It has plenty of mode cons.

 

I guess you look at the NYA site or are on their mailing list, I get their list most weeks, well you can dream

Hi Alan,

    On the mailing list. The steering wheel is just mad - looks very home made out of meccano!

 

I'm still waiting for that 52ft Fairline to come down in price  Not that I would know what to do with it - you wouldn't want to see that coming at you down the Chet - although it would probably be stuck on the bottom anyway.

Looks like NYA have a problem telling the difference between timber and fibreglass.

when i bought chameleon she was moored at landamores wroxham, these 2 were in the same shed possibly fitted out by the same company,only difference is, these 2 are still listed as patrol type boats on craigs site

Jeff it does say fibreglass hull with wooden superstructure on the nya site.

Guess it would be nicer if it was all wood.

all nice but please try to hide that ole crapper...!!

 

a nice fake comode lid wood top wood be nice .....???

 

 

 

 

got any boat fro sale ..................???

[ranworthbreeze]

Yes a nice boat but at £109.950 it ought to have gold plated fittings rather than brass

 

Jon you need boats, what about this beauty? That way you can change the lid!

Nice boat, NOT a nice price!

[MauriceMynah]

Hate to say it but I don't like it! Not to my taste at all.

Never mind £100k, I'd walk past it at 50 quid!

[smellyloo]

Just think of the extras you would have to buy .....

 

Straw boater

stripey blazer

white plimsoles

 

and for night attire

 

sleeping cap

night shirt

wee willy winky candle

 

Yep I think that would suit me just fine. £110k ..... pocket money for some

[MauriceMynah]

My dear fellow, are you trying to tell us that you do not already possess those essentials?

When I read 'What a cute little boat' I thought you were talking about me..

I love classic launches, day boats, slippers, gentleman's launches etc. but a always amazed at the prices they fetch on the broads. Perhaps it has something to do with the rarity value but there are equally good examples (some better) on the Thames which whilst still very expensive offer much better value. Take a look at the likes of Peter Freebody or Stanley & Thomas and they have some fabulous launches.

 

Having said that at £100k plus this one is expensive, top of my wish list for a lottery win would be this little beauty.

 

Yours for the cost of several body organs or a modest family home in the home counties!
