If it was her father's then its a complete scam . If you read between the lines they have spent very little of their own money on the boat . I note they promoted the kiddy 's birthday well .

Where did the idea it's her fathers come from? According to what I've read, which isn't that much I admit, says they bought it on e-bay.

Why are they using such a large hammer to peen over the nails’I don’t recall using what seems to be a massive hammer
Sadly because they are out of their depth , they have no idea how to do ut . I tried to educate them but was branded as a so called "nay sayer "

pretty sure they bought it off ebay, dont recall any mention of it being her fathers

The two are not mutually exclusive. It could have been her father's; he could have sold it to A.N. Other, who then resold it on eBay. I think there's at least one well know forumite who went through exactly the same process, and it was a possibility for me - my father's Halcyon 27 is still afloat, and if she'd been available, I might have let sentiment overrule good sense!

Another week's episode of nothing . We know the engines run so why show it again When there is so much more important restoration work to be done . Winter is just around the corner and the rain is still. P☆ssing in . The more they show close ups of the hull the more its obvious that its beyond repair of couple of " wooden boat ignorant people " ( i don't mean that in a nasty way just factual ") and both having some serious health issues . Ship Happens ? I don't think so .

Did you really expect them to renovate this hulk? Wait for the ' we sold the engines and going to turn the engine room into a swimming pool' episode.

I noted on another channel of theirs (Oh yes they have another) they have now bought a 40' container which they are going to convert into a self efficient house while also refitting the boat. :unsure:

Is it me or am missing something here and I am not sure what it is :):) maybe Disney films are talking to them ??
