The day boats operated by King Craft at Abingdon Boat Centre have been transferred to Kris Cruisers and were moved downriver this week.

Thats a shame, hope that doesn't mean King Craft are going to close?

I see the pontoon boat isn't with them

They always seemed to do quite a good trade (weather permitting)

This photo has been bugging me, what lock is that? If it's Cleeve isn't it a reversed image?

Yes I was struggling to identify it too but didn't want to admit it
Wondered if it was reversed?

No more day boats at Kingcraft but the chandlery will continue . Not sure which lock it is though but it's definitely above reading as was taken yesterday on the first stage of delivery . All boats now in Datchet.

Yes if you flip it you can see it is Cleeve, couldn't really be any other, well done Mike.

It's a no sale on ebay, ended early by the seller as the item is no longer available.

Look like somone may have bought the lot, see the question at the bottom.

Well spotted. They'd accept 7.5k each, with a discount for four? So would I!

I bid £2000 for 1 and it was turned down :nonchalance:

That's the sort of value I see them at.

Not surprised but was worth a try, they are a single diesel on a shaft so quite desirable.

They all sold a couple of days ago.
Ref pricing these are tool to work and earn money and to buy new £22.000 and the proof is in the pudding 8 sold in two weeks

But at what price?

 

[Relax.A]

To be honest it's not my place or would it be fair to say.
But it's safe to say if it wasn't close enough to the asking they would still be on e bay .

 

[prof pat pending]

Rather oddly they all appear to be back at Abingdon now, along with a couple of others

Salters have taken over, Trading as Abingdon Bridge Marine Ltd. I just hope that the Mooring Fees don't go up!
