Unfurtanatly we have had to take her out of her mooring in the river Crane we had been there for 2 years but the scout leaders who never wanted us there finally got their way originally DF the chair wanted to let the moorings for revenue but the anals were not happy whilst there we had numerous thefts and not from river pirates and our boat deliberatly sunk any way I wont lose any sleep over it as she is in our back yard now and is undergoing a major overhaul

So sadly no boating for us this year ( hint hint )

Going back to the twats they even dont want the house boats that have been there for donkeys years to go and also give them grief
 
She needs lots

carb needs sorting

oil change ( not easy )

lower drive needs taking off ( miniskp managed to drop the side filler plug into it )

Electrics need sorting

need to make new engine cover ( went downstrea when she sunk )

Batteries need to be secured properly

antifouling ( see pic )

hull needs polishing

bimini top needs cleaning

an am sure the is more !

That would daunt me. I cannot even work up the energy to clean my launch let alone do all the odds and ends of tidying that needs doing.

I must get around to finding someone to do it all for me.
 
I think your just down heartened about it all right now , give her a good clean and make her look good and it will spur you on to do the other jobs ....... maybe /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Good idea will take you up on that thanks

Am a bit disheartened but I and am swamped with work commitments and also having to deal with social services (a55holes )re fostering miniskips chum who was dumped on and of cource swmbos troubles (see other threads) makes it difficult to get motivated
 
Oh and I forgot cylinder head overhaul it has slightly burnt exaust valve which gives lumpy tickover but gets onto all 4 cyls when revs come up I would rather spend time getting her 100%

at the end of the day we are not seasonal boaters we go out in winter etc and I would also like to go on the pond and coastal hop so she has to be 100 %
