I need to move my engineless boat from Boston marina, through the Grand Sluice, to it's new home about a mile downriver.
Options are, tow it (see other post!), fit an engine (marina not happy about this, would have to tow it back upriver to do work) or borrow an outboard to take it through myself.
Has anyone got an outboard (roughly 10 - 20hp) which I could borrow for a day or so. Cash is in short supply at the moment, but payment could be arranged in kind. I'm fairly practical and have plenty of experience working on engines (although not boats), have electrical skills and have worked building caravans for 5 years (sorry!) so have fitted thousands of water, gas and electrical systems very similar to boat setups. Anything as long as it's not washing up...........
