Might be a nice interim for Gludy.
Certainly less wrong with it than his last boat! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Agree with WhiteFin. If this guy is really a fully qualified marine surveyor, he surely would have picked up these problems before buying and, if the boat is really worth £91k (which I very much doubt), why does'nt he get the repairs done himself which surely can't cost that much? It's only a bit of re-plating and welding
My suspicion is that he's a chancer who's bought the boat dead cheap, probably knowing the faults and is now trying to offload it to turn a profit. Could also be that there are other far more expensive faults like major engine probs as well. Does'nt mean that the boat is'nt a good buy for somebody looking for a project, just that any buyer would have to be absolutely certain of what else is wrong with it

I'd say that's spot on. Too much Mea Culpa and look at the car in the pic
Rings alarm bells to me. Got one large boat already, bought another, runs a "faux" posh car that cost him under £5K. Lives in Blackheath.
Hey, hang on. Does that ring any bells?

Hmm...I'm not convinced that the car is an indicator of anything in particular; It's a Shadow 1 (going by the rear bumper) or 2 (going by the rear headrests) so it's too old to have been bought to impress anyone. It could be anything from an old banger he can't afford to maintain to a beautifully looked after classic

We also have another vessel in Dover Marina, a 55 ton, 19 metre, ex Norwegian Patrol Vessel,

Surely someone on here must know of such a vessel in Dover ?? Might just be a lead as to whether a con or not??

If you look very closely, you find that the boat and its owner have little round circles on them where people have been touching them with barge-poles.

Sad for him, but to spend that sort of cash without a full survey including 1 day inspection ahsore would be madness!
