Ship Happens

Oh no not another " Ship happens " ! ....... looks like Boating World at Land rate. I wonder how much the mooring is per month .

You got it!

What a terrible set of pictures . How not to sell a boat.
If the owner can't be bothered with decent pics then maybe he couldn't be bothered to look after the boat ?

The only way of having decent pictures would be to photograph it using a time machine, or possibly aerial photography from 30,000'.

It would appear to be S39 Puma, a fast attack craft formerly of the Bundesmarine.

Another boat graveyard ....... pity boats like that and Shit 'appens are allowed to just be left to die in such idilic surroundings

The engines were removed for the S130 project I believe. Some 10-15 years ago a lot of the internal fittings and tanks were sold for scrap and a succession of owners have made their mark.

Because 50 year old engines are so much better than 80 year old ones.

Apparently the three original engines were missing. It was fitted with a couple of MWM's. The houseboat, a Zobel class Schnellboat, with 4 MB engines more appropriate to the restoration

I notice on ship happens FB page the woman encourages posters/ members to become YT patrons because patrons are privileged to have access to view the weekly YT episode a few days earlier than us plebs . Eh? They pay to watch the same episode on a Wednesday each week rather than a freebe on a Friday . ...... Now that is very clever marketing . There are some very gullible members .

They have bought wood to begin restoration,could be more interesting now than Kardishan lifestyle vids

Ha ! It will never happen . This weeks video was about cooking bacon and unpacking a fridge ...... nothing about boat work. I'd have thought having got the timber ( nicely seasoned ) they would have describe how they were going to make the nice long steam box and how they were going to generate the steam . ...... since its meant to be a restoration YT . ......... its a joke , they are clearly out of their depth but now realise that they are in too deep to pull out .

Loved the bit this week about the chart magnifier that either they bought or another donation, pity its going to be years before they might need it

I can't get my head around who would a piccy of that in their lounge ?. ......... got admit they are very clever at scrounging money though .

It’s just going to be a bodge,proper work on the Hull cannot be done unless it’s ashore......IMHO

Just watched them tonight make a cabinet for the sink & gas hob and they have mounted the gas bottle directly below the gas hob, Oh Lord where do they get them from

I just watched that...is the gas bottle under the sink a permanent thing? I can't believe they are that stupid.

No mention of roves with the copper nails.

Oh they are that stupid alright ....... checkout the steam bomb they made they made to heat the water . No interlock nor relief valve . Utter utter madness . They are just a pair of dangerous numpties .

I cannot believe someone who builds custom made camper vans as a living would fit a gas bottle inches below a gas hob
Oh I think it is permanent as she then said she would drill a hole in the bottom of the locker to vent any gas leakage to the outside of the boat what makes her think the cabinet is airtight with two doors on the front ,

Very sadly if that gas bottle goes off there will be nothing left

Perhaps they're well insured against gas explosions?
