Try suggesting "You know love, we could sell this place, live on a narrowboat and have have some early retirement cash." and see how far that gets you!

Swimming with the fishes with concrete fins.

Not a chance. With all OH's rubbish (what he calls the tools of his trade) a long boat would almost instantly be a submarine. Full of water. Not nice.

!2 Bore. Thanks very much for taking the time to sift through that lot for me. The boat from Gwynedd looks interesting.

Looks very narrow, but could be the pics. And the engine looks like 80's vintage. Please, never rely on those life jackets!

Last Monday I suggested that we rent our house out, buy a boat on the Norfolk Broads, spend the summers on that and the winters in southern Spain and Portugal in our camper, living on the rent we'd get from the house. The OH didn't bite unfortunately.

Bebo, don't be sitting here in ten or fifteen years thinking " if only we'd done it" It sounds like a really good plan to me.

I've just landed home having bought this one. https://www.apolloduck.co.uk/feature.phtml?id=207082 I paid substantially less than the asking price and its still on the back of my van in the driveway. If the weather is kind I should be able to get a couple of months of end of summer fishing in.

Decent boat that, looks like a semi planing hull so should get you where you want to go quick enough.

One thing to check, you have two engines from different manufacturers, make sure the fitment from the fuel tank is the same for both.

They are both Yammys but the auxillary has a petrol tank built in.
