I only just noticed

[MtB]

Little narrowboat worth £30k?

 

Or little knackered old dingy worth £30?

 

Or something else? Doesn't sound as though you're that bothered about it...

[valrene9600]

If you were that bothered would you not give some details.

Is it a cruiser or narrowboat. Length, description, last seen when. Can understand about the photo but the casualness is strange. I would be gutted and giving a hell of a lot of detail.

[MtB]

Yes. The best we have to go on is a little red boat with no reg.

 

I bet there are a few thousand of those around!

[leeco]

It's only a little red boat not worth that much but I loved it. Maybe another boat came past and took it as they didn't get the outboard engine

1 sec I have a pic

I think with anything like that going missing it's not the value, it's more the fact that some scumbag has made off with your property.

However much you might make light of it, you can't help being both upset and angry.

sorry to hear of your problem

[leeco]

Thanks John

 

I'll find it one day.

[Ange]

What a cracking little boat! I hope you get it back

[MtB]

Yes, hope you find it.

 

Any easily recognised boat I think. Someone here may well spot it.

[Phil Ambrose]

Ah I see, for little red boat read little red dinghy. Shouldn't be too hard to spot but it's the sort that would strap on a car roof.

Here's some better pics of the little boat.

Looks similar to one I saw at Granary the other month, last I saw it it was in the dry dock nearest the lock and tied to the lock side of it. This was before knostrop was open, so if it was removed by boat I'm guessing it would have been Leeds and Liverpool way.

Sounds like kids have had it then.

It was at the dry dock (nearest the lock) for a few days and it was low in the water one morning as it had a bit of water in it. In the evening it wasn't their so I checked if it had sunk, couldn't see it but it may be because the water was too deep too see. It may be worth checking when the water is calm to see if you can see. I'm up that way tomorrow so I will have a good look.

Nice one robbo.

 

It probably is sunk as I can't see anyone going anywhere on it without the engine.

Maybe if they brought their own oars but they wouldn't get anywhere fast that way.

 

Let's us know if you can see it mate but I'll see if I can get down tomorrow

[rasputin]

It is quite difficult to sink a fibrocell, I have tried and failed, you would need a big hammer.

[leeco]

It wouldn't take long to fill with rain water so I'm not sure.

 

I love this site though for getting info.

[rasputin]

The front rear and sides have inbuilt bouyancy , well they did on the two i have owned.

If it has somehow sunk (maybe it was raining lead), won't it be on the end of it's mooring line*?

No, apparently it's a sinker.
