Thanks everyone for your help

Totally agree, but still have this nagging doubt of what if the broker close down ?
-
Hello ? Once again we find ourselves boat-less having sold our boat, just a couple of weeks before the lockdown. Which depending how you view things can be lucky or unlucky, but not having a crystal ball ? Which brings me to the subject of how people feel about brokers asking for a £ 1000 deposit to hold boats subject to viewing, which is refundable when viewed If boats not what you wanted.

I'm sure someone on the forum must have a Canslmaster boat can maybe gave some advice/ opinions on builder

Hi Our boat is a skinny widebeamor a fat narrowboat 30ft x 8.6ft, we used DCL Transport Services Preston Total cost £480 - collect from Bridgehouse Marina PR3 0JJ Delivery to York Marina YO19 4RW
-
We bought our boat at Lancaster and road transported to york and I found this quite simple ⚓️Possible due to letting the experts do they job. Once you price up, lifts & Transport cost, you can use this when purchasing a boat. Most Important was all the help / advice we received from forum members ? We listened and used there experience ??♀️

I really like this stove brilliant price the only disadvantage is has a 4inch flue & the squirrel is 5inchs just thought it would be easyier to buy another stove with 5inch flue.

Thanks we Love the quirky look of this but unfortunately it's a wood burner ☹️ We need a multi fuel stove

Oops it is force 4 chandlers my mistake wishing it was Midland chandlers with a Freak Friday coming up thanks anyway.

Yes spadfoot we have thought that & midland chandlers have A Morse Stoves on offer just under £600 which is a really good price. But getting old stove out & new one in seems to be the problem Any ideas on how to make this easier
-
The stove is as old as the boat (17) so that's pretty good however we have only had the boat 3 years

Oops Well it comes to use all old age our lovely cosy Morse Squirrel stove has developed a saggy top & wrinkles, that is cracks on the top. A little bit of plastic surgery preformed by OH has worked wonders, but sadly she will have to go We are looking for replacement : 5kw British made multi fuel stove budget of £450 Also,How easy |hard will it be to take the old stove out & install a new stove

We do this too We use Old ropes to moor up in marina & the good ropes when out cruising.

We prefer to usee Milton tablets once a year to clean the water tank & it cleans the pipes, shower head etc.
