You now wouldn't be able to afford a boat that a surveyor wouldn't pass. People get themselves into all sorts of problems buying these boats. Hence some of the no licences etc. You must admit though that there are more than a few who buy a boat with less experience. One at the yard where we built ours was fitted with white carpets & the female side of the ownership always wore high heels when visiting the boat. They didn't keep it long. Another at Pennylands wanted a boat 'cause his neighbours had one. Sue nb Nackered Navvy ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Great things are happening at Yahoo!
