    Nothing more exciting than a project boat. I'd be tempted to get it craned out. We bought a semi derelict working boat and that first firing of the old Bolinder engine and the trip from London to Uxbridge was unforgettable. Them were the days!

      Yer I remember but I wasn't sure if it's a non starter or a rebuild great engine but like everything expensive 😅
      It would be a great boat to lift out the water and strip completely and rebuild.
      Depends on money 💰 bit it will look great in time.
      Uou done a great job getting one engine fully running and not hot running. Nice.

    Our old classic boat was a difficult boat to steer too. You are constinously correcting, where as our narrowboat was so much more direct, once we got the hang of opposite way with tiller . Thats a lovely old boat and soiunds good. Look forward to seeing it when all done up.

    • @NarrowboatWill
      @NarrowboatWill  5 месяцев назад

      I know what you mean. My first boat was a cruiser, and I was continuously correcting the steering. It was a pain to steer.

    Great to see that old boat working and good luck to Leon's mate in putting it back together. That's a lot of doing-upping, but lucky for him that you're so handy with an engine. Funny that you couldn't get over being inside a boat when it's moving... inside! 😯😄

  • @akilby8022

    A twin drive boat is difficult to drive with just one engine, it just pushes it along at an angle because the props are offset rather than in the center. The engine sounded sweet Will. 👍👍 well done buddy 👏👏
