It started as a road trip up north for Rob and I to view a Narrowboat on the hard standing and ended up being way way more that #project #roadtrip #boat
Interesting dilemma Get a Solicitor to draw up the paperwork That way everyone knows where they stand on the agreement Your blogs get more interesting every time Looking forward to the outcome
That is the best way to do things and keeps everyone honest. We had a verbal agreement with the owner of a horse and luckily for us she was an honourable person. It could have gone sideways very quickly.
Yes, getting the financial and legal agreements sorted and documented is so important before anything is started, ie: moving it. I'm looking forward to seeing you tackle another project. ;-) Btw - How long is Slo Patrol versus this boat?
Run James. Open ended financial arrangements will always bite you in the rear end. Effectively what he's getting is free labour from yourself, both managing the project and spending many hours on the refit. And you have no idea what will really happen when it's finished. You could sell Sloe Patrol and a month later he'll want to sell the finished boat for a price you can't afford, after it's yourself that's made it worth that price. Where will you live then?
Oh wow James, how exciting it sounds right up your street, can't wait to see what unfolds, good luck, looking forward to updates. Best wishes Christine x
391 very enjoyable videos later and what a journey for you James! I’m in awe of your DIY abilities, nothing seems to phase you. Seeing you with your lovely family enjoying life on the cut is heartwarming. And now the possibility of a new adventure, excellent.
What a generous proposition ! Something that needs a lot of thought, and getting legal advice too. Hope it works out well for you James, you so need this in your life, after all the hard work on 'Sloe Patrol'.
I loved the phone call, guess who, no he doesn't even have a boat now 😂😂😂 It sounds too good to be true. Someone wants to give you a narrowboat? Very generous gift. I was surprised at the age of the boat and the state of the pitting. It looked a lot to me. I would proceed with caution James but would love to see another fit out. Maybe keep some of the professionally made items (dinette etc) and just rearrange them?
Wow!!! This sounds promising. What a generous person. Doing another project is right up your alley. I am excited for you. Can’t wait to see how this pans out. Good luck 🍀 James . 🤗😌 Kathy
Sounds a interesting project but is it to good to be true it’s worth getting a survey done maybe first and all the necessary paperwork etc before moving it good luck with your project 57.
I think it should be called. "That's the plan" all the work you put into Sloe Patrol as well. Can't imagine it's going to be easy selling it 😢 but the kids will love the amount of space
Wow!! Exciting start to the new year, James! If the original fit-out was a professional job, please think twice before ripping it ALL out to replace with DIY. Maybe give the traditional layout a chance...it might work better than you imagined, be absolutely no big deal, and would save an unholy amount of stress, time and added expense. With your work ethic you could have it complete by summer if you resist taking a sledgehammer to it.
Amazing news James, I’ve loved watching you progress with Sloe Patrol to what it is today, the work you have done on the interior is beautiful, but can you imagine what you could create with 57 feet, I’d love this once in a lifetime opportunity to come along, but I’m not that lucky 😂 good luck with everything, and hope it all goes well.
Things may look up for you hope it goes well. Sounds like a good project plus it will give you more room if possible, get them to build a pram pod for it.
Exciting stuff there James. I dont reckon theres 'enough' sulphuric acid in a single battery to pose too much of an issue when its diluted with that amount of fresh water. It'll be mildly acidic if you tested it but I doubt if it would be terminal to diesel engine with all the important stuff above the water. Good luck!
That was so funny the call to ralf. Glad someone else found it funny I was I creases from that my coffee got spat out over screen it was that funny as I did not expect it
We sincerely hope this all works out for you and the other boat owner! What a kind gesture this man has made. Please get it all in writing and properly done! We couldn’t stand it if you are being hoodood 😮. Good luck James! It’s hard to make it in this world, especially with the cost of living skyrocketing! Keep up the good work! 😊
@@TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt I bet you will. Yh I’m still on blocks at nkw, but I’m in no rush. Started on the ceiling and lights, really enjoying it 👍 and besides, I’ve been waiting for you show me how it’s done 😉
James, I hate to rain on your parade, but there is so much work to be done on that boat and you have put your heart and soal into Slow Patrol and done a really nice job on it. It's a money out, even though it's a treasured boat by your friend. It's sad, but I think you should stay with your present boat even though it's size kind of cramps you. If you look further into into it get some legal protection. There is A LOT if work that needs to be done on that boat, and money is tight. Think carefully, please.
As long as you install a new ceiling, single handed and with those telescopic poles, I’ll keep watching 😂 . Good luck James, I hope the plans come together with SP2
Very exciting! Could it be the ‘Narrow Boat James Saved?’ I don’t think there are huge problems with the engine, as the air intake was above water. Only thing that could be an issue is if the acid damaged the seals and gaskets, but don’t think there was enough volume of that vs. the amount of water. While it looks ugly, the internals should be sound. There may be other issue, such as with the transmission (doubt it) or the shaft seal. Also any wiring or tubing should be replaced. Do you know if the Beta used skin fittings for cooling? This is a very interesting opportunity for you. I think you’re the man for the job!
Great news. Happy new year, again! First job, have a chat with P&S Marine, show them the footage and hopefully get them to have an up-close look. Done. Second, if that engine has only been underwater for a short time, or even quite a while, it probably looks a lot worse than it really is. Done. Third actual job, syphon out that water. Guys on other channels seem quite capable of bringing back diesels that have been sitting outside for actual decades, with relatively simple (if hard, time-wise) remedial work. And if your 'fairy godmother' is offering to fund the work, way-hey! 12:16 Great shaggy dog work. Have you got any more of your mum's tiles left over?
Bloody hell james ! I’m flipping excited for you ! Think long and hard and chat to dad ( he seems a sensible chap ) see what he says. Just cover your back, as I always say though ‘if in doubt chicken out !’ Lol I do actually say that! Could we start a go fund me thing like last time ?? Just a thought
Sounds like an interesting project James, what's Rob's take on it? Look forward to seeing it if it goes ahead as I assume a lot of the work will be done in my neck of the woods. Steve { Dudswell }
The flooded engine bay might not be as bad as it looks. The rain water will have diluted the battery acid and if the water hasn’t got inside the engine block and down the bores it could well be salvageable without too much work.
Followed you for 18 months , watched it all as it was posted , loved it so ..... house went live on market today , time to decide , buy a cheap possible renovation or a ready to go functional boat , or a sailaway 🤔
Congrats!! Depends what you want to do and can do. If you’re hopeless like me then buy a ready made finished craft especially if you have the money. If not and you fancy swearing at timber for two years then buy a sail away
@The Narrowboat that James built got a chippy ready to go m8, im a steel fabricator by day and got a sparky friend up for a new challenge ,so pretty much got it covered , got a feeling we'll bump into each other at some point , stay safe , keep up the brill channel ✌🏼
Been looking for a boat for a little while now! keep looking at new shells but probably looking for something a bit cheeper and therefore closer to how yours started! Looking at that pitting makes me wonder why boats dont have say 300mm strip of additional steel at waterline. hmmmm Recently read that ideally Anodes should be no more than 7ft apart for maximum protection… not sure myself. Just wanted to say Thanks for all your videos, Depression has really been kicking my a$$ for a couple of months now. Started watching a couple of weeks ago and loved every minute!
Mate sorry to hear about that depression - we all get it from time to time - I certainly do. I hope you manage to find something - it’s tricky that end of the market - lots of rubbish. 3 anodes per side on any boat should be fine - 2 on a dinky one. Happy hunting and glad you like the channel
@@TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt Thanks for taking the time to reply James! Life can really deal a few mouldy lemons sometimes can’t it! Heating & Electrical eng by trade so feel I could do the work, might need to learn to weld though! Edited! Not sure what happened with this reply seems I cut it short by accident doh!
@@mandycoleman1394 Yes, started at the beginning up to getting out of NKW, then I jumped about a-bit. I get a bit ahead of myself sometimes! Been watching a few build channels as I plan to build fully electric…hopefully!
@@MartynDuerden James’sChanel is really good! Another I recommend is ‘ the nomadic crobot’ ! Chris and Becca are good company and they are trying to update and fix their narrow boat! Well worth a watch i think! X
Gordon Bennett James, that is something to get your teeth into, but, please get things in writing and set in stone, incase it goes pear shaped and hurts your empty pocket. Take care.
Lots of comments! always watch you on TV , don't get to see comments. Anyway... have you done a video on ballast ? we are baffled by calculating how much we need. Do you have any useful advice?
That is a very tricky calculation indeed. This is not going to be too helpful but it depends what boat it is, what water line is advised and how much weight you’re going to be carrying. Generally the guide is to fill it as much as you can with ballast evenly
Exciting possibilities. Looks like it will be a bit of an emotional roller-coaster between now and whatever the outcome is. If a transfer of ownership can go ahead, this boat looks like could fit your needs. Any thought of doing a Go Fund Me or something along that line?
Hi James only me looking at the engine bay in that boat the water is nowhere near enough to have caused any problems other then maybe a new starter motor I have seen much worse and they have been no problem if you get it I could go and get it running for you and bring it back only take a couple of weeks you have my number give me a ring
There is a lot to consider James. A feasibility and Logistics study needs to take place, ie. Work, the movement of, two boats, 5 children. 1 car and friends. 🙂But i am with you whatever.🙂
@@IDKline In my first comment, I was simply telling James the 57 footer is 26% longer then his 42 footer. I have no idea what you are solving for. The formula is 42/57= .736842 or James boat is 74% of the length of the 57 footer. Or his gain would be 26% additional length should he buy the 57 footer. Sorry but your math is wrong.
Are You Really Sure That You Want To Take On "The Boat That James Built Volume Two" ??? Note: I did not say chapter 2,I said VOLUME as in The Second full addition of the First.. AND ALL OF THE FIRST.. And basically be unmovable again. until it is ready..........The movable part of this is what your goal was. not standing still. Not trying to talk you out of it but if the shoe fits.... I remember that at every turn it was """ when will this thing ever move""" ""i cant wait to be on the cut"" "" i'll be glad when I get this part fitted out. "" and then there is another pram hood looks like it is about the same shape"" GOOD LUCK With Your Choice James, either direction you choose..... CCHHEERRSSSSS It will all work out in the end...
I will be on the cut though, moving as normal. For a few months boat 2 may be getting work done TO her but not by me. Once she’s in the water, she be tethered to sloe patrol so I can work on her at my leisure next door to sloe patrol on the cut.

Interesting dilemma Get a Solicitor to draw up the paperwork That way everyone knows where they stand on the agreement Your blogs get more interesting every time Looking forward to the outcome
That is the best way to do things and keeps everyone honest. We had a verbal agreement with the owner of a horse and luckily for us she was an honourable person. It could have gone sideways very quickly.
I think this is the answer! Then all are on the same page and no one is scared of losing out.
Excellent suggestion.
We’ll most certainly have an agreement drawn up if it goes that far - thanks
Yes, getting the financial and legal agreements sorted and documented is so important before anything is started, ie: moving it.
I'm looking forward to seeing you tackle another project. ;-)
Btw - How long is Slo Patrol versus this boat?
Run James. Open ended financial arrangements will always bite you in the rear end. Effectively what he's getting is free labour from yourself, both managing the project and spending many hours on the refit. And you have no idea what will really happen when it's finished. You could sell Sloe Patrol and a month later he'll want to sell the finished boat for a price you can't afford, after it's yourself that's made it worth that price. Where will you live then?
Best episode you have ever uploaded, takes me back to the days you and Sloe Patrol were up at North Kilworth. Full steam ahead. Chris in Devon.
James please get everything in writing. Although sounds to good to be true. I know you are a sensible guy, so good luck and best wishes.
Battery acid in the engine bay can be treated with alkaline, use a bag of cat litter to absorbed it and prevent further acid attack
Gosh, what an opportunity--a win/win perhaps for you and the boat's owner. So exciting!
Oh wow James, how exciting it sounds right up your street, can't wait to see what unfolds, good luck, looking forward to updates. Best wishes Christine x
That phone call was effing hilarious! Lol lol😂 “He doesn’t even have a boat any more”
