That's a cracking boat Dan,if you rented the house you could use that money to cover monthly fee for mooring,you already know that lol looks the life,peaceful an frugal. Greyman could you buy a wee bit of land on the canal an have your own mooring. Very interesting this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
