It seems to avoid the need for a half tunnel or anti ventilation plate but I think a lot of the older ones have the latter items. I would be interested in excuses for the excessive gap between stern gland and prop. Maybe something as simple as engine not in yet. You see that a little bit of further thinking can find the answer(s) to your own question(s). Peter.

For lovers of really nicely shaped boats, here is the sales brochure of the Klipper barge a good friend of mine built for himself after he'd sold his boatyard to one of his ex-workers. In his yard sales deal was written that he was allowed to build himself his new boat in the building hall. Normally today the papers for the sale of his beautiful barge will be signed, and the buyer will get a spotlessly maintain and quite an exceptionnal barge in exchange for their money. To bad that the asking price was exactly the asking price value above my available budget, if not I would have been it's lucky new owner . www.doevemakelaar.nl/en/schip/902/klipper-stijl-varend-woonschip-22-00-met-cbbPeter.

Yes but it's not the answer is it. The engine is already in there.

No forward visibility on that one sorry. On the positive side the broker has added 63 pictures of the boat to their website. It's actually not a bad boat to be fair.

What a lovely boat, but unfortunately its another one out of my price range.

gorgeous boat Peter. If they moved the decimal point a bit to the left in the price I might make an offer ....... but I won't hold my breath It's too bad that it's always that bloody money that makes the realisation of our (boat) dreams so difficult. In my case they would have to move the decimal point a bit more than a bit to the left, leaving only 3 numbers in front. I could have had the boat a bit cheaper in a direct sale between the seller and me, as we can show the broker that we are long date friends, and not just a client that showed up because of their ad, and then tried to screw the broker. But as I didn't make him my offer with only 3 numbers in front of the decimal point, and I doubt that he would have accepted that offer, even while being long date friends. Now it's too late anyway, as the boat has a new lucky owner already. Never mind, life go's on as before, just dreaming. Peter.

Hello all, was just doing a bit of a google search for window inspiration and a pic i clicked on brought me to this thread. Then i spotted a picture of me on my shabby old barge whilst moving it from Northwich to its current resting place at Bingley! For those that are interested its a Skutsje which was built in 1913 in Kootstertille in Friesland. Ive just recently started the renovation. Will post some pictures once i start to see some visible progress, currently taking the bilge back to bare metal and treating then raising the roof slightly.

Hi and welcome Skutsje are nice boats. My cousin owns a very nice example. They bought it cheap from Holland and her bloke did a good refurb and paint job on it over here. It's a lovely boat. Not much headroom at all but very pretty. I can understand why people raise the top however that does want doing very carefully to avoid spoiling the lines of the boat. This is the one my cousin lives on (Not my photo just a Google image search)

That sounds like an interesting project Matt, I would love to know more details and the history of your boat, if you know about that. www.skutsjehistorie.nl/scheepsbouw.php?id=73Your Skutsje was most likely built by the " van der Werf" yard, of which you can read the history here, sadly only in Dutch, but Google can do the translation for you. The Google translation doesn't always translate very good if it's something technical, but you'll get at least already a better idea of the story, unless you're familiar with the very strange Dutch language. Good luck, and let us hear more please, Peter.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Like I said I'll post pics as I go along but it's gonna be a slow process. Plan to raise the roof between 150 and 200mm. Can stand up throughout the cabin area (5ft 10in) but only just, so once the floor is in and the roof lined it would be too low. Trying to add as little as possible to not ruin the lines. Leaving the foredeck as it is
