I'd bring it back down to the thames. It needs to mix it with the expensive splitters Yes it would be lovely on the River where it belongs. I wonder what its like in rough water like down the tideway? That stern seating Fe looks a little bit prone to swamping. I realise you mean Henley etc so would not be a big problem but would be nice to be able to do Thames Barrier trips etc I think shes got quite a high freeboard so should would be fine execpt in a following sea but no one likes that. I'd be happy to take her round to the medway or even further if the weather was suitable. Its not easy to see on the pics but the rear door does have a lip on the bottom but only a small one, and the deck must drain to somewhere.

By the time you've talked yourself into it, it'll have gone and you will be kicking yourself.

Please add links or details of any interesting or unusual boats you know of for sale. I've seen a similar thread in another place and it seemed to be quite a lively and popular subject. As I live aboard with woman and two children I tend to look at boats with some internal volume but still manageable single handed with no crew. I rather like is this : www.londontideway.com/boats-knottingley.htmlQuite nice

Its this boat but the photo is about 15 years ago !!

Nice, any pics of it in its original design? Not quite sure what she is a copy of - she's modern (c1996). Years ago (about 1990) I saw a very similar boat with upswept stern at Denham on the GU. It was an old riveted launch looked like a tug. Other than that only similar boats I have noticed have been more modern.
