I agree it would be good to get away from crt, but not something I'm going to be able to do for a while.

I think a lot of people feel the same way, don't leave it too long.

Interesting. But. Amateur build ferro ? For a non inland boat it is quite an appealing material it has to be said. I wouldn't let the amateur bit scare me off, it depends how well it was done. As I understand it with ferro boats the concreting needs doing in one go. as you say Kris, the plastering is the important bit and many homebuild ferro's use professional plastering teams. It is 40 years old now and if there were any major flaws in the rebar or plastering, it would probably be obvious by now. Ferro is a much maligned material, chap in Benfleet, Robbie Hart has sailed "Barbarossa" round the world on a 4 year navigation with his family plus many other long distance blue water voyages and he and his wife still live aboard it. www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=1155157

A well build ferro-cement boat can last a long time.
This boat was built by an engineer as i said in the ad : "It is a very good example of an amateur build by an engineer"
There are of course good and very good or even very bad engineers, but this looks like a well built boat in the ad.
I'm curious to see if it will get sold, and at what sort of price, as people in general aren't keen on ferro boats.
Peter.

I don't think sold prices are available.
Always been a bit intrigued by this because someone will know the sold prices. Obviously the buyer, seller and broker will know as well as any lender and possibly insurer.
Maybe you can buy the data off brokerages. Would be useful info for surveyors.

I was looking through the adverts and I spotted this. It's a working fishing boat, much loved by it's owner that has been working the Thames estuary and based in Benfleet creek for many years. The owner has always kept it up to the mark always looking smart and ready to work I have always admired it's looks, it has a lovely shape. I truly hope this goes to a good home and it does not end up butchered like so many do www.findafishingboat.com/trawler-netter/ad-105179

Btw the link you put up didn't work (for me). This one should do : www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303235988866?ul_noapp=truePeter.

I wouldn't trust eBay sold prices as far as I could throw them.
