And dreams vanish.
Not all bad though. My chanc eto live on a boat has gpne....well for aslong as i can see, Getting my dream boat has gone, well had no chance of a Grand Banks anyway lol. But the De Groot was doable. Working for myself is gong down nill fast now as health is getting the better of me. First tiem ever i had to wlak of a job as i was in that much pain i could even carpet line a boat.
So i thought sod this i need a plan so it e, sell up all boats that is Khashoggi and the Norman project, well i mite have to do the one thing i have always disagreed with and cut it up
Me and T spoke over weeks about it and we decided best for us is to get another van to convert to a camper, as the one i have is old and i fancy a newer van.
Hey boats are not out all together though so i popped down to Essex to get this we cracker, well it is to me, few around now and look just right, love the bow and transom. Just have is it as a trailer boat for the campervan to drag about or leave moored here and there. Twin 25 or 30`s maybe and tart it up a bit and be reat.
Need to mod the trailer as winch post is all wrong and rollers etc but ill get new ones. And he threw in a new braked hitch which is good.Oh and refurb brakes although he was a decent guy tat sold it and said they are good. peace of mind and all
.
So the Boat Works is slowing down to jobs thta i can do and making GRP Helms and outboard brackets etc.
This is one i made actually for a customer. Cheated as used the original to make a mould lol
One of the boats u have had to refurb that the chap wanted anew helm doing.
All he wanted was aatrat up, in the end it was new rear deck and bulkhead, new galley top and lined it all out and made new deck cushions etc etc etc etc. now refit the windows as they are leaking lol. poor chap.
.
I reckon a few of you will know what it is ?
