That sounds fun bro I want a little project for next year got my quad and my scooter but something for the water would be epic and Yh if you end up these ways we will have to link up for a joint or something going cold turkey on the drink as of today done the math I’ve spent 50 grand in 5 years on booze and I’m 22 it’s really not healthy most of that in the last three years since all the shit with the baby mum and worst part is it’s normally vodka

Sorry if there’s doubles there. I’m trying to entertain a 3 year olds nonsense brushing his teeth
That’s the boat anyway. Rough at the moment but has a running Volvo penta engine. Gas boiler and cooker work. The old ply is still in to cut fresh from templates after someone left the back end to sink forgetting to grease the stern gland
It’s an easy save anyway. Some ply, some paint, fresh worktops and cabinet doors. New upholstery. And a fair bit of isopon filler and sanding
Thinking the fore cabin for the adults. The centre cockpit to be manned by chief (our GSD) and the kids in the aft cabin. The Mrs wants bunk beds and a bit of extra space for the kids to play. Tint the windows and chuck a solar panel or 2 on the roof to maintain leisure batteries. (Also to make sure the bilge pump runs whilst we’re away)

Sounds like a lot but you’ll get it done in no time bro one of my pals used to live in a boat for like 10 years and he loved it I’d happily give my flat up to move into a barge lol

Yeah it’s a winter project bro. Just doing bits on the weekends really. A few of those will be cruising it back over our way from Macclesfield. But it should be a lovely boat when done. They command about £10k in real good shape. I paid £1200. If I keep it under £2-3k on the fit out. It can be sold on and a bigger project bought is the hope.
And yeah we took him out. The Mrs spent 3 days making a mike wazowski costume out of paper mache was cute AF TBF. He got plenty of sweets. Cue days of hyperactive sugar hangover demon pterodactyl child

And I forgot to say before. I bought the boat to be able to keep my weekends free of wanting a beer. And to tie my money up so I can’t afford to drink. Plus means we get to make some memories next summer on a jolly 
Just been and bought a second pump, a new Res wham bam tub. And 2 timer plugs. I’m gonna have a play later. And still look for a wardrobe at least 100cm wide
