We looked ...The skinny boat is at Bill Fen Marina.<br /><br />We looked at Ely a long time ago but as great as the location is we decided it was a bit on the rich side for our needs. <br /><br />I hope you have been told if you have no engine you qualify for a reduced rate of EA rip off.<br /><br />As for engine. I have nothing set in stone ATM I am researching this. Seriously considering hydraulic drive. Just getting a figure now for consideration.<br /><br />The fat boat is 60 x 12 the skinny boat is 60 x 6'10''<br /><br />KevinKev's Blog Spacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03085698297660248209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126657123312752650.post-14578975526488486122010-06-08T14:23:49.239+01:002010-06-08T14:23:49.239+01:00Hi Kev

Lots of dosh but what a brilliant location! We work in Haverhill and spend lots of time in Cambridge so it's a pretty good spot.<br /><br />The marina are ok about working on boats too. They don't care what you do as long aas you clear up after.<br /><br />Our welshie is often called a puppy or miniture airedale!<br /><br />What is the length and beam of your shell?<br /><br />What is your engine plans?<br /><br />Andrew<br /><br />P.S Yes a blog will go up soon.Navelmonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18431573860326835720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126657123312752650.post-6290645634514632092010-06-07T22:33:18.422+01:002010-06-07T22:33:18.422+01:00Hello Andrew

AS you say loadsamoney.<br /><br />Ours are Airedales. As you can imagine 2 of them on a NB is sometimes a squeeze.<br /><br />Hope you are going to do a blog.<br /><br />KevinKev's Blog Spacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03085698297660248209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126657123312752650.post-82314709514700840072010-06-07T08:33:47.861+01:002010-06-07T08:33:47.861+01:00Hi Kevin
