does look unusually clean! afew new hoses by the looks too.. unless some one has done a bit of steam cleaning.
The maderias had a centre cockpit, and the elysian a rear cock pit as far as my knowledge goes!

Not strictly true, there is an aft cockpit Medira that is identical to the Elysian.

as for the engine, it might be a 4.107, not sure.

fair enough, i've only seen the centre cockpit ones as there are two on our stretch of river, both a shade of light green!

I saw one that colour for sale, but just couldn't face having a boat that colour. Shocked

Yeh i didnt fancy one that colour! Soul muzik was blue and that was a bugger to keep polished as it had faded and started to 'bloom' so it would go a bit white after a while.
Need to Polish Fairhaven, she has been a bit neglected lately!
What with Tom moving to a two man business! and trying to get more contacts!

It's a 4.108 I think. (At least it says it is!)

Had a good shufty at it this afternoon whlst at Sawley. There looks to be very little to do, apart from a lick of paint on the decks!!

Are you getting ALL the stuff that's advertised on the windows? Cos it's well kitted out!!

Wasn't the 4.108 fitted into the series 1 & 2 Land Rover?

(was very tempted to put a sticker on it saying "Victor Swift was 'ere!" )

I don't know if I'm getting the Teddy bear, the rest of it, yup Smile

I have a list if things that I want to do to it as long as your arm. Survey is on Wednesday, then 2 days to digest, then pay up on sat.

It's too nice a boat to have to burn. Twisted Evil

Excellent!! In water, or dry survey?

Saturday won't come quick enough!!

Full out of water survey, as at 30 odd years old osmosis is a concern.

I've also got to get a marine mechanic to talk be round all the various enginey bits n bobs, as this will be my first inboard powered boat.

we had to pull out. a real shame, she's a lovely boat, but we want one that doesn't need 5 grands worth of work. anyway see elsewhere for the next possible purchase.

Please some, buy Charisma, and get the delamination sorted, she's worth it.
