Hi over really enjoyed your videos and the attention to detail on your boats. Can I ask why 10ft rather than the usual wider beam? Are more waterways accessible at 10Ft. Thanks
Hi Jason Looks good was thinking of doing a self build project.? Would you have any idea what kind of budget do you think it would cost for something similar to your boat
The matt black looks absolutely sick ha ha but I'm sure they will end up a different colour. Are you going to have to have to hunt around antique fairs etc for those vintage portholes do you reckon or can you buy them locally or get them on ebay?
Maybe you misheard but I think in the clip I say the old portholes are not my cup of tea as they are outrageously expensive to buy and fit. Also they really encroach into the cabin. Slimline chrome portholes for me. And yes the Matt black will be the same on my boat but it's just to get me through till next spring when I hope to complete a snazzy paint job.
Will get back to you about the boatbuilder as I will make sure he is happy to be named, it's a strange world we live in and some people can be funny. The boat will leave the builders in October as a sailaway.
You are very perceptive I think the boat in question has been built to give the boat a likeness to a Dutch Barge but on a smaller scale. I liked the look of the portholes which have been fitted and looking at the overall cost of a finished boat it is a small percentage of the project.
I was like wooow. Looks nice let’s go to first episode… 7 years ago posted … that’s a lot .😮 I’m going to watch all of them 😅
Thank you.
Look forward to watching the build progress. Good luck with it.
Cheers guys....next visit to boat builder is 21st if September.
Nice video Jason, look forward to seeing the next stages of the build
Thanks Eve...did enjoy your holiday pics on the boat last month.

10ft a bit easier to handle through the tight bridges and opening.

Hi Jason
Looks good was thinking of doing a self build project.?
Would you have any idea what kind of budget do you think it would cost for
something similar to your boat
You would be looking at a budget of 80 to 90k plus your labour to fit it out. One full year 30k.
Name of the company who built this?

Yes I did mishear you - sorry! Looking forward to seeing how it all turns out anyway
which boat builders are you using? are you getting it fully fitted or as a sailaway? look forward to more videos

The boat builder is a guy called Neil Smalley and he goes by the name of The Sailaway Boat Company.
that really long one going in the lock is that longer than 70 feet? it looks like it is.
Oh, and 57Ft - again because more access to locks or ??
Yes, 57 for some of the locks on the network.
Sizes plz plz in mt

michael mooney ...always.
Why only 10 foot wide? There isn't anything that looks like or has been built like a Dutch barge?
