    The money keeps flowing out..........

    Correct but being 250 miles away and so much work having been done on her, still in full time employment, the majority of time has been spent working and accepting we're not going to get out much. The console still hasn't been built so we still won't be going far 🙈

    Upper Thames

    We loved the Upper Thames, both our Freemans were well suited up there, both had marinised Ford Anglia engines put putting away like a sewing machine, very easy to work on using only a thimble full of fuel an hour. Byron, what a top bloke 🙏

    I'd happily stand you a fabulous traditional English at The Galley, the only place to go for breakfast when the sun is shining run by Brian Tuitt, ex Bad Manners drummer and his lovely lady.

    Ramsgite

    There are some great eating places within three minutes walk of the harbour. Italian, Thai, Turkish, Indian and a plethora of English food from a traditional breakfast to upmarket burgers and fine dining with a view.

    Swing Out Helm Seats

    It's expensive for a bit of welded aluminium box section as I don't think it includes the seat but I'm sure a fabricator could knock something up to your requirements.

    Hatteras 54 Anteva

    No but they were running fine about three years ago, they just couldn't shut one down remotely and had to go to the engine and stop it manually. Personally, I can't see the value in it, over the years people have only taken out of the boat and put nothing in, apart from a huge TV. Is looks...
