Would I be able to build a music studio on my boat? That’s my only issue, an office.

A mate of mine at uni did this 20 years ago. He actually made money on it and paid a good chunk of his student loan back! Good on you

crafty sister :
didnt you have to pay for it to be taken out the water too? I paid £1k for lift/survey... maybe need to go into license fees, insurance, blacking costs, maintenence etc. its not just buying a boat..

Not a good deal with overplating. metal still rots from within the ply of the metal. but 16k is very cheap.

Over plating is end of life as you can't plate it again 😏

It’s a strategy I use for buying and selling boats, I can share it now because I won’t do it anymore. But coming up to end of tax year the marinas want to spend money to sell an old boat, so I found a 65ft boat for 29k for my mum, that I as a marine welder would need plating front to back, the marinas eyes lit up and did 36k of work on it😂 so it only cost them a rusty boat and 6 grand to write off. 40 ish grand of tax🤣 it’s an amazing boat, I renovated it for her and it’s easily the best boat on our river, even won an award against a new wide beam.

It’s a 1980s Springer Engineering boat that was built to be as cheap as possible back in the day. They weren’t very pretty by comparison and therefore most didn’t get looked after properly and corroded. But some did and many have way outlasted their intended lifespan. Make sure it’s taken out and blacked to a good standard every year 👍🏼

not able to judge if you had good deal. heating shower kitchen. most important is mooring costs . life on boat is good you must look at all the day to day running costs.
