If you search this forum for flood defence you should turn up a good bit of information. There was a thread and some photos a few weeks back of similar work on the Ant.

Get her onside, do this by making her feel useful, or better still vital to the project. Make out you need her advice on soft furnishings, curtains etc. Get her to look at one or two absolute horrors first, mouldy, smelly damp etc, then hit her with the donkeys dooleys. Make sure she realises how great the boat would be for her to enjoy her favourite passtimes. Does she read, reading on the back of a boat watching the river go by is great. It could be knitting, sewing, husband bashing - all are better on the back of a boat. Does she like the odd GandT, nowehere better to enjoy one than on the river with the sun dropping to the horizon. Dont try and sell her on the boat, sell her on THE DREAM ...... Or was the intention to buy it and bu88er off every weekend, leaving the good lady behind, which may of course be a top selling point in itself.

Engine all serviced etc - I think there are a couple of service jobs to be sorted longterm but nothing major. (Note - I was cheeky and placed a new Beta Marine engine brochure in your boat just for you to read sometime!!) ;p We do hope you will be very pleased with the end result. Also we couldnt get any noise from the horn! even direct to a battery, so we replaced this. Did it ever work?? See you tomorrow, around lunch time would be good??

Lyns and hired the Breakaway from Barnes for a long weekend last October and found it to be really nice. However, we saw the Sonatas from there and thought they looked even better, which is why we are looking for one available again in October this year.
