@jadp there is certainly an alure with older craft, we're lucky on the local waterways that trade still just about exists so you can get more modern versions.
When I was speaking with the seller he made a very good point I feel about the older boats though, in that we're not really owners, we will invest more money into them than they are ever worth, but we're custodians for future generations, so our kids and theirs can see a bit, hopefully, of living history on our reasonably unique local waterways.
