Daft so and so, that'll need at least 2 outboards! Try this one:

HOHWACHT comes with it's own engines, twin screw and aluminium hulled over steel frames and is fairly quick. Perhaps a trifle big for the Macclesfield Canal but will probably fit on the Humber or Thames but might be a bit juicy to run.

The cost of boating is insignificant compared to costs of a young wife and two teenage kids!

That's quite tasty.... I can't work out what kind of engines... are they gas turbines...?

I won't be bidding ... in answer to my question he says the beam is too wide for the Ashby Canal ... sadly.

Give a man a fish and he'll feed his family for a day. Teach a man to fish ... and he'll sit in a boat drinking beer all day. Hic!
