We got Blue Belle end of last year, she was in poor condition. She had been closed up for 4 years, there was a lot of water inside, the outside was very green. We have taken out all the windows and replaced the seals, put in a new floor, refaced the wood inside work with laminate. I have given the out side a paint, the hull has only had the stripes repainted as we haven't taken her out the water yet, may do this summer. The outboard laid in the cockpit, had no prop also had not been run for years, we put it on the back and with a bit of work it started and now runs very well. The canopy was falling to pieces so we decided to build a hard top, we have got the top on and now waiting for the curtains to round. She is moored in Earith, Cambs, so we are on the Great Ouse.
