COMMENTS

Have only recently acquired Schnufty and am still working out what needs doing but I have already ordered new washable covers for the seats (not cheap I must say) but this will hopefully bring the interior up to a standard which my family (wife and two boys 7 & 11) would contemplate staying the night ! Other than that she is in pretty good shape with original gel coat to hull and topsides. Being ex-caravaners we are used to slightly better washing/toilet facilities so I need to think about improving the rather small space in which the portapotti sits. My wife suggested converting the aft cabin into some sort of luxury bathroom but I would rather keep this for the boys bedroom. I may also look at doing something with the rather drab dark wood effect formica finishes which will probably look worse when the new seat covers are fitted. Being in Norfolk we have her on the Broads, looking rather skinny compared with the neighbouring wider beam cruisers  but she was originally on the Thames at Henley. (Not sure how she got to Norfolk).
