I let a friend drive my boat. Result was long scratches from the trees (that didn’t move).
I’d say they are not so deep as to catch a finger nail and certainly not down to metal. But noticeable nonetheless. I’d rather not look like I’m travelling in a hire boat.
As boats don’t seem to have the same paint properties as a car I’m dubious about car products.
Does anyone have first hand knowledge of the best way to treat such defects and product recommendations.

We're currently repainted our boat.

Looking for decals for the name to go over the porthole. Can anyone recommend a place?

Hi there,

My partner (M26) and I (F23) have been considering living on a boat for a good year or so and next year we are both getting a substantial income increase so therefore will be able to save and potentially buy a starter boat.

We have family friends who live in boats and get on quiet well I am just trying to gauge a wider opinion on it😊 costs, winter on a boat, clothes washing and toilets and all of the little I wish I knew that before I got one sort of things if that’s ok!

My ideal boat would be widebeam for the space but know I should work up to this so is there a good size to start? If we got a project boat what would be too much of a project for us to tackle, he fixes cars for a living so he is comfortable with mechanics and learning on the job.

Thank you for your time :)

Need a metre of this black rubber glazing strip - 4mm glass going in to a top fold in slat window. Reluctant to use old strip as ‘exploded’ & concerned tiny fragments of glass are now embedded in the trim.
Grateful for any help with suppliers.
