Dutch Barge Project

Dutch Barge Boat Project Currently in hard-standing at Springfield Marina East London. The Marina would like the boat removed after the sale, however it would be down to the new owner to negotiate this with the Marina. This project was started in approximately February 2017. Unfortunately, this beautiful Dutch Barge Project has been aborted due to the breakdown of my relationship. The boat has had extensive work to remove as much of the rust as possible.

Red Oxide was applied to the top half of the boat inside and out. Dutch Barge grease has been applied to the inside floor of the boat. As you can see in the pictures it has been completely over-plated. A recent survey suggests that in its current condition it can only be used as a non-sailable craft. The BMC engine was running however our welder burn a couple of engine hoses, which will need to be replace.

It has been very well insulated and boarded out. The top of the boat has been coated with red oxide and then undercoat has been applied. It is ready for its top coat. The fuel tank has been removed from the boat as it was deemed too small at approximately 60 litre and it also has a leak. The fuel tank is still with the boat.

Via Nova will be sold with the following; 1. The windows which have been especially made for the boat. 2. The top coat 3. Two-pack epoxy for the hull, which was ordered from SML Paints. 3. Everything that was taken off the boat during the renovation is on the boat i.e the wheel, drive chains, boat furniture etc. 4.

One new door has been made and is already on the boat and the other door still needs to be made. I have included some old picture so that potential buyers, can see the amount of work that has been put into the project. This boat will be sold as seen. As with all boat, it is highly recommended that a new buyer should get their own survey done.
