Just acquired a dutch barge...
« on: December 10, 2006, 09:37:41 AM »
Hi there

As it says above, I've just acquired a dutch barge..... and haven't the foggiest what to do with it!

It's 28ft long and has been totally stripped out inside, insulated and reboarded ready for renovation.  It's just a big empty shell.

I have a couple of questions....

... does anyone have any ideas on what it's worth in it's current state?  Ballpark?

... could anyone guide me to a good renovation thread so I can pick up some ideas / tips on how to go about restoring it?   

Many thanks in advance for any help,

Fabuleuse  :)

Hi,

Need more info':

Is it welded or riveted?
What type of barge is it?
What was the year of construction?
What is the average overall condition?
Does it have a boat survey certificate?

Last but not least, take some photos and post them here.
If you are not sure how to do it, email them to me and I'll do it for you  :)
