Just like RVers doing a remodel on their rigs. My brother tried to go the live on a boat thing back in the mid 70s but in N. Gerogia USA it gets cold down to the 0c and below then add the humidity he didn't last a full year and he was a 6 year Navy man! I can only imagine what it's like in the Uk! If you have leaks in the roof how about using RV (caravan) roofing sealer type of paint? Made for roofs. But she's looking sweet! And hopefully I'll be getting a nice RV soon and as usual might have to do some work on it that if lucky my sad editing skills (you can tell looking at my channel) might come out!! Blue skies and safe journeys!!

Haha, another one who was initially hooked by the Broads! Ever since I was about 10, I've been determined to live on a boat on the Broads. 30 years later, and that plan is a bit less than practical, but I have a little cruiser on the canal here in Stoke on Trent, and while I don't live on it, am loving the canal life whenever I get a spare weekend!

It's difficult to advise. I would recommend something that is structurally sound over what it cosmetically like. Also bigger isn't always better, get a boat that is the right size for your needs. If you've never lived on one try hiring one for a week or two to see if you like it. Good luck
