Being on the river soar we do occasionally go into flood. This walkway between these containers is used by the boat moorers here, so the MGM team were busy this week with this extra project around other boatyard duty’s. We added this welded walkway with waterproof anti slip deck boards. We’re really proud of this boatyard improvement. We added this solar light for the middle and will be adding another at the end. With a lovely bird box on this silver birch to support the wildlife in the surrounding nature reserve.

We have just had this lovely boat up the slip for some work. The boat has been jet washed and had two coats of ballistic blacking and eight new anodes put on. The leading edge of the ruder was undersized and an irregular shape causing it to scrape on the skeg. This was reengineered and the rudder now works and the boat handles perfectly .
The engine bay had a full makeover to with a deep steam and jet wash ,and then treated with rust treatment. A new battery tray was constructed and fitted, creating a safe place for the batteries to be secured.The engine bay and bilge has been painted with primer and then had two coats of engine paint totally transforming the engine bay and bilge area. The MGM team really enjoyed working on this boat.

Here at MGM boatyard we like to do the very best for our moorers. Last autumn we re-engineered the whole side of half the marina a huge achievement for the MGM team. The pontoons have had no attention for years and experienced two of the worst floods in over 21 years. With the love and care from the new owners this incredible achievement has been accomplished. We’re going to do achieve the other side of the moorings this coming year.
