i have a friend who is a brit citizen and is married to a yank. they have a board game design firm and rent from me. he is a car nut so we naturally talk a lot. he has done the canal boat in england thing and says it is fine and not too expensive if you have a bunch of folks to share costs.

guess this doesnt help the poster much.

sorry
