We can <b>invest £90k</b> in a canal boat. <br />
e.g this <a href="http://www.bwml.co.uk/marinas/limehouse_marina/brokerage/lm_9041_probably" target="_blank">http://www.bwml.co.uk/marinas/limehouse_marina/brokerage/lm_9041_probably</a> <br />

And could make <b>£1k per week</b> renting it out for holiday cruises. <br />
A quick check on

<h3>Notes</h3>
<sup id="fn1">1. The last available slot for 2014 is November 7th.
<em>Aparently</em> people don't tend to want to spend winter holidays in a canal boat because the canal can be frozen... so Nov-March are the quiet/dead months</sup>
