Sorry to repeat an earlier query but so far still stuck in spite of two kind offers. Can anyone help with this?

Answer is a type of boat, ship, etc.

35. A well run business is tight.

[scorpiojo]

Could the answer be just (tight) ship?

[elliemay1]

I agree jo

[Hazlinny]

35 Iffy/ Narrowboat

[emperor]

Thanks, but I don't think so as the word tight is in the question. I have trying to work in anything to do with OIL as per "well" ?. My faith in AB and Jo especially continues!

[scorpiojo]

I meant simply "ship"?

[scorpiojo]

I'll keep pondering 

[emperor]

Thanks again to you all. The answer will not include the word Ship or Boat unless indicated, which it is not for this very elusive final clue.

[furrypusscat]

Narrowboat

[furrypusscat]

Just a wild guess but don't think is right.

 

[furrypusscat]

Sorry, hadn't seen earlier post.

Cartel  ?? -  A small boat used to negotiate between enemies

[TheWinner]

oil tanker ??? (to keep your cellar watertight, you get it "tanked").

[emperor]

Thanks thewinnner. That's the best ideas far.

[emperor]

Sorry, finger slipped. I  meant So Far!
