Richardsons Bargains 2017 End Of Season Boats

[Springsong]

Quite definitely Acle an d quite definitely a Powles Craft. 

I holidayed on a Caribbean ONCE,  my father took my wife and the

kids on holiday, he paid so he chose. The saving grace was 

Guinness had recently bought F.B. Wilds and the fridge had a fair

amount of product placement.

In our family the "Bathtubs" are known as "Busboats", never actually been out on the river in one but nosed around a couple in NYA a few years back and to be honest I would quite like to try one just to see what its like. I quite fancy trying a tall flybridge job as well though..

Apart from holidaying on the broads many many times in my 50 years , I know very little about boats . In the same sense as I know very little about cars despite spending my last 30 years attached to one kind of vehicle or another . 

What I mean is , I don't have the expertise to fix or maintain them . I have no idea what's involved , and though I have a manual/ building site ( electrician ) background , so I can use tools and have certain skills in that department. I can only imagine owning a boat ( especially one which could find its own way around the rivers!!!) is very time and money heavy.

However, if I were to ever follow my dream and own a boat on the broads , I can see the sense in  buying one from  a yard such as yours , you are buying a craft which has been look after all it's days . There certainly seems like value for money in the boats you advertise for sale . 

Maybe one day , my numbers will come up, and I will fulfil my dream . In the meantime , good luck on the sales , and I hope whoever buys them has many a happy year cruising around , and realises how lucky they are.

Richard,

Please be careful of the chair. My mother fell asleep in her's with her hand on the button and it tipped her straight into the fireplace.

I have got to ask, how is your Mum please.   That is a nasty gash, bless her.

Similar value to your RIB but I'm not sure the crane could handle it.

It is a bargain for sure, the 740 is a great little boat

This was my introduction to the broads mid 80s outside the kings head wroxham and yes its a Richardson's boat , from memory about 40' and the index number looks to be E 11 , so there's a challenge for someone identifying her she might still be around who knows .

I thought that had been established that it was acle bridge not wroxham just as it was established that it was a 40' powles not a 35' one as another member presumed .

I still maintain that its not taken from the bridge inn as I'm sure in the background there is one of bridge crafts sheds .

Mine can't be its a photo of a photo hence this rubbish quality  , still I would love to know if know if she's still around , that boat and that holiday and previous ones are largely responsible for me being here now

In the days before digital......more than once when taking the cheaper option of Kodak some lab has reversed my pictures.

Now if that is one of the Waveney Princess class (later the Aston Cairn class) one of the four definately still exists as I have mentioned elsewhere at times...

 

And if its the shorter Waveney/Broadland Lion class we have one of those as well... lol. Sorry about the second picture, its all I have with me!

well going by the fact the steering is on the port side, the image isnt reversed then.

That has got the look of an aft cockpit Ormelite to me. My youngest lad had one on the river Nene. We replaced the 2cyl Stuart Turner with a nice little D722 Kubota.
