Higher Tolls Or More Boats?

[TheQ]

Outside of the up to 10M size, the number changes are not really much to take account of. So what we don't know is how many of the up to 10M size would have registered for the first time anyway.

Perhaps the answer is to encourage more big boats to be based on the under used Southern Broads,  nice wide and deep rivers and only go off moorings on high days and holidays.

That would create a big income boost and not over stretch the facilities.

Perhaps we could have a discount for being based down South

I can't see much point in attracting more boats up North as it is already very busy.

A slightly cynical view, but I take your point!

Who is trying to attract more boats up north?

Conversely if we wanted to pay lower tolls we’d need more boats to cover the costs.

The North is a more popular destination  than the South,  therefore a greater proportion of new boats would end up in the North.
