40s, Rascal and Gregg have it spot on - our shopping list was "25-30 feet, aft cockpit, diesel on shaft and pumpout bog for under £15k" We spent the thick end of 6 months driving between the Thames and the Ouse before we found our Bounty 27 AC at Potter. We looked at some absolute sheds - the worst was at Ely, advertised as ' well-maintained, ready to go with full history' she was on the hard and you could smell her from 20 paces and see through the rot-holes in the woodwork! Didn't even brave the ladder. No Worries has done us proud for 7 years and is ideal for the two of us and the dog. Keep searching, your boat IS out there.
