Speaking from experience Im not sure I would want another sporty boat for the Broads. Always felt it was like driving a Ferrari round a car park........and that cant be good for those big engines! Plus with the planning hull you were forever correcting the steering. I'm MUCH happier with a boat that was designed for the Broads and built on the Broads. Engine sits quite happily all day at low revs, set the rudder straight, go make a brew and its still going in a straight line!
REALLY sad news!
We hired a few times from Swancraft (Ranger, Rapier, Rhapsody) Boats were always immaculate, and customer service was always brilliant.
I HATE to see these smaller yards pull out of rentals. Good luck to all at Swancraft for whatever the future holds.
