[Which Boat Best For Me?.]

I know a nice Calypso 28 for sale for less than half your budget,  and it gets under Potter bridge more often than a lot of boats.

Thanks for replying, that is the sort of boat I first started looking at, then I read a thread somewhere about seeing nowt but the reeds and missing out on the beauty of the broads so started looking at other styles - Did I misread the point about the view?

Welcome to the forum, my question how much do you know about the broads?as for boats I would suggest you check NYA and NBS.you can check on line there are also other sites that offer boats for sale.

Not a lot tbh, willing to met anybody for a coffee/ beer for a lesson 

Pretty sure I`ve exhausted the list of where to look hence the tailspin but thanks for those

[North & South, Where Is The Line?]

Might be a stupid newbie question however having read about the north and the south of the broads roughly where does one start and the other end?

TIA.

[Which Boat Best For Me?.]

Hi,

Need help from experianced members selecting my first boat for use on the broads which is a lot harder than choosing one for a canal or a new car  

Thinking around 32 - 36ft for broads use only, no intention of sea use at this stage with budget of around 40k, generally one person but neeeds to sleep 4 from time to time. Aim to spend large portion of the year onboard so more live onboard than weekend visits, holding tank/ pumpout rather than camping toilet with inboard rather than outboard engine. Something where I can see more than the reeds (taken from another thread so feel free to put me right on this topic) but with an airdraft low enough for most bridges.

So far I have considered Alpha, Aquafibre, Broom, Hampton, DC30, Bounty, Caribbean, Connoisseur, Viking, and a Storebro 34 Royal. I haven`t discounted any but the more I look the more I go into a tailspin 

All help gratefully received.

Opps

That should of been a new post rather than hijacking an existing thread, these differnt forums take some getting used too

Could a mod please move it for me? TIA

Lulu, thanks for the welcome and thinking probably best if I address that in a new topic thread.

[Hello]

Hi, been lurking and reading the forum for awhile and thought it was about time I introduced myself.

I am new to the broads but have spent time on sisters canal boat on the Leeds- Liverpool canal so not a total novice to watercraft and same sister used to live in Norwich where my liking for the area started. So many years later having taken early retirement I am finally here and looking for my own boat so there will be cry`s of "Help and what would you do?" to come I`m afraid for which I thank you in advance.

Must say it seems nicer here than some of the plumbers forums I am a member of.
