Bogart

Sounds a prudent bit of business.

My all these welcomes.

Never knew there was a club at Haversham.

My my I wonder what they said?

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome.

Ey up. Up the Town, that is Huddersfield Town of course.

Nice to be wanted thank you. Dinghy sailed on Caldecotte lake many years ago.

Being a newbie interested in your statement of 46feet. Surely at 46 feet the height is too much for the vast majority of bridges?

Might just be me.

How kind.

Oh I can act dumb, comes quite naturally.

Save myself some brass then if I went the new boat route then and kept it basic.

I would have thought an indication of speed would be handy so as not to break the speed limits.

Least one can do.

Yes I know boat wanted is a bit of vague and loose ask. To be more specific what I am looking for is a cruiser of around 30feet capable of going under the vast majority of bridges. There are certain requirements such as minimum 4 berth, be nice to have double that could be made up and left like that without getting in the way of day to day operations. I am not after a renovation project , as I have enough of these going on as it is. Have caravanned in the past and see the boat I want as like a caravan minus wheels. Age is not a great concern if she looks nice and has a few mod cons. If something came along bigger than 30feet I would not dismiss it out of hand. I know a lot of this is still a bit vague but I have to start somewhere. Price I would say can be up to £60k more if warranted.

Being Mr Newbie hope this is correct section to post this. In the market for a boat, new or used as yet undecided. One question I have as regards new boats is the pricing of add ons. Not naming the manufacturer but I have prices for add ons that look to me way more than the sum of the constituents. For example of a 30ft boat to add GPS, speed and depth is approx £700. Now looking up what parts are needed to arrive at this with identical units they total around half. Am I just being tight fisted in my views?

Suppose as am a new member only courteous to say hello, so Hello Looking for a boat for Broads usage around 30 ft maximum. I have feelers out for new and old I will post a question regarding add ons for new boats and their pricing soon.
