Sorry and all that but I'd be very cautious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, used the search box after posting and comments found weren`t encouraging tbh so think I`ll give it a miss. 27 minutes ago, vanessan said: Any idea what the air draft is on that? Can`t find that info, pretty high I`d say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VetChugger Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 All I have ever read about Storboro boats has been very positive and they do hold value well and quite a high one as well. Chunky Scandanavian built boats with high quality interior woodwork. A lot seemed more suited to coastal use and the Thames though being twin engined. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only seen a few pictures online however the interior woodmanship looks top notch, agree about coastal use which is not my agenda so despite it being a third of the asking price compared to others currently advertised I guess it is best if I pass.

Lastdraft Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I owned one for several years, wood topsides GRP hull, the wood maintenance became too much like hard work as mentioned on a recent post. They are very well built with quality interior wood finish. Twin engines provided more than enough power, air draft 9’6”. I have owned several boats but the Storebro Royal the best by far. Attached a pic a couple of years ago, leaving Gt Yarmouth harbour............ we weren’t out very long ! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
