Welcome Gio, Freeman or Norman will make a decent cheap starter boat if you get a decent one, watch out for clapped outboards and leaking windows, Shetland are another boat you might like to look at.

If you want to research Normans you could do a lot worse than have a look at Trevor of this parishes site, there is also a good Freeman owners club site and a Shetland owners club site.

hey thanks for the responses...very helpful too..at work at mo..so will review later..have a good day all.. regards

:wave hi giogio, welcome to our forum i'm sure you'll enjoy it, i know you feel i too live up there in chessy, & the canals don't do it for me either , my parents used to come down to norfolk regulary when i was a youngster, then my dad had a boat at lincoln, it was nice but not the same as the broads, that's where my true heart lies. :love lori

It sometimes seems that we want the opposite to what we have.............I love the canals and I live by the Boards.........I should like to swap, please !!
