Antares_9 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 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.

loribear Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 hey thanks for the responses...very helpful too..at work at mo..so will review later..have a good day all.. regards 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. lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 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 !! Caroline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
