N.Wood Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 I think I need a boat. For about £3000, Whats the best bang for my buck? 3 - 5m rib? Dory type open deck sucker or a tin hull? Want to use it primarily for fishing and dicking about. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 My spidey senses tell me you want one that doesn't have holes in the bottom. You're welcome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bing Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 My old man had just sold his, 20ft river/canal cruiser with a 20hp 4 stroke Honda engine on. He did fishing and stuff out of it. It's not the boat that's the pricey bit, it's the marina/mooring fees and the yearly few to the waterways board. That was about £2k on it's own in goole marina where he had it moored up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily I live within trailering distance of a few ramps and have a place to store it, also being on the sea no waterways to pay. I will have to pay launching fees and stuff but thats no problem. I also have access to a couple of moorings on the Dart if neccesary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Sailing on the sea is full of regulations and stuff you have to pass and be competent. It's not as simple as buying a boat and going sailing hsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any moron with enough money can buy a boat and sail off into the distance 100% legally. That's why, statistically, sailing is such a dangerous sport.

Tom Booth Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I couldn't decide between 'Boats n Hoes' or 'I'm on a boat!'. I went with neither in the end but wish you all the best in your purchase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
