Boat Sold!!!

[BruceK]

What Admiral wants, Admiral gets. Or you get none and none. C'est la vie

[sprocker]

but the Admiral wants sports boat looks and wizzy entertaining bits.

And therin lies the problem Ian! I would be perfectly happy with a Nimbus..........but SWMBO doesnt think it is nearly 'sporty' enough.

Did i see correctly, is it your Birthday today Sprocker?
Happy Birthday if so.. If i saw incorrectly, i'll just get back to the bottle...

[sprocker]

Yes it was my birthday Stu, but get back to the bottle anyway.

[sprocker]

Well it's all complete. Sea trial, money transfer, bill of sale completed, loaded onto trailer and on her way to her new home.

So now the serious search begins..........

[BruceK]

And very good luck and happy boat hunting to you. It's a stressful time filled with lots of disappointment and wasted journeys should you be looking in the 2nd hand market but if you're patient and persevere you do find gems.

[sprocker]

Thanks Bruce. We will be looking used, and have taken on board (Excuse the pun) your previous advice about diesel etc.

[BruceK]

Bloody hell, but I do bang on at times. Now only if the wife and kids would come round to my way of thinking I would be a happy man

I see you are interested in S28's
We missed that size and wet from a S23 to a F33 , and pleased we did - it has transformed to comfort factor of our boating.
Twin engines does of course double the cost of fuel and service but the boat can be controlled much more easily - bow thruster too.

I do like the s28 but there do seem to be a lot of well worn examples. Good luck with
This one looks okay

or perhaps consider an older model such as this 310 - it has ad31's so no rocket ship so perhaps price negotiable

I'm glad I'm not the only advocate saying go to 10m. You know it makes sense
