Hi all,

I am to begin building a motor cruiser soon, just have to make a final
choice between a couple of plans I have been looking at. I live in the UK.
My question is about what to do when you have completed a boat. I presume I
need to get a safety certificate before I can launch the boat ? Is there
other procedures I need to follow aswell ? I want to get an idea of what
things I need to do when I have a completed boat and how much to allow for
them in my budget.

Any advice or pointers to suitable reading material on such things would be
appreciated. It will be my first boat so I am a little green regarding these
matters.

many thnx,

Adrian.
