Some boating questions!
Hi.
I'm new to boating with the only exception being some previous experience a few years ago on a smallish speed boat type vessel - StingRay?? All I remember is that the engine was 3.0L. I am intending to purchase a boat over the next few months ready for the 2006 season, I have a budget of around =A310,000 ukp ($17,000 usd) to purchase the boat. I've spent some time on the various boat sales websites based in the United Kingdom, and have found a few models which meet my criteria, mainly these are the Fletcher 210 (21') and the Sunseeker Mexico (23-26'), both avaliable with the Mercruiser 350 V8 engine and of 1989 - 1995 vintage. My criteria, apart from my budget, is for something that can be fairly fast if I want it to be; but is quite happy to cruise around most of the time at lowish speeeds, something with a 'cuddy' style cabin with a portable toilet/kitchen facilities and with the ability to take up to 4/5 people comfortably for an afternoon of leisure and sunbathing and something which looks reasonably modern and sporty. I would apreciate any views on the above two boats and in addition recomendations for other boats (or any advice you can give to a boat newbie!) |
