hello everyone, im thinking of buying a small 23-27 foot river/canal
boat
but i need some advise as i am new to this recreation
where can i store my boat when not in use?
can i leave it at a mooring on the canal/river safely or do i need to
take it out the water?
i know i have to use slipways but are there any lists of where to find
them?
and what are the costs involve in boating apart from the boat of
course?
any help and advise would be appreciated.
i am new to this so please dont think im being a doughnut.
im just gathering info and help
thanks.............


I would talk to narrow boat operators in your area. Maybe cheaper to rent
for your trips than buy and store. The locals will have info on the local
costs of operation.
