Good to see a forum just for the thames. We are currentley in the process of saving for our first ever boat, and if all goes to plan, we should be looking to buy in June next year.
Have spent the last year constantly visiting the thames and its marinas, looking to see what sort of boat we want and have narrowed it down to something like a sealine 255 or fairline carrera (anyone got anything similar for the thames).
just a few questions if anyone can offer any advice and tips
1. looking to moor at somewhere like harleyford or bray, do most people leave boats in the water over winter, or is it cheaper and better to get the boat lifted and put on a hard standing.
2. Can only afford a petrol boat - will this be easily available along the thames? (just how much fuel (£) would one expect to use on a weekend cruising?)
