Bella vs Aquador vs others

[mike_d]

Looking to take my first step into boat ownership and currently drawn towards an Aquador or Bella as something having the right size of space inside, being a good family cruiser and capable on coastal waters. Does anyone have experience of these boats, the various engine options therein or something else I should be looking at?

Thanks
Mike

We sell Aquador and in all the sub 28ft they are pretty shallow V and slam a bit in any chop, bearing in mind they are used mainly on lakes in Finland. The bigger models with shafts are more seaworthy, Bella are very popular here in Norways coastal waters. Both usually come with Volvo diesel inboards D3/4/6.
Aquador have a very high gloss interior and lots of bare white GRP, a case of personal taste, Bella have a bit more run of the mill interior.

Have you considered a Nimbus?. I have my 2009 Nimbus Nova 27s with a D4 260 up for sale, and advertised on a well known website.
PM me your email address and i will send you details.

Both very popular boats up here as well but unfortunately I have very little first hand experience of either marque.

If your budget stretches, have also a look at the Finnmasters/Grandezzas as they are held in very high regard.
