Best Motor Cruiser for under 50k

For £50k? Not sure they exist in any decent condition. I love them since we berthed next to one at our last marina, lovely machine, the one next to us sold at £99k and it was a 2006 model…

T29 or S28?

They both used to be very much in the £50 or under category, although I did acknowledge that with current inflated prices they may no longer be.

Spend a day on the interweb discovering whats available, if its any good it will have already been sold and if its still available there is something wrong with it. :)
Even stuff with daft prices eventually sells.
Suggestions are fine but all you will get is what people think they would buy.
What you might have settled for or put up with on a previous boat is history.
Get in the car over a weekend and go and look and anything and everything that catches your eye.
You might just find that something you once would not have even considered, might just be the boat this time round. ?
As you progress up the boat ladder comfort, space and stability tends to trump transitory things such as knots and Look -at-me -bling.

I completely agree…….but my own personal bias is don’t ignore Nimbus, they make fabulous family motorboats and have a Scandinavian quality about them, yes I had one twenty five years ago..….,

Nimbus 3003 1989 - Offshore Powerboats
 
Remember don’t just look at boats at 50 k when I bought my last boat from a dealer I offered 40 k less than asking , it was rejected but after more talks I saved over 20k that was in 2018 though.
 
Just so you know the boat link I posted previously was nothing to do with me and I am not selling any boats. Sorry if you thought it was which got me a temp ban for spamming.

Are you really trying to say it was my boat. I join the forum, read some posts, thing I am being helpful posting a link to a boat that might match the posters criteria and I get banned. I come back on and get a comment like this.
I have been in boating for 5 years, first boat being a Merry Fisher 725 and recently traded it in for an Merry Fisher 895 and have never put a boat up for sale in my life.

Phantomfil - This forum really needs to give a bit more slack to new users unless the intention is to put them off using it.

There is also a side of the forum that like a laugh , if you would like an apology . Yes I am joking again . But you have been a member fo 4 years posted 5 times and three was about selling a boat , what does it look like . Please stay on the forum and start some threads . Ps did you sell the boat.
 
Ok fair enough, I just thought I had rubbed people up the wrong way which wasn't my intention and no apology needed.

Yes I remember joining a while ago and then work was so busy I actually forgot my login details. I love having a boat and being out on the water and yes I will start some threads.

Hi, looking for a motor cruiser for family fun. 50k budget. Would use mostly for day trips (4 kids and dog) and the occasional weekend alway (just the two of us). Had a share in a Targa 34 in the past and 11m was a nice size.

Not in any rush and would love to hear peoples personal views on what they would go for. Especially interested in the cost effectiveness of a 25 year old larger vessel verses spending more on a newer, smaller boat with outboard.

Are you still looking for a boat - slightly more than your budget.
