I'm between boats at the moment (in user name and real life), having had a hiatus for a few years.
I've seen the question come up a few times on the forum, while searching but I'm keen to get the latest view.
I have £100k cash in the bank. I want to buy the best 40ft+ boat I can. All of my experience has been with shaft driven boats, so I would prefer to stay shaft driven. Oh, and I want it to be a sports cruiser.
I've been having a look for a couple of years, just browsing, seeing where the market it is, but now I'm going to get serious and start looking at some boats.
Here's the nub of my question... A couple of boats that interest me have been on the market for 2 years, at the £150k level. Am I wasting my time and everybody else's if I try to get such a boat for my £100k budget?
Would welcome your thoughts before I get serious about buying
