Re: Idiot Factor

Sadly I see a large dose of the 'idiot factor' factor creeping into what was a great forum - doubt it - then read cheapskate - if you have all day.

Hi.. I purchased a Norman 18 last year with a 40hp Yamaha outboard and a 4.5 hp auxillary Mariner for £2K with a new Safety Certificate and Trailor.
I spent 6 months of weekends cleaning her up and had the main outboard overhauled but am now having alot of fun on the River Blackwater.
I have gone to the expense of a pontoon mooring at a marina but its a nice luxuary.
The blackwater gets a bit choppy so im not sure how strong the boat is but it is fun all the same.
What i would like are some suggestions for a modest upgrade as i'd like a bit more space. Ive considered a Shetland 32 Black Prince with a 150 hp Turbo Diesel. I would like to go coastal cruising. Any ideas?
