They could be giving them away in cornflake packets and you'd still be dithering over whether to get one.

I agree, the market is very tight now. December 2022, I predicted big doom and gloom, maybe I was a tad premature cos jan- may have been good. The big boys at the top of the pyramid are defo feeling the pinch, Engine specials in may. Maybe the american market is on the downturn because of the interest rates.

I suspect the people who “bought” my boat in 2017 probably did. There is a reason somebody would sell you a boat for £100 even with a brand new engine, newly painted deck, new running rigging, rewired and refurbed sails.

If for any reason you want to sell your boat it really comes down to how desperate you are,giving away a perfectly sound boat May we’ll be sensible in comparison to keeping it depends on circumstances.Starting a t twenty and dropping to eight ,the boats already paid for keeping it is just added expense and worry and work.Even so I don’t thing I want to take it on for reasons various
