Is a Falcon 23 sports cruiser a good starter boat for the Norfolk Broads?

Dom and OG, spot on.

Your biggest problem is going to be fuel, there are NO petrol supplies riverside on either North or South broads
carrying cans of petrol loses its appeal very quickly !

30 year old V6 Merc = run away, never mind the rest.

So it is, the pic in post #4 was a bit of a clue

I'd still be running away though.

It looks like it is already a Broads boat, judging by the registration number. If the screens fold you might get under most of the bridges, but check the air draft. As others have said, your biggest problem is fuel. There is no petrol available near the water. It would be worth asking the current owner what they do. According to the Yarmouth Harbour website, there is petrol available on the fuel pontoon near the the harbour entrance, but this would depend on where you berth the boat.
