just popping my head over the parapit,to see if the coast is clear.??.... have a question i would like to ask........ O.K
i have now spent the best part of 2 wks travelling and looking at boats (at this rate all savings will be spent ) have found some nice boats that i have been told would be suitable for coastal work around Swansea & Bristol channel ,but the engine size and relative performance have varied tremendously from 40hp inboard diesel to much larger twin petrol engines all on boats around 23o27ft, all i would like is something around the size mentioned ,that will be capable of 12/14 knots cruising,
realistically what sort of engine size should i be aiming for ? and what sort of hull? displacement hull is out i know, so what do you all think?
