Hello everyone ?
thanks for adding me to this forum, this is my first message.
Me and the Hubby are looking at buying a power cabin cruiser we have looked at a few not sure what we want apart from a few specifications which is for holidaying on and we are both over 6 feet tall.
We want Diesel
probably around a 30 footer as they seem to have better headroom (don't want concussion) ?
we are only looking at river usage at the moment (no coastal until I am braver and know what I am doing)
looking at probably keeping it on the Norfolk Broads but were going to buy it from elsewhere but sail it to the Broads (but then discovered it might not fit width ways on some rivers/canals or under some bridges (Oh poo!)
didn't think of that bit. Yes I know we can have it transported but wanted to sail it to the broads, then also discovered NO connecting river systems without going out to sea 
(double poo!)
Didn't know there was so much to think about. now discovered that there are a good few low bridges in the broads so the boat may not fit under them (we really like the Princess DS32) mmmmm quite tall.
Is there an easy to use website/app that you can put in steer boat from point A to Point B (adding in measurements of your boat) and it will tell you a route avoiding low and narrow bits?
I tried Canal Plan which I found quite hard to use but that is the web site that told me I was too tall and too fat to travel from A to B GRrrrrrrr! Also to research the Broads to know where the low bridges are as they might be in silly little channels that I wouldn't go down anyway.
