New Boat Advice

[Breaker]

Hi all,

Firstly I'm new to the site and would like to say thank you for having me here.

My wife and myself have previously owned an 16 foot speed boat and then a 570 Shetland after (which I totally rebuilt). We are now ready to purchase a new boat. We are looking for something up to 32 feet long, preferably diesel, single or twin engine, min of 2 berths, a small galley, roomy(ish) seating area, sound handling and capable of going offshore. We would also like all the whole cabin area to be fully enclosed with a small outside seating area, our budget is around £45k, can anyone throw some ideas our way what is out there, we have looked at a Sealine 305 Ex but would like to look at other similar boats.

Thanks in advance

When you say the whole cabin area enclosed, things that aren't enclosed aren't in the cabin. Or do you mean a fly bridge style boat where the saloon cabin is at deck level?

There was a very nice looking Fairline Cornich on eBay a while ago for well below your budget which would be worth a look at

Still listed - here is the link Look at this on eBay:

Hi White Lighter, thanks for your reply, I'm mean the Flybridge style cruisers, we're not too bothered about the Flybridge itself but that is the 'enclosed' cabin style we are after.
I will check out the Fairline Cornice on the bay, thanks. :encouragement:
