Small motor boat?

[MStuart]

See Saga 26 HT
I know it's sold...

The advert says River & Estuary. Firth of Clyde in fair weather? One engine & prop.... Could an outboard bracket be fitted for emergency use? Slung over the side amidships?
Bits of cloth on a stick even?
Needs to have reasonable sea-keeping qualities - but don't intend crossing the Atlantic!

Anything better of similar size? Sea keeping important to avoid family seasickness...

Sea keeping doesn't mean comfortable, no hull design will avoid seas sickness. Only the prevailing conditions at the time. Yes, you can fit an outboard bracket.

I’ve done many cross channel trips in a single engine boat. A spare engine is more hassle than it’s worth. Especially if your main engine is diesel.

Thanks both. I'm trying to find reasons not to buy one!!!!!

You’ve come to the wrong place!

Keep it on canals, no seasickness ?

I went to see this boat a year ago, woodwork / inside damp
needed New canopy
and the fabrics roof leaked too, some of these have been converted to a hard cabin top

lots of internal space and good access to machinery tanks etc

Which one did you see? The one in #1 which is sold or another one? I'm not buying the one in #1 because somebody else did.

I see. That looks like a poorly maintained charter boat.
