Sorry, another what boat thread...

[wombat88]

I'm thinking about getting a motor boat again. I used to sail quite a lot and can still be found out in a dinghy most weeks during the summer.
I've had Hardy Pilots in the past which I have found slow and quite heavy but well built. Never used the cabin.

I reckon my requirements are:

Inboard/diesel/shaft
Harbour pottering and occasional Solent use. If it can get onto the plane so much the better.
6.5m /21ft max overall (small boat offer in marina)
Small cabin/cuddy, very limited insides, easy access to foredeck
Self draining
Not white if poss(!).
£15k

Is it a small Arvor?

I would think a shaft powered diesel boat at 6.5 meters would be a rare beast.

What about a Quicksilver 5.5 with 60 HP outboard at £10k including trailer.

Cheap as chips to run and you have bow access via the walk around....

Ignore the link description - it always comes up like that!

I think it's either an Arvor or as above a small outboard.

I would think at 21' you definately don't need diesel - I usually think about 23-24ft heavy (2.5 tonnes ish) - smaller or lighter you would be better with outboard petrol and much larger or heavier I would think diesel.
