Used centre console ~£30k

[simonch]

Perhaps the wrong forum for this kinda post?

I'm looking to buy a 6-6.5m centre console with small internal storage area. I've been using a friends benetau flyer 6 for the last week and it's phenomenal, I'm looking at one of them or a Jenneau cap camarat.

I'm just wondering if there are any others which people would recommend including in my searches?

Also - with a 140 Suzuki it's getting just over 1L/mile consumption. With something bigger like a 175 would the consumption increase greatly or does it work out around the same because the engine isn't working as hard?

Thanks in advance.

I had a Cap Camerat 625 walk around with 135 Honda previously.

The cockpit is pretty basic and not particularly good for socialising - it depends on what you want from a boat.

Having a loo is critical if you wish to bring others on board for a days boating....

I wouldn't worry about subtleties in fuel consumption, its just a cost of boating. If you are planning on mooring the boat afloat then that cost will dwarf your fuel costs!

4 MPG (nautical miles) is a good guide for mixed boating. a 175hp outboard may consume 60-70 litres an hour at full chat....

This is what I have just bought.......

Good luck on your search.

Thanks for your response. I have a rainieri 18' just now and it isn't a great sea boat - kicks up a lot of spray and is a real challenge to handle in any kind of sea state so essentially I'm looking for something a bit bigger and sturdier but the same style. Just for use as a day boat I have an etec 115 on it and just using that as a benchmark for fuel consumption.
I'd take either a sundeck or walk around style boat and the cabin would be used purely for lifejacket storage etc. we use the boat for days out with the kids - swimming, paddleboarding etc

Where are you going to use your boat?

Where are you going to use your boat?

North east coast of Scotland where it's always windy and often quite lumpy - hence wanting something with better sea handling
