Which motorboat suits my grandad?

[jpay]

Hello,

My grandad wants to get a new river cruiser and he is finding it difficult to find them.
He's complaining that boats just arent about anymore, which I think is more like everything is on the internet and he's not down with interwebbing as he calls it.

He's looking for:
20-26ft
standing headroom (he's 6ft)
Outboard over Inboard
Galley
One long comfortable bunk (preferably not a v berth)

For under 10k.
He likes vikings but any brand/age.
Thank You in advance.

Hi, you may get a response from the Mobo section but may I suggest you also post a question here: http://www.ybw.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?66-The-Thames-Forum

I'm sure you are right. The internet is THE place for hunting so your efforts to help him out is going to be crucial. And while many present their offers on the web, they expect you to have an 'intermail' as well.

I'd suggest you prepare refeshments and invite him on a guided tour on the web, browsing the sales portals. Make sure you have the time... viewing the lot takes hours and the more options you find, the higher the level of confusion

Next point is visiting marinas, talking to people and eventually viewing boats in scope. Guess you have a part in that as well
