I don't know. Is that cheap? It seems quite a lot for not a very nice boat.

It's dearer than this one

30+ year old, sub 30 foot boat? There is a wide choice on the market at less than 10k.

Decent Centaur would be a lot cheaper and nicer.

I rather liked the Samphire 26 that was 'floated' past for comment.... The 'latest and greatest' above is way overpriced, but probably OK as a fornicatorium on inland waters. So there....

I to like the Samphire and if he accepts my offer I will have it (subject to final inspection)

just looking at the cabin windows on that Kent makes me wonder what would happen if a wave hit them...

Nice boat but not for serious sailing; OK for sheltered waters.

It's a funny-looking thing, isn't it? Overall it's shaped like a yacht, but in detail it's all straight off a river-cruising motorboat. I assume the company that built it (or possibly the designer) usually did mobos?

Now here is a boat hat I think is a cracker, going cheap so far:

If I could move it in time it would be mine, sadly work is keeping me away...

Half the price would be more reasonable-certainly under £10000

Kent Motor sailer: started life designed as a Norfolk Broads hire boat.

'Nuff said.

Cheap? No not for one of these. Looks like the owner has got fed up and is wanting to come ashore pronto.

I think we can guess why.

Thank you all my question has been answered
