Hi Charly, try the search function to start with, you'll find some (maybe) useful postings there.

Better a second hand quality boat than a cheap new one. If you are thinking of £60k I would definitely go for 2nd hand.

I agree. Spend 60k on a 2nd hand boat that was 120k 3 years previously.

 

If you definitely want new then go for something like an Aintree - they turn out very nice boats for sensible money.

If you want a new boat because you want some or other custom feature or layout you can't find in a secondhand boat, ask yourself why so few/no boats have that custom feature or layout.
